The Acorn Room

Ages Two to Three

This room focuses on learning through play in a safe, friendly and caring environment. The Acorn room focuses on three main areas of learning: communication and language, personal social and emotional development, and physical development. The room also hosts group and table top activities to support development in sharing, taking turns, and independence skills. Free choice activities include: topic week play, early language skills, creative play and story time.  A nominated key person works closely with your child to track their progress throughout the year, providing you with a memorable keepsake of your child's life at Whittington.
