Acorn Learning Academy

We started with Acorn Learning when our oldest son was 3 years old. He LOVED going to school, his teachers, and friends. The staff was dedicated, took the time to work with him one-on-one to prepare him for kindergarten. Our son graduated from Acorn and excelled in kindergarten. He is now 9 years old and still reflects fondly upon his time at Acorn. When we had our 2nd child in 2009, in was a no-brainer as to where to send him for childcare- Acorn Learning. I do not believe you will ever find a more caring, dedicated staff, most of which have been with the center for years. Our youngest is excited and happy to go to school every day and loves his teachers. We love the fact that it's a small center, the staff all work together and know every child, and we don't worry when we drop him off because we know he's in good hands. I will acknowledge that the building is older and not as fancy as the newer centers, but who cares about that if you know your child is happy, safe, learning, and loved. more

My child has been at Acorn Learning Academy since the beginning of the year. I have been most impressed with their commitment to giving my child the tools that he needs to succeed in Kindergarten. The curriculum is based on the Texas Education Agency?s Preschool Guidelines and the staff is creative. My son is proud to come home, tell us about what he learned at ?big kid school,? and show us the imaginative art projects that the teachers come up with for that day. The curriculum goes above and beyond what is required, for example each month the classes highlight a particular country and do projects to teach some basic facts about that country. In November the school even celebrated Diwali, an important holiday in India, with Indian food and presentations. The school also brought an African woman to give a presentation on the animals in Africa when that was the focus of the month. Diversity and tolerance are very important to the staff at Acorn, which is only a small part of the warm and compassionate way in which they care for all of the children. Since he began the preschool program in August, I can see how he is changing and growing both in academic skills and maturity. His teacher makes sure that students are ready with not only their ABC?s and 123?s but also the social skills necessary to thrive in Kindergarten. I would recommend Acorn to any parent looking to give their child an enjoyable early academic experience. more
