You Ladies Are Awesome!

April 22, 2016 by diane

Name: Angela D.

Was so fortunate to have my son attend this school for almost a year. He was in the infant room and loved it. He started crawling after only 3 days of attending the school and walking at just 8 months. Love the teachers and staff especially Miss Dolores the school chef and the awesome team in the infant roon lead by Miss Niki….they made my son feel welcomed and cared for and I was really sad that we moved this month because I wanted him to stay. Miss Susie is such a great director and took time to personally call me when anything came up.

The ladies that were teaching the older children would switch off to help out in the infant room when needed…great team work and just a wonderful experience we had there…thank you so much.
We will miss everyone there… Vanessa, Annie, Patty, Nicole, Amanda, Melissa, Tiara, Johanna, Monica and many more….you ladies are awesome…. 🙂

High turnover

January 27, 2016 by ray

Name: Grace C.

I took my kids out of previous daycare and enrolled my 3 year old daughter and 1.5 year old son to little acorn because it was on my way to work and it provided lunch and snacks (additional monthly)

my BIGGEST CONCERN is the employee turnover rate in the infant room is a concern. 1) they don’t notify a new hire 2) new teacher does not introduce themselves 3) during these last 5 months, there has been at least 4 new teachers. where’s the stability for any child there?

Infant Care

If you need infant care then this is the place to go. I had my son here starting when he was 3 months old, and having never had a child before I was slightly hesitant to leave him anywhere – but we do need to work. After a very short time we were so happy that we had gotten into Little Acorn. The amount of growth and knowledge that he acquired during his time in the infant room continually amazed us! I mean, we had no idea he could read the alphabet and read numbers 1-9 in both English and Spanish until he did it at home. We most certainly cannot take the credit for that… other than sending him here.

If you have an infant and need day care then I’d definitely recommend Little Acorn.

Little Acorn Montessori Academy has been a wonderful experience

July 20, 2015 by diane

Name: Ari G.

As a new parents we must confront decisions that will make critical differences in the life of our child. Such was the decision to 1) move from an at home nanny to a preschool setting and 2) choosing a preschool that will provide the warmth and nurturing every child needs plus the careful guidance and positive encouragement for their developmental growth.

Little Acorn Montessori Academy has been a wonderful experience for our daughter and for us. As parents we are informed of school projects, activities and learning progress. Our daughter enjoys every day — we know because we asked her daily — and has blossomed from her traumatic first days in the infant room into a happy toddler navigating social interaction with classmates and then into a confident four year old with manners and critical thinking skills. The Montessori approach to child development and self determined learning has prepared her well academically — she scored very well in private school entrance exams.

We highly recommend this school. It’s diverse, welcoming and everyone is nice, cordial and respectful — qualities they impart to the children.

Our experience with the parents on the birthday party circuit has been terrific too. The friends our daughter has made at Little Acorn Montessori Academy are deeply cherished.

A loving and nurturing environment

July 16, 2012 by diane

Name: Parent

Our son has attended Little Acorn Montessori Academy since he was 4 months old, he is now just over 3 years old. A lot of changes have occurred in that time, and I have to say all have been for the better. One of the most important things that has stayed the same is the loving and caring teachers.Our son started with Ms. Maria, Ms. Nikki, and Ms. Vanessa in the infant room. We couldn’t have been happier with the love and attention that these ladies gave our son. Except for the normal mom guilt of leaving my child, I never had any reservations in leaving my baby with them. They kept us apprised of what went on each day and even started flash cards with him at 9 months. Eventually he moved up to the Toddler room. At that time it was primarily Ms. Susie, who is now the director of Little Acorn. He did also spend some time with Ms. Seyda and Ms. Monique. In the toddler class his communication skills blossomed. They did a wonderful job teaching him his ABCs, reinforcing good manners, and potty training him. Currently he is in Ms. Edina and Ms. Noemy’s class. Here he has been learning to write his letters, numbers and his name. He has also come a long way in his coloring and motor skills. They also do a lot of singing. In fact he has learned the continents as well as colors in Spanish through singing. There are several other teachers there like Ms. Fausta that have taken such good care of our son. Ms. Fausta will be the next class that our son will be in, but he did have her as a teacher for a little while during some transitions and loved the attention she gave him. The other teachers that I am not as familiar with are usually there during the day when I’m at work. On the occasion that I have come in at odd times, they have displayed the same love and attention that I’ve witnessed by the other teachers. Our son also participates in several extracurricular activities that they offer. He loves the music class, his dancing class as well as the sports class. It’s so nice that they offer these classes, because as working parents, it’s really difficult to fit other experiences in during the week. At times in each of these classes our son has had many emotional days during the transition time at drop off. Each one of the teachers as well as the director has helped make that transition easier on both our son as well as my husband and I. They don’t think twice about picking him up or putting an arm around him to comfort and distract him. I’ve also had the director call me to reassure me later that day that he was fine or let me know if he was having an especially difficult day for some reason.Overall, we feel that our son is in a loving environment where they are encouraging his development socially, educationally, and creatively. They have been instrumental in helping him become the independent little man we are so proud of today.
