SAVE SCHOOL

Acorn Learning Center was established in 1987, with a mission to provide quality preschool programs for children and their families by facilitating both academic and social growth.

We believe that education is a process that starts from birth and that establishing an early foundation for learning is essential to a child 's success throughout their academic career.

The curriculum and the environment in each classroom are set up to promote the wonder of discovery and learning for each child.

Educationally qualified and experienced teachers provide a warm and challenging atmosphere where children are encouraged to explore and develop to their full potential.
