Our story

A kindergarten teacher’s calm start

Little Acorns opened in 2014 in a small building next to the Westmorland library branch, with a fenced playground out back.

Laura Jensen taught kindergarten before that, and she built the place around what she kept wishing for: a calm start. The rooms are small on purpose.

  • 01

    Small rooms, always

    Eight children and two teachers per classroom, whatever the day brings.

  • 02

    Outside, every day

    Children play in the fenced playground behind the building, rain or shine.

  • 03

    Tell parents the truth

    The daily report says what happened, including the short nap and the bumped knee.

Why Little Acorns

What small rooms and a real kitchen change for your child

A few things we do that you can see for yourself on a morning tour.

Enrol

  1. Two teachers, eight children

    Every classroom holds eight children with two teachers, so transitions and nap time stay calm and each child is seen.

  2. Lunch cooked on site

    Lunch and snacks are prepared in our kitchen. You do not need to pack food or send a lunchbox.

  3. Outdoor play every day

    The fenced playground sits behind the building, and children go outside daily to run, climb and dig.

  4. A door that stays coded

    The front door is coded and every pickup is signed. A child leaves only with an adult you have authorized.

Admissions

From your first message to the first morning

  1. Write to us

    Tell us your child’s age and the days you need.

  2. Tour on a weekday morning

    Come and see the classroom in action, by appointment. Mornings are when the rooms are busiest and most telling.

  3. Hold your spot

    Enroll with a one-time registration fee, separate from weekly tuition, which is set by age group.

  4. First morning

    Your child joins the room with two teachers and seven other children. From that afternoon, the photo report arrives daily.

Parents

What families say

  • Our son cried the first week and now runs in every morning. The daily photos helped us so much at work.

    Emily S.

  • The teachers stayed the same for two years. That consistency mattered more to us than anything.

    Mark D.

  • Real outdoor time every day, even in winter, and healthy lunches cooked on site.
