From 2005-2015 operated and owned one of the first Reggio Emilia inspired schools in York Region, Ont. Acorn School was a place for children, families, and educators. Acorn organized monthly study groups and professional learning for students, educators from local communities, colleges, universities and abroad to learn from each other and to share our stories of our experiences and research with children. Acorn School took great pride as a unified team of educators and professors who continuously worked together, collaborating with children, families and the community Defending right to quality education for all children.
We continue to work together towards investing in the 100 Languages as a learning context.

Sets of Wonder
Acorn has been creating Sets of Wonders since 2005. It started when we offering study tours & workshops for teachers at Acorn School. Offering opportunities for teachers to think with materials as important parts of their own learning and for children. These Wonder Sets lead into thinking with curiosity, wonderment, questions, testing, and innovation. The idea is to lend the teacher to think with the children, environment/spaces, and with the quality of a material(s). Each experience is unique to who the teacher and child are in this context. Together with artists, architects, designers, engineers, urban designers, and other professions carefully collaborate on ideas to provide intentionally and thoughtful materials with the invitation to think further and/or add to the sets.
