Preschool Open House and Registration

Typically, the Peabody Preschool has accepted registrations for the following year at that same time as our kindergarten.  Due to unknown factors related to the Ames student transition, we are moving that Open House and Registration to the end of February.  Tentatively our Preschool Open House will be Tuesday, February 24th from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.  We are truly sorry for this delay and the inconvenience it has caused some families. 

Peabody offers an active array of enrichment as well as before and after school blue ribbon child care programs. 

Our Enrichment programs offer extra curricular activities for student participation after school.  

 Our award winning Panther Pride programs offer before and after school care, Kindergarten Plus (continued education after a.m. kindergarten) and Peabody Pals, our fun and exciting preschool program for children 4 .

Open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. the School-Age Programs at Peabody focus on child-centered care, which complements the school day experiences of Peabody students. Activities promote the development of healthy and age-appropriate leisure time pursuits and vary with the number, ages and interest of the participating children. Children learn to function comfortably, cooperatively and positively with one another.

A typical day includes before activities to help our children have a fun and positive start to their school day. The children can choose between the computer lab, gym or an assortment of activities in our home room. Children may bring a breakfast and milk is provided. There is a two day a week minimum enrollment required.

The Kindergarten Plus program provides curricular reinforcement, social and recreational activities for A.M. Half Day Kindergarten students. The children come to us from 11:25 - 3:10. Students may bring a lunch or purchase one from the cafeteria. There is a two day a week minimum enrollment required.

After school, planned time for transition between the regular school day and school-age care is provided through opportunities for sharing with friends and an afternoon snack. Structured activities in small groups feature arts and crafts, computer lab, homework club, cooking, science, gym and outside play and supervised free play.

We also provide a full day of care and enrichment on non-school days, such as conference and in-service days. Our summer program features reading incentives, field trips, special guests, library day and loads of fun!
