Acorn Tree Child Garden Daycare

Acorn Tree Child Garden is a Waldorf-inspired, full day preschool geared to children 3-6 years old. This home-based program nurtures the wonder of early childhood in a comfortable, beautiful and child-centered space that stimulates curiosity, imagination, and learning through play. Each day brings a structured balance of open play, practical life activities, gardening and interaction with nature, art and handcrafts, storytelling, and Circle time verses, songs and games. All these activities not only bring joy to the day, but also help children develop in their communication and social skills, strengthen their fine and gross motor coordination, and teach them practical skills of daily living.Here you will observe a lot of natural materials, open-ended toys, plants, cloths, dolls, and artistic activities that encourage self-expression and exploration. Through a regular rotation of toys and materials, the environment remains stimulating and lively without feeling cluttered or visually chaotic. A large yard with gardens and mature trees provides ample room for outdoor play and learning experiences.Nature and the changing seasons provide thematic structure to the program, with daily and weekly rhythms that provide comfort and confidence.The natural world and seasonal rhythms feed the soul of the young child and are regularly acknowledged through story, verses, songs, and special celebrations.The role of the adult here is to provide loving guidance and structure for the children to safely and joyously explore their world, try giving them words and tools to express their needs and work through frustrations, to help them develop new skills that lead to age appropriate levels of responsibility and independence, and to support their natural curiosity and desire to learn.
