Problem:  Children arrive at public school without a pedagogical foundation in mathematical concepts and relationships because parents are not trained in early childhood learning.  Acorn Children’s Academy has two degreed and certified teachers, but we still need updated equipment and pedagogical aids to engage children’s attention and imagination.

Solution:  Establish a cabinet full of products, equipment and activities which facilitate learning engagement with counting, relationship and mathematical (fraction and multiplication) concepts.  The cabinet should be lockable to ensure accountability of items and limit child access to items with small parts to time blocks of structured teacher instructional time.

Goal:  Children who complete a regular Preschool program will be ready to enter Kindergarten with the following skills:

• Numbers
• Count to 100
• Colors
• Patterns
• Understand Concepts and Follow Directions
• Visual Discrimination and Touch
• Light and Sound
• Nature Exploration
• Senses
• Weights and measures
• Date and Time
• Sorting
• Shapes
• Magnetism
