The centerpiece of our day is play.

The carefree days of summer are alive and well at Acorn Hill! The centerpiece of our day is play—free, creative and child-led.

Our summer is spent primarily outdoors, where children experience the beauty of our wooded playground, atop a hill adjacent to Sligo Creek Park. Each session includes water play, story telling, singing, circle games, crafts, nature walks and gardening. Full Day students will rest indoors.

Early Birds (8:30 – 9:00 am) is available as an add-on to your registration, and Owls Nest (3:00 – 5:30 pm) is available as an add-on for Full Day registrants. Please select the appropriate registration form, containing all of your preferences.

Our mixed-age class is for children ages 3½ to 6¼ as of June 1. Toilet mastery is required for all students. Classes are limited to 15 children. Completed health and permission forms are due on March 14.
