"Miss Jan", as she is called, has a genuine love of children. She provides children with a FUN filled day and parents with PEACE OF MIND.
Our students are beautiful, bright, kind, thoughtful and always willing to share (Well most of the time!). They have respect for themselves and others. They pride themselves on becoming more independant each day. They play in a peaceful, non-violent manner. They strive to be honest and courteous. Your child will fit right in!
We enroll a maximum of 12 children. The children range in age 2 to 5 years of age. In this way, we function much like a family. The older children are helpful to the younger children. The younger children learn from the older child's example.
( Also, they do not have to be potty trained!)
We have very small group sizes so that your child will receive individual attention. Our small group has a ratio of 6 children to 1 adult. Our large group has a ratio of 7-12 children to 2 adults.
Our STAFF at Peek-A-Boo Preschool are chosen for their love of children and their ability to relate well with young children.
Our staff is extremely talented, nurturing and patient. They receive hundreds of hours of on the job training during the course of a year. They guide the children through a fun filled day and have a lot of fun in the process!
