About Peter Pan Academy

Peter Pan Academy on Mecartney Road in Alameda cares for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, and we are one of three sister schools alongside Peter Pan School and Little Seeds Children's Center. Our infant rooms keep a ratio of one teacher to three babies, with ratios of 1:6 for two-year-olds and 1:7 for three-year-olds.

Our program is play-based. Each day mixes child-directed and teacher-directed activity with long stretches of free play, plus daily lessons in language arts, science, art, music and movement, math, dramatic play, sensory work and perceptual motor skills. Teachers share weekly lesson plans, and parents receive periodic child evaluations.

We are open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with full-day schedules of three, four or five days. Families pack snacks and lunch or join our chef-prepared lunch program, and enrichment visitors such as music and movement sessions and petting zoos come to campus.
