Choosing the right early childhood education centre for your child is a significant decision. Here at Peekaboo, an international daycare, we offer a world of possibilities and unique advantages. In this blog article, we will explore the top reasons why Peekaboo is a great choice for your child's education and more. 1. A Global Curriculum
At Peekaboo, we believe in providing a global educational experience for your child. Our carefully designed curriculum integrates the best practices from around the world, ensuring that your child receives a well-rounded education. From language development to mathematics, science, and arts, our curriculum is tailored to nurture your child's natural curiosity and love for learning.
In our pursuit of providing a global educational experience for your child, we've adopted the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, a framework renowned for its comprehensive approach.
We also place great importance on nurturing your child's holistic development through fostering creative expression and physical activity. Our dedicated focus on art and movement empowers children to unlock their imagination, unearth their artistic abilities, and participate in wholesome physical endeavours. By engaging in art projects and dynamic play, we empower children to boost their self-assurance, enhance both fine and gross motor skills, and freely express themselves.
2. Multilingual and Diverse Environment
In today's interconnected world, being multilingual and being able to communicate with people from different cultures are valuable skills. At Peekaboo, we understand the importance of language acquisition at an early age. Our multicultural environment exposes children to different languages, allowing them to develop language skills effortlessly. Your child will get to learn and communicate in various languages, fostering cultural understanding and global awareness.
Peekaboo sees English as the primary language, providing children with a solid foundation for effective communication. However, our commitment extends beyond a single language. We create a rich and diverse environment where children are exposed to a multitude of languages, enabling them to develop strong communication skills across linguistic boundaries. With our multicultural team of caregivers, every child receives personalized attention, ensuring they thrive in a nurturing setting that fosters language acquisition and fluency. The different languages in our daycare between our team and students encompass a total of 18 languages, including English, Spanish, Catalan, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, and Turkish.
Diversity and cultural awareness are fundamental cornerstones of Peekaboo’s philosophy. We celebrate the richness of different cultures, traditions, and perspectives. Our goal is to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment that nurtures empathy, respect, and a profound understanding of the world we share. Through a spectrum of cross-cultural activities, we actively encourage open-mindedness and inspire a sense of global citizenship from the very beginning of a child's educational journey.
3. Personalized approach
Our team of highly qualified educators is dedicated to providing the best care and education for your child. They have extensive experience in early childhood education and are passionate about nurturing young minds. We ensure that our educators undergo continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest teaching methodologies, ensuring that your child receives the highest quality education.
At Peekaboo, we truly cherish the individuality of each child, and it forms the bedrock of our approach to their development. We take immense pride in offering a highly personalized educational experience, with an exceptional child-to-caregiver ratio of 1:4. This ensures that every child under our care enjoys the dedicated attention they rightfully deserve. Our commitment to this personalized approach allows us to cater to the unique needs, interests, and learning styles of each child. This, in turn, fosters not only their optimal growth but also the creation of deep, meaningful bonds between our caregivers and the children they nurture.
4. Emotional Intelligence Teaching
We believe in nurturing not just academic intelligence but also emotional intelligence. The emotional well-being of every child under our care is of paramount importance. Our nurturing environment is thoughtfully designed to offer a deep sense of emotional security, which in turn enables children to cultivate a robust sense of self and form positive, meaningful relationships with both their peers and caregivers. Our educators incorporate emotional intelligence teaching into daily activities and interactions, helping children develop self-awareness, empathy, and effective communication skills.

5. Safe and Stimulating Learning Environment
Your child's safety and well-being are our top priorities. We maintain a secure and stimulating learning environment that encourages exploration and creativity. Our facilities are equipped with age-appropriate toys, educational resources, and outdoor play areas (learn more about how we approach nature-based learning here), providing a well-balanced learning experience. You can have peace of mind knowing that your child is in a safe and nurturing environment.
We also wholeheartedly believe that children thrive when they are actively engaged and filled with enthusiasm for their learning journey. At Peekaboo, we've carefully crafted a child-centred, play-based approach that positions each child at the heart of their educational voyage. Through a combination of hands-on exploration, structured play, and guided discovery, our children develop vital skills such as critical thinking and creativity. Most importantly, they cultivate a lifelong passion for learning that stays with them far beyond their time with us.
6. Parental Involvement
We believe that parental involvement is crucial for a child's overall development. At Peekaboo, we encourage open communication and collaboration between parents and educators. We provide regular updates on your child's progress and organize parent-teacher meetings to discuss any concerns or questions you may have. We value your input and believe that working together creates the best possible environment for your child's growth. Read more here about how we incorporate this.
7. Additional Services
We understand that parenting comes with various needs and responsibilities. That's why Peekaboo offers additional services to support you and your child beyond education. We provide trusted nanny and babysitting services, ensuring that your child is well-cared for even outside of regular daycare hours. This flexibility allows you to balance work and personal commitments while ensuring your child's well-being. Moreover, we also organize special events and parties, creating memorable experiences for your child and their friends.
