PRIMARY CAREGIVING & CONTINUITY OF CARE
Our goal is to foster and continue our philosophy of primary caregiving and continuity of care, which is the essence of The Acorn School, and childcare at its best. Children require supportive, committed, and bonded relationships with their caregivers in order to thrive and progress in their development. The Acorn School matches children with teachers (or primary caregivers) who remain with them from infancy or toddlerhood through pre-kindergarten. The children shift classes together, with their teachers, each year while the oldest cluster graduates to kindergarten. This system emulates a family environment within the context of a childcare center, and allows teachers to connect with the parents while fully comprehending the needs and learning patterns of their children.
