INFANT PROGRAM (6 Weeks – 12 Months)

A nurturing, sensory-rich start to lifelong learning.

At Acorn Learning Academy, our Infant Program provides a warm, safe, and developmentally supportive environment where your baby can bond, explore, and grow at their own pace. Every moment is intentional — from soothing routines to early sensory experiences — laying the foundation for strong brain development and emotional security.

Your baby’s well-being is our top priority.

Soft music & rhythm (art + brain development)
Tummy time exploration (engineering + strength)
Sensory textures (touch + science)
Simple cause-and-effect play (technology foundations)
