WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
Growing together since 1997
Little Acorns was founded with one simple belief: every child deserves a place where they feel safe, loved, and free to discover the world. What began as a small village nursery has grown into a thriving community of families who trust us with their most precious little ones.
Our experienced, team blends structured learning with free play, outdoor adventure, and creative exploration. We partner closely with parents, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.
"The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn."

WHAT GUIDES US
Our values run deep
Everything we do stems from a set of core principles that have guided us from day one.
Nature-led learning
Our outdoor garden is at the heart of everything we do. Children plant, climb, and explore — discovering the world through hands and curiosity.
Warmth & belonging
We create a second home where every child is known by name, every family is welcomed, and every milestone is celebrated together as a community.
Curiosity & creativity
We believe children are born curious. We nurture that spirit through art, music, storytelling, and open-ended play that sparks imagination every day.
