A San Francisco Preschool with a Balanced Approach to Learning, Starting at 20 Months
Peekadoodle offers a variety of educational and developmentally appropriate programs for toddlers and preschoolers. Our curriculum centers on the whole child through creating a balance of both guided exploration and learning through play.
We are inspired and influenced by leading Early Childhood philosophies to create a diverse, layered, and meaningful opportunity to engage in learning across all disciplines. Pulling from the practices of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, play based learning, and the developmental continuum, our philosophy creates opportunities to stretch but not stress the young learner.
Music and art are led by specialists while our classroom teachers provide rich experiential lessons that scaffold as children progress through our program. With a dedicated, caring team and a custom-designed campus, our school creates a warm and welcoming environment to build a community.
“Peekadoodle Academy is one of San Francisco’s hidden gems of preschools. By balancing play-based learning with academics, Peekadoodle helps students develop the social, emotional, and academic skills necessary to succeed in elementary school and beyond, all while retaining its warm, sweet, and loving culture.”
