The Acorn-A School for Young Children

Welcome to the Parent Corner

Here you’ll find important family information, helpful resources, school updates, and photo galleries that capture the moments, adventures, and learning that make our community special. Whether you are preparing for your child's first day, looking for helpful parenting resources, completing a form, or simply wondering what comes next, you will find useful information here.

Ways To Support

Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that help make everyday learning possible. The Acorn maintains a wish list of classroom materials, playground resources, books, supplies, and other items that support our students and teachers throughout the year.

By purchasing an item from our wish list, you can make a direct and tangible difference in the lives of our children. Whether you choose one small classroom need or help provide a larger resource, every gift helps create the engaging, hands-on learning environment that makes The Acorn special.

 

Explore Our Wishlist

Become part of The Acorn's history with a personalized brick in our walkway. For a $100 donation, you can engrave the name of a child, family member, grandparent, pet, business, or special supporter. With more than 600 bricks already lining the path, each one represents a meaningful connection to The Acorn and creates a lasting memory for generations to come.

Order your personalized brick and become part of the Acorn story.
