Acorn School is a school for childhood
We recognize that this time is a short but significant period in life when trust, curiosity, and emotion are spontaneous and expressed with exuberance and confidence. 
 
Acorn School is a non-profit, play-based preschool and kindergarten in Stratham, NH. We have a strong connection to the environment, and focus on your child’s social, emotional, and physical development as well as his/her intellectual development.

• Our exceptionally low student-teacher ratios ensure that your child is well cared for throughout the day
  We have a warm  friendly environment to help children feel comfortable and self-confident
• We emphasize the process rather than the product
• We focus on nurturing the whole child, and find learning opportunities in every part of our day, from encouraging them to pour their own drinks to taking turns bringing out the compost
• We are a TimberNook certified school, which provides your child with unparalleled opportunities for nature play that challenge the senses and inspire creativity, imagination and independent play in the great outdoors
• Our focus on environmental education extends beyond outdoor play– from using recycled materials, composting through Mr. Fox, reducing our waste and learning about endangered species and celebrating Earth Day as a community event
