Philosophy

We believe that in the first six years of a child's life, over 50 percent of their personality and learning skills are developed. Peter Pan's intent is to help your child develop his/her academic and social skills through a well-planned program with consistent guidlines. The foundation of this program is based on a highly qualified, loving staff.

Discipline

Our main goal when working with the children is to make them successful. We focus on reguiding children when they are in a difficult situation. We try to divert their attention to a situation that will bring them positive experiences.

General Program

The program at Peter Pan is designed to promote the growth of skills in all areas of child development. Children are learning social skills by being a part of a group. Academic skills are introduced at each age level using a fun, hands-on learning approach. The goals for each of our age groups are built each year. Our goal is to prepare them for the larger first grade experience.

We have separate classrooms for each age group for a better learning environment. There are opportunities for inter-age grouping. However, we feel that same-age grouping fosters an environment conducive to developmentally appropriate learning.

Our Program at Peter Pan is maintained by our caring and qualified staff. We take a lot of pride in the staff that we hire. This helps provide your child with the most consistent environment, outside of his/her home. We consider the children, parents, and staff our family.

Our goal is to offer you one of the finest facilities, staff, and programs available: we want you to be proud to tell your family and friends that your child attends PPLC.

Kindergarten Program

We understand how difficult it is to accommodate a half day kindergarten program. It is for that reason that we started our Maryland State Certified Program in 1989. We provide a very comprehensive program that includes before and after school programming. The extended day allows for many small group experiences which enhances individual learning. Language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, music, and art are incorporated into each day.
