• Little Acorn Daycare has been designed to be a fun and creative space for children to come to each day. I have a curriculum that changes either weekly or bi-weekly depending on what we’re learning about. Some examples are: the seasons, bugs, cooking and baking, shadows, weather, farming, and the ocean. All units are based in play-based learning. I provide an environment that encourages children to explore and learn at their own pace through play. I want children to be excited to come each day and to be curious about everything!

  • Parents supply all snacks and meals for their children.
