Services
Little Acorn Preschool is sponsored by the First United Methodist church in cooperation with the community. We offer part-time preschool. Mission Statement: To provide an early learning environment, with child centered curriculum and family focused community. Our goal for each child, is to experience love, trust, individual success, thus strengthening their self esteem through play.
In the Rainbow Room we really strive to make the classroom engaging for the children by having a variety of activities available for them and exploring different art mediums throughout the year. We sing lots of songs, play fun games and make new friends! Socialization is our main goal for our Rainbow Room students.
In the Firefly Room we strive to create a fun and nurturing environment. We work hard to help each child develop a lifelong love of learning. Play is the most important element in all that we do, it is crucial in helping children grow, learn, and explore. We also introduce basic academics such as colors, numbers, and shapes in a variety of fun and engaging ways.
Our goal is to create a fun and loving environment for all the children and families that come into our class. The value of play is important to me. Through play, children develop cognitive, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. We will create a safe environment for children to be able to take risks that can encourage their growth and all aspects of their development.
In the Sunshine Class play is at the foundation of all that we do. Through free choice and teacher directed activities children are learning about the world around them. Literacy, science and math are explored daily with hands on experiences. Children in the Sunshine Class are presented opportunities to expand their social/emotional development and create lasting friendships.

I went here when I was little, and loved it! The staff are helpful and on their feet, interacting with the kids. The kids are learning life lessons while they play. There are different classrooms, each named after an animal, and the playground is fun with lots of different things to do that appeal to preschoolers. They also have a lot of family events during the year, so you can get involved in what's happening.

I could not be more impressed and pleased with this school! They encourage independence, teamwork, kindness, respect, and many more important life skills with a play-centered teaching style. The teachers and staff are organized and keep parents informed weekly about activities and lessons being taught in the classroom.
Another big component of Little Acorn is their family-focused events throughout the school year. Favorites of ours are the Carnival, Santa Breakfast, Christmas Concert, and Art Show, to name just a few among many others.
The school actively supports parents as well as students

I have had 2 daughters in preschool at Little Acorn and we couldn’t be happier! The teachers are incredibly dedicated and go above and beyond to create a positive environment for both learning and play. They even help with potty training! My oldest daughter was so well- prepared for kindergarten that she is now requesting to be challenged more academically at her elementary school. Highly recommend Little Acorn!

Amazing pre-school experience! Our daughter went to the afternoon busy bee class for the 16-17 school year. The staff was attentive, responsive, friendly, and flexible. I felt that they communicated well, taught my child great life skills and polished up her prep for kindergarten. They had fun family events throughout the year, and a couple of 'field trips'. I can't recommend them enough! We'll certainly be back when our son is ready for pre k.
Some things to know.... they offer 1/2 day programs only, am or pm. Ranging from 1-5 days per week. Reasonable rates. Great social/emotional and academic
