About Little Acorn Patch
Little Acorn Patch has focused on young children since 1981, serving ages 12 or 16 months (depending on location) through 12 years. Its preschool program includes play-based learning centers for math, science, dramatic play, music, creative art and computers, plus a kindergarten program and a pre-kindergarten group that is introduced to computer use. Enrichment is built into the week: an independent language teacher visits each class for six weeks of Spanish or French, a teacher comes once a month for hands-on science, and children have a weekly physical workout to music and a choice of computer time. A summer camp program is available. Tuition and fees are raised each September, and parents receive progress reports. Rated 4.9 from 11 Google reviews, 10 of them five stars.
