Watch Your “Little Acorn” Thrive in Oak Knoll’s Pre-K Program
A love of learning begins in Oak Knoll’s Little Acorns program, a co-educational pre-kindergarten that inspires our youngest students to approach each new challenge with a joyful spirit and sparks critical thinking through purposeful play.
Here, days are filled with creative exploration, self-discovery, faith, and friendship within an enriched curriculum that balances literacy, math, culture studies, science, and religion. Is your Little Acorn ready to grow and play with us?
