About this preschool

Peter Pan Preschool serves children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age in Alameda, California. The school emphasizes a play-based, child-centered curriculum designed to foster creativity, independence, and well-rounded development.

Philosophy
The program is based on accepting children as they are and placing them in a warm, loving environment to encourage their full potential. Each child is treated as a unique individual, and development is viewed as an even, well-balanced progression across social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative domains. Play is emphasized as the most important tool for learning and development, with the belief that 'play builds brains.' The curriculum is child-interest based with classrooms set up to promote exploration through hands-on, interactive experiences.
