Our Programs
3 Year Old Group
Our 3-year-old kindergarten program provides a gentle and joyful introduction to early learning.
In a safe, nurturing environment, children are supported as they take their first steps into group play, learning to share, cooperate, and build friendships. Through a play-based curriculum, children explore the world around them, develop independence, and strengthen their communication and social skills.
Each child is encouraged to learn at their own pace, with hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence. Our educators carefully design the program to support every child’s individual interests, making this an exciting and meaningful foundation for their journey into 4-year-old kindergarten.

Families
We believe that families are a child’s first and most important teachers. At Acacia, we value strong partnerships with families and work together to support each child’s growth, well-being, and sense of belonging.
Our educators foster open, respectful communication and encourage families to be actively involved in their child’s learning journey. We celebrate the diversity and unique backgrounds of every family in our community, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all.

Learning Through Play at Acacia
At Acacia Avenue Preschool, we believe play is the foundation of early learning. Our structured, nurturing environment encourages children to make choices, explore ideas, and engage deeply in activities that support their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Educators thoughtfully guide play experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving. Music, movement, and meaningful interactions are woven into each day, helping children build confidence, communication skills, and a strong sense of belonging.
