About
Little Seeds Children’s Center and Peter Pan Schools offer daily activities that include art, science, music, movement, language arts, and free play. Children take part in dramatic play, sensory activities, and perceptual motor skills, as well as play-dough, dancing, tricycles, singing, blocks, stories, exploration, painting, cooking, puppets, and games.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
• Schedule: Open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with options for 5 full or 5 half days, 4 full days, 3 full days, and drop-in care
The program offers high-quality care and enriched educational programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarten children. It follows a philosophy of accepting children as they are and placing them in a warm and loving environment, with a curriculum based on child interests. The daily routine includes a balance of child-directed and teacher-directed activities, long periods of uninterrupted free play, and developmentally age-appropriate concepts and themes.
The mission of Little Seeds Children’s Center and Peter Pan Schools is to provide a nurturing environment where self-concepts are enhanced, independence encouraged, social skills acquired, and individuality respected. The mission also includes providing hands-on experiences in art, science, music, movement, and language arts, promoting a safe, kind, and clean environment, and developing in the child an active curiosity about the world and an enthusiasm for learning.
The program provides monthly newsletters and weekly lesson plans to parents, periodic child evaluations to show each child’s growth and development, and optional parent/teacher conferences. A fresh, daily, chef-prepared lunch program is available. Families are asked to bring two snacks and a packed lunch, or baby food if needed, as well as prepared bottles when required. Daily items that must be supplied include disposable diapers, baby wipes, a crib-size sheet, blanket, extra sets of clothes, sunscreen, and plastic bottles.
Peter Pan Schools states that all of its staff are part of the community’s extended family of caregivers and educators. The play structures and toys have been selected for children’s developmental levels and meet California State Licensing requirements. The organization includes one Little Seeds Children’s Center location in Alameda, California, and two Peter Pan locations in Alameda, California: Peter Pan Academy and Peter Pan School. The director is Julie DeMauri.
