"Mighty oaks from little acorns grow"

Geoffrey Chaucer

 

Mission Statement

Project Acorn funds quality preschool education in Morris County and surrounding communities for children of working families in need.

Since 1995, Project Acorn has recognized the long-term impact that quality early childhood education has on the character of our community.  Studies have demonstrated that early childhood education profoundly affects a child’s life:  intellectual development, self-confidence, even future earning potential.  It helps our children grow up to be responsible and fulfilled adults. 

The concept of Project Acorn is to seed the educational foundations for children in our communities whose families are devoted to their education and who want their children to have the best possible start, but who cannot afford the cost of a quality preschool.

We fund a school year (September – June) program for 3 and 4 year olds at one of our partner preschools.  We provide tuition for half day programs; however families should be aware that some of the schools have other assistance available to cover a full day.
