“I love coming to Childcare. Here I get to play with kids from all over the school!”
- Student, 9 years old

The Peninsula School Childcare Program is thrilled to welcome you! Peninsula School offers year-round, before and after school Childcare programs for all children enrolled at Peninsula School. Based on your child’s age, they will attend either our Nursery or K-8 Childcare Program.

Peninsula’s Childcare program is play based, and aims to strengthen children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development through play, student choice, and social connections with peers and caring adults. Each year the program is hosted in one of our classrooms and outdoor play spaces. Kids of all ages play together, build forts, climb trees, play ball, read, rest, play board games and more. Outdoor time allows for nature exploration and imagination to bloom.
