 We are a licensed childcare facility providing care for toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. We have two locations, one at 2202 Saulsbury Drive for infants and toddlers and the other at  519 Guy Drive for two to twelve year olds. Our Before and After school programs service children from kindergarten to twelve years old. 

Our center has been operating at this location for the past seven years. We were built with eight classrooms, six playgrounds with covered play porches, a gym/cafeteria, indoor playground, a computer lab, a Spanish classroom, and a swimming pool. Playgrounds are developmentally separated so that every child can have the opportunity to play safely. 

We offer an excellent educational program for our children, over and above our weekly themes shown on our lesson plans. Our curriculum is based on the CIRCLE Preschool Early Language and Literacy Training Program.  Along with the Belton Independent School District we teach the children phonological awareness, onset rhyming, letter knowledge, written expression, and language development. Hand in hand with CIRCLE we also implement Zoo-phonics®. Zoo Phonics® uses a cast of animal characters, sounds, and body movement that directly relates to the animal and letter, allowing the children to utilize the alphabet. You will be amazed when your child can recognize letter sounds after mastering this program.  A huge advantage of The Peanut Gallery is the structured daily activities. Neighboring schools have told us that they are able to identify The Peanut Gallery children when they begin Kindergarten due to their academic abilities and general knowledge base.

 To enhance our curriculum we offer Spanish and Computers. We also offer gymnastics every Thursday taught by Colleen Dittmer. Our parents are happy that their children are allowed to experience extra curricular activities at The Peanut Gallery as it allows them to spend their evenings and weekends directly with their children so they can enjoy that much needed “family time.”

 We look forward to showing you around our facility. Please give us a call at 254-791-2900 or on the web at www.peanutgallerymini-skool.com.

 Thank you,

Andrea Potvin & Belinda Garcia
