Excellent Learning Center

PHILOSOPHY

Little Acorns Early Learning Center recognizes the value of children's relationships with adults, who are able to convey love, understanding, respect and commitment to children's well-being.

Children learn in many ways; for young children, exploratory play is the primary vehicle for learning. Little Acorns serves as a resource for learning about the physical world, social skills, emotional expression, and cooperation.

To achieve these goals, our experienced and skilled staff work to create an enriched and stimulating environment for children, providing the settings, materials and support with which learning is facilitated. We seek to foster social skills, receptive and expressive language skills, school readiness, gross-motor and fine-motor coordination and creativity.

Little Acorns Early Learning Center is licensed by the Maryland State Department of Education Child Care Division of Human Resources, accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) since 1989, and a Maryland EXCELS Participant. We serve infants with full-time care, toddlers and preschoolers with full-time and part-time care and provide before-and-after school care to elementary school children.

We accommodate children with disabilities whenever possible. With an international enrollment and staff, Little Acorns Early Learning Center values diversity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, citizenship or sexual orientation.
