 We are a licensed childcare center providing care for infants and toddlers.

To meet the ever-increasing demand by our parents at our sister school on 519 Guy Dr.for quality infant toddler care, we opened this location at 2202 Saulsbury Dr.

Our center has been operating at this location for the past year. We were built with five classrooms and two playgrounds in order to provide a small, loving environment for your child to learn and grow. 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 Toddler curriculum is based on the CIRCLE Preschool Early Language and Literacy Training Program.  Along with the Belton Independent School District we teach the children to learn and play in a center based classroom.  Classroom management is also a very important part of this program.  Everything in the classrooms must be labeled with the objects’ name and picture in order to enhance word recognition.  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. 

 Our infant curriculum is centered on exploratory learning.  Each classroom is filled with age appropriate equipment that fosters the development of each child.  The infants are allowed to explore their surrounding as they learn through play.  They are taught baby signs starting in Room 1.  We feel that is a very important part of our curriculum as it aides in the communication between the child and their caregiver.  Some of the most basic signs that are taught are “more”, “milk”, “eat”, and “all done.”

 To enhance our curriculum we offer Spanish twice a week.  The children are taught basic Spanish vocabulary through songs and games.  When children are exposed to this at a young age, it makes it easier for them to learn a second language later in life.  Our parents are happy that their children are allowed to experience this extra curricular activity while at The Peanut Gallery.

 We look forward to showing you around our center which will give you the opportunity to experience our children in action as they enjoy their day at The Peanut Gallery.

Please give us a call to arrange for a visit at (254) 899-9200. 

 Thank you,

Lynette Yarbrough
