We help with potty training! Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten, located in Vancouver WA, is sponsored by the First United Methodist Church in cooperation with the community. We appreciate this opportunity to serve families during their children's early years and accept the responsibility of offering them the finest in early childhood education. All children regardless of economic background, race, religion, or ethnic origin are welcome. We do not provide a Bible centered curriculum, but do place emphasis on the universal values as defined by the following examples: · Teach that all life is to be valued and respected. Our goal is for each child to experience love, trust, and individual success, thus strengthening his/her self-esteem. We recognize the importance of adults as examples of behavior for children, as they see teachers displaying such attributes as gratefulness, sharing, patience, love, joy, fairness and enthusiasm. We also believe the best way to learn is by DOING. We provide experiences where children learn on all levels: physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional. We value play as the essence of learning for children in social relations, initiative, language, creative representation, music, movement, classification, number, space, and time. From the Director Little Acorn Preschool & Kindergarten has been a part of the community for over 25 years. We thank you for helping us provide a nurturing environment where children are respected and celebrated. I would like to take this opportunity to say what a privilege it is to work with parents and children in our program. The teachers at Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten are well educated, but just as important, they too love being with the children everyday, and it shows. We hope that your child's preschool experience with us fosters their creativity, self-esteem, and sense of enthusiasm about the world. It is the goal of all Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten staff members to assist children in becoming life long learners! Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with your child. Sincerely, 
· Believe each child is unique and we respect each child's timetable for developmental growth.
· We explore the meaning of living together and teach that each person has individual rights that are to be respected.
· We teach the children that the world is good and strive to develop in them an appreciation for its beauty and dependability by providing opportunities to explore, observe, ponder, and question.
