ABOUT US
At Peapod Learning Center, we believe childhood is best nurtured in harmony with nature. Our curriculum is rooted in hands-on, outdoor experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
We believe children thrive through meaningful play, not screens. Every day is filled with opportunities to climb, create, explore, and imagine — giving children the space to develop naturally, with the world as their classroom.
Through a balance of structured exploration and child-led discovery, your child will build confidence, independence, and meaningful connections to the world around them.

HAPPY KIDS,
HAPPY PARENTS
“When we first started attending after previously dealing with an awful daycare, the staff demonstrated how childcare is supposed to work. A true focus on the well-being of the children, a prioritization of their education, good healthy food and an actual plan to jumpstart the kid’s learning to get them ready for school. Thanks again guys, you did a great job.”

“Their whole philosophy that nature is learning and Love & Logic parenting has worked so well for my child. They helped potty train my child and kept me up to date on her progress. They do yoga and deep breathing techniques. My child is able to describe her emotions to me because she is taught to recognize when she is happy and sad at Peapod – this is everything. They are literally helping me raise my child in the manner I want her brought up. Yes, they are pricy but it’s worth the cost to me. This is the ONLY daycare in town that felt warm and homey yet educational.”

“My daughter went to Peapod from ages 1-3 and we absolutely loved our experience with them. The staff are all very friendly and genuinely seem to care about the kids they care for. They give regular developmental updates and ask if there’s anything I want them to work on with my daughter. My daughter loves coming to Peapod and gets excited about it!”

WHY PEAPOD?
Rooted in Connection
Every classroom is built on the foundation of Conscious Discipline — fostering empathy, emotional intelligence, and respectful relationships between children and teachers.
Learning Through Discovery
We use the Project Construct curriculum, a play-based, hands-on approach that encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
Nature-Inspired Environment
Peapod classrooms and outdoor spaces invite exploration, sensory play, and connection with nature — helping children learn from the world around them.
Individualized Care & Attention
Our teachers meet children where they are developmentally, nurturing growth at their own pace in a supportive, family-like atmosphere.
Highly Qualified Teachers
Peapod staff are not only educated and experienced — they’re passionate about early childhood development and creating a safe, nurturing environment every day.
Social & Emotional Growth Comes First
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, connected, and valued. Every moment — from playtime to conflict resolution — is an opportunity to build life skills.
Family Partnerships
We work closely with families through open communication, shared goals, and ongoing support — because we’re all part of your child’s growth journey.
