Acorn Class
The Acorn Class is facilitated by Acorn Group Limited, which also operates Acorn Playhouse in Wong Chuk Hang. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing educational environment that promotes kindergarten readiness and fosters independence. Our program focuses on various areas of development, including social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive growth through engaging hands-on learning experiences. We believe in the importance of moral education as the foundation of our curriculum, ensuring a holistic approach to the child's development during these critical early years.
Our Activities:
Music & Movement, Arts & Craft, Indoor & Outdoor Exercises, Storytime, Sensory, Messy Play & Experimental Inquiry
Our Classes:

Why is sensory training important?
- Strengthens bonding： Parent and baby are led through a variety of integrated sensory activities designed to have a better understanding in each stage of child development.
- Develops key skills： Your child will be able to interact with other babies, enabling them to learn important social and personal skills and gain self-confidence.
- Stimulates development： Parents can learn how to stimulate and increase the development of their children’s psychomotor and vestibular skills. Babies’ physical, cognitive, multi-lingual and musical abilities will be enhanced over the course of the sensory classes.

- Begins to build a foundation for moral development where he or she learns about the difference between right and wrong
- Expands memory and attention span through a series of interactive activities.
- Focuses on strengthening gross and fine motor skills to stimulate early brain development
- Expresses curiosity by touching/holding different types of materials.
- Engages with other people to help achieve a goal, e.g. to get an object out of reach
