Baby Acorns
Baby Acorns was created in 2006 as a natural response to the need for a care environment carefully adapted to very young children — research shows that 80% of a child's brain capacity develops before the age of 3.
Baby Acorns was the first licensed nursery in Bucharest to introduce a different model of care, based on an optimal ratio of 1 educator to 4 children, ensuring constant presence, safety and stable relationships.
We work with a team dedicated exclusively to the Early Years segment, made up of educators specialised in working with young children. Ongoing training ensures we constantly adapt to children's needs and apply best practice in care and relationships at this age.
The educational programme follows the "whole child" principle of the British EYFS curriculum. Children are encouraged to explore, play, express their needs and make their first choices in a safe, balanced setting that supports their physical, emotional, social and cognitive development.
Baby Acorns offers 2 options adapted to your and your child's needs. Whichever programme you choose, your child grows in a sustainable, healthy and creative environment.
