At Peek-A-Bears our goal is to meet your family's needs, and exceed your expectations. Your child's development, safety, and happiness are our top priorities, and our dedication to these priorities is obvious in everything we do. When you enroll at Peek-A-Bears, we invite you to be a part of our family of Peek-A-Bears! We are committed to your child's care and education.
We pride ourselves on making children feel valued and good about themselves. By using books, puzzles, music and singing together, we enhance their learning experiences. We understand that care and education are equally important, interdependent facets of early childhood, so we give equal attention to both.
Our skill-building, structured curriculum is also play-based, age-appropriate, and lots of fun. Our approach is learning through play and we take great care to plan activities on a daily, weekly and monthly basis — therefore ensuring that your child will benefit from high quality day care, even for short stays.
Our location is spotless, secure and safe, and creatively child-friendly. Our priority is to ensure that our parents can have peace of mind while they are at work. Your child's safety comes first, and we will not have anyone other than yourself, or whomever you assign, collect your child from Peek-A-Bears.
