Preschool mornings for ages 2½ to 4, after-school reading and math for grades 1 to 8, and a Saturday art studio. Small groups, the same teachers every week, and a yard with a real oak in it. Come and see the room before you decide.
Four canned answers for a demo; nothing is sent. For a real answer, call Maya at 226-555-0178.
A small learning room in Hespeler. The same two teachers every week, eight children in a morning group, three in a tutoring group, and a yard with a real oak in it.
one room · two teachers · since the sample beganFree play and a story, a snack, a project, outside whatever the weather, songs and pick-up at noon. Diapers are fine until they are ready.
ages 2½ to 4 · 9 to noonOne teacher, one child, or a group of three who are working on the same thing. Homework first, then the gap we found last week.
grades 1 to 8 · 3:30 to 6Six Saturdays, one big project from sketch to the wall. Paint, clay, print. Aprons and the mess are ours.
ages 5 to 10 · six weeksPick a morning or an afternoon on the visit page and we call you back to confirm. Come and sit in the corner for half an hour; that tells you more than this page can.
half an hour · book a visitNine to noon, the same shape every day, because little ones like to know what is next. Two teachers for eight children, and the yard in every weather.
A wave at the door, shoes off, and straight to the blocks or the book corner. Nobody is rushed in; a slow start is a good start.
Fruit and crackers at the low table, then one story read slowly, with the pictures turned round. Allergies are on the wall and in our heads.
Paint, glue, a bug jar, a number game. One thing, done properly, and it comes home in the bag on Friday.
The yard in every weather but lightning: the oak, the sandbox, the mud kitchen. Songs at 11:45 and pick-up at noon with a one-line note about the morning.
Prices are per child. Siblings get 10% off the second child's fees. The programs page has the full schedule and what to pack.
Ages 2½ to 4, Mon to Fri, 9 to noon. Pick the mornings that suit you.
Grades 1 to 8, Mon to Thu, 3:30 to 6. Reading and math, one to one.
Ages 5 to 10, Saturdays 10 to 11:30. One big project, start to finish.
No. Diapers and pull-ups are fine for the preschool mornings until your child is ready, and we follow your lead on training. Pack a change of clothes in a labelled bag every day regardless; paint and puddles find everyone.
We stay with your child, always. After a fifteen-minute grace there is a $1-a-minute late fee, which we waive when traffic or weather is the reason; a call ahead helps.
Two registered early childhood educators run the mornings, and the tutoring is done by the same person each week so the child is not starting over. You meet them at the visit, and they are the ones who answer the phone.
Please do. Half an hour, bring your child, sit in the corner. Pick a morning or an afternoon and we call to confirm. There is nothing to sign at the visit.
No. Little Acorns Learning is a fictional centre built as a concept demo by The Nerd Next Door. The teachers, the fees, the spots and the answers in the box above were invented for it, and nothing on this page books or sends.
Half an hour on a morning or an afternoon, with your child. We call back within a day to set a time.
