Description: ACC offers a rich and nurturing environment where children are empowered to be confident learners and people. The children's interests and needs guide our curriculum and planning. Children are engaged and nurtured to play, to become part of a community, to feel confident, to think critically and holistically, and are encouraged to be kind to themselves and others. Our school is spacious and feels homey. Our teaching staff has over 200 years of collective teaching experience. We value a deep connection to nature and spend time outside in all seasons. We Garden, observe and explore our habitat, and enjoy that we have a 35,000 square foot playground to stretch our legs. When the weather does not agree, we have a 3500 square foot rumpus room where there is space for gross motor activities. The rumpus room is also used for weekly movement classes, and a biweekly music program through a partnership with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. We provide nourishing meals twice a day and honor special health needs and cultural needs. Our school collaborates with Children's integrated services and area EEE programs to support children of all abilities and is an active member of the PreK partnership with area school districts. Excellence is important and ACC is both 5 STAR rated and NAEYC accredited. All in all, our school is a home away from where both children and families are supported and honored.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

The center badly damaged my child by not following the child’s IEP. Even though they sat in on the IEP meetings they claimed they were unaware of the IEP. This is grossly inept.
