About Acorn

Dear Prospective Parent,

We are currently enrolling and have waitlist availability at all age levels.  

The Acorn School for Early Childhood Development was established out of a desire to create a comprehensive, effective, and replicable model of a high quality early care and education program. The Acorn School is focused on providing excellent education and care for children and support for families.  Equally as important, are program elements designed to enhance staff development, retention, and satisfaction.

We understand that parents are a child’s first and best teacher.  Our role is to assist parents in this critical work by providing an environment that is supportive of each child and family. We also see the importance of providing classrooms where children are actively guided through Social and Emotional skill development.  As children attain social and emotional competence, the stage is set for a lifetime of learning.

We welcome Boulder County CCAP, and CSS – City of Boulder program with the support of the Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation.

When a family enrolls at The Acorn School, we encourage them to become actively involved in our community.   We are extremely fortunate to work with a group of parents who are so committed to their children, and to The Acorn School.

The Following are Virtual Tours so that you can explore our program by age level.

Thank you for taking the time to investigate The Acorn School in your search for high-quality childcare.
