Margaret Mole: 3-4 year olds

As our little ones gain independence and confidence, they move into our 3’s class. Named for one of our mascots, Margaret the Mole, this class focuses on choice, will, and independence. Our days are filled with developmentally appropriate activities that stretch the minds of our little learners and introduce them to concepts that they will continue to build upon throughout preschool and beyond.

Kendi Kangaroo: 4 year olds

Our 4 year olds begin to lengthen their school day as they prepare for pre-k. In this class, we focus on social and emotional learning and peer scaffolding. We begin to explore how we can learn from our friends, and how we can communicate how we feel. We will also dive into academics that are designed to prepare students for pre-kindergarten, while instilling a lifelong love of learning.

Oswald Owl - Pre-k (TK): 4-5 year olds

In this class, we work on the forms and functions of pre-academics, while developing a strong sense of self. We ask and answer questions about who we are as learners, how we can learn more, and what we know about pre-academics.

  • Ages: 4 - 5 years

  • Days: Monday - Friday

Congrats to our 2025 Grads!

Congratulations to our Peekadoodle class of 2024-2025! Our Pre-K class, the Oswald Owls, had an incredible admission season. All of our students applying to private independent schools received offers to their first choice schools, with several students receiving multiple offers. See below for the full list of schools our students were accepted into for Fall 2025. Orange asterisks note where our students are attending in the Fall. Since 2018, all of our children have received their first or second choice placement in private independent schools, with several of our families opting for public. View our past placements below!

Peekadoodle’s preschool program is the right mix of education and play. My daughter now asks for preschool on the days she doesn’t have school, which is a sign to me that she’s really enjoying it and being treated well.
