Acorn School Preschool and Kindergarten

Acorn School is a special school in the Seacoast area of New Hampshire, where young children develop and learn together in an atmosphere that is consistent, encouraging, and cheerful. Founded in 1972, this non-profit, play-based preschool and kindergarten is located in Stratham, NH in beautiful and natural surroundings. Pre-K and kindergarten programs are offered for children ages three through six.

From its inception, Acorn School has had a strong connection with the environment - through our curriculum as well as everyday acts. We compost and recycle, have a No-Idle effort during carpool to save fuel and reduce fumes and emissions, and purchase rainforest acres through the Nature Conservancy each year, among other efforts.


Warm and Nurturing Environment

At Acorn School we know that your child is unique. We focus on your child's social, emotional, and physical development as much as his/her intellectual development. Our curriculum and warm, friendly environment stimulate all aspects of your child as s/he becomes involved in learning. For it is only when a child is comfortable, self-confident, and developmentally ready that s/he is able to perform and succeed to his/her potential.

A child's play is his/her work, and it is the way s/he comes to know and understand the world and the people in it. At Acorn School, we make time for play and respect that it is a vital and necessary part of childhood.
