Our Mission

Our Chelmsford preschool provides a safe and secure environment for our students so they feel comfortable and maintain a sense of belonging.

Through meaningful activities and play, our students can form friendships and grow socially. As educators, we believe it is our duty to nurture and guide our students’ innate curiosity and desire to learn. We don’t think children are meant to be molded. They're individuals who we’ll help grow.

Our daughter absolutely LOVED going to Little Acorn Pre-school. We loved the home school feel of the beautiful clean facilities and wish we would have had more years at this great preschool. She is in kindergarten now and was very prepared thanks to her great preschool experience. We highly recommend LITTLE ACORN. Thank you, Gina, Kristin, and Mr. Rega. We miss you!!
