OUR MISSION...
Our mission is to offer a sacred learning environment for children and adults. Whether you or your child is joining our camps, classes or events, being here feels like being home. For almost a decade Little Acorn has created meaningful community for many adults and children in the Asheville area. We strive to be 100% present with your you and your children while providing unique programming in a secret garden like environment. Every human deserves healthy and joyful learning experiences! Jenny works hard to honor your whole being; head, heart, and hands!
OUR CAMPS PROVIDE NATURE AND PLAY BASED LEARNING...
Our magical play yard with its little bamboo forest, play structure, balancing logs, swings and our cozy outdoor classroom provides the perfect, safe, inspiring and nurturing environment your child needs and deserves as they learn and grow. Little Acorn is a safe haven for children to socialize, connect with nature, art, language, music, and movement. Did I mention our play yard is epic :)?
WE ARE INSPIRED BY THE SEASONS....
Our daily and monthly rhythms and activities observe and honor the changing of the seasons. Our activities speak deeply to the whole child. Head, heart and hands! Painting, drawing, crafting, weaving, balancing, building, chopping vegetables for our weekly vegetable soup... Dailey activities engage both fine and gross motor skill. Long outdoor and indoor play times allows children to engage in deep imaginative play and connect with nature. Our Circle time is rich with song, movement, and language, while story time is a time to practice deep listening and quieting ones self to live into the magic of a fairy tale, nature story, puppet show or play.
There's no better feeling for a parent than knowing your child is in good hands. Jenny was my daughter's teacher for a few years during the important formative years. Everything from the way Jenny spoke with her class to how she told stories and performed the activities for the day as the class went from one mode to another was so deliberate and full of care.
