Press Release: TIMBERCREEK Celebrates Grand Re-opening 5601 Timbercreek Rd. (972) 899-2190

I just wanted to let you know how great Ms. Caitlin is doing with teaching Maddox more and more about the solar system!!  I know I had stopped and told you about it one morning on my way in, but she told me something else she learned last night that I thought I should share with you.  As we were walking out of school, she noticed the moon and said ‘there’s the moon orbiting around the earth!’  I am impressed by her daily (she’s my daughter and I should be…lol), but I’m even more impressed with the incredible teachers The Peanut Gallery has.  She learns so much more than most children her age do and I want to express my gratitude for her teachers who have worked so hard with her to teach her these things.

Have a great day!

I would like to graciously thank you all for the exceptional care and education you have given and continue to give Parker and John Carter. As they grow, they continue to constantly amaze me with not only their knowledge but with their social skills as well.  From Baby Bears to Tiny Tigers and Eager Elephants the have both grown into well rounded young boys and have been given care above and beyond what I expected when I enrolled them here. The patience, creativity, and energy that the teachers exhibit is unending and the love they feel and show towards my children is evident in everything they do! When Parker and John Carter are complimented on their behavior and intelligence I am always quick to give praise to all the staff and the curriculum at the Peanut Gallery. I want you all to know that you are deeply appreciated and want to commend you on the great job you are all doing! Again, thanks to all of you! (It does take a village to raise a child.)

What can I say about The Peanut Gallery of Spring Hill, but from the moment we walked in it felt like home. I really appreciate the sense of security I felt and feel every day I leave my babies. Coming from out of state and not knowing anyone it was very comforting to find a place that I know my children are cared for and loved. When we walk in or out of the center not only are my children always greeted by name, but so am I. Everyone on staff is aware of who is coming and going, which gives me comfort leaving my children there.

My two year old is learning new words, games, songs, and so many more things on a daily basis I can’t keep up. Fortunately for me I am given daily notes that give me a sense of the fun and fulfilling day my son has had. Every day he runs into the school happy and eager to start his day with his friends and teachers.  The Peanut Gallery not only provides a wonderful academic learning environment, but a nurturing environment where the children are learning social skills and how to get along with others.

The summer camp experience and before and after school care have provided an enriching experience for my older son Bryce. The Peanut Gallery is a center where my son feels safe and enjoys attending. After school he is provided many different activities to do to keep him busy, in a well-supervised atmosphere. He enjoys all the materials The Peanut Gallery provides to make different art projects and crafts. Many times I come to pick him up and he doesn’t want to go, which gives me a sense of comfort.

The educational experience The Peanut Gallery has provided my children has been wonderful. I would definitely recommend The Peanut Gallery to anyone looking for a safe, loving, caring, and nurturing environment for his or her children.

I still remember the first day I left my son at The Peanut Gallery. I cried walking down the hallway to go to my job; he was eight weeks old then. One teacher, Erin, actually confronted me as I started down the hallway – God Bless her! The Director, Latrina saw me crying and confronted me as well. About half an hour later that same day the Director called me and assured me my son was fine and welcomed me to call as much as I wanted.

Oh my goodness! I was fine after that moment and it’s now 2 ½ years later.

Thank you to everyone at The Peanut Gallery Galleria!

My daughter has been attending The Peanut Gallery in The Colony, TX for the last two years.  She absolutely loves going to school, I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving her there.  The staff is extremely caring and takes a personal interest in every child that really makes you feel at home.

My daughter has thrived and learned so much; the educational benefits of this day care are top notch!  When my second child was born there was no doubt in my mind that he would  join his big sister at The Peanut Gallery.  Knowing he was loved, and cared for by people I trusted eased my mind when returning to work.  Taking my children to The Peanut Gallery is the best peace of mind a mom could ask for.

We have had our children at The Peanut Gallery Early Learning Center since our oldest was an infant at the Richardson location.Today all three of our kids are enrolled at the Allen location. One is in the Summer Camp program; the next in the Preschool program and the youngest is in the Two year old program.

The management and staff really love and care for our kids. They are very attentive to the child’s needs. No request is too big and they are very helpful in our children’s development both socially, physically and mentally. We have referred friends in the area to The Peanut Gallery and they were also amazed by the quality of the facility and the staff. We are so glad that The Peanut gallery in Allen offers us a choice of quality daycare in our neighborhood for all our children.

What you want…

Quality, Caring Teachers
I want my child to be in a child care setting where my child is watched and instructed by trustworthy people who love children. They should be patient, kind and gentle. They should be trained and certified to be competent to both teach and care for my child’s safety and well-being.

Teacher/Child Ratio
I want the ratio of teacher to child to be small enough that my child receives consistent attention and supervision. I want my child to feel loved and to feel “special.”

Communication
I want to be able to talk to someone at the center/ preschool about my child at any time. I want reports on a regular basis about my child’s progress, behavior and socialization. I want the opportunity to offer feedback through an annual Parent Survey and I want to be involved with my child’s development every step of the way.

Peace of Mind
I want to feel assured that my child is safe and that the center/preschool itself poses no undue risk. The personnel must be trained to care for children. There must be rules and procedures in place to keep track of the children. I want to have peace of mind every time I leave my child.

Quality of Center/School
I want the center/school to be warm and inviting, in good repair and condition, and conducive to a good learning environment.  There should be a variety of activities to give my child a well-rounded preschool experience (learning centers, playground, library, educational toys, curriculum, arts and crafts, etc.).

Learning vs. “Just Playing”
I want a quality child care center where my child will actually learn during his or her day. I do not want a “babysitting” or “daycare” service.  There should be a detailed curriculum posted, and I want to receive reports on my child’s progress. The teachers must be trained to teach my child. I want my child to be confident and prepared for elementary school.

Health and Diet
I want the center to offer a variety of healthy foods to my child. The food should taste good, should be available periodically throughout the day, should vary day to day and should be healthy. I want my child to actually “like” the food, so that he or she will actually “eat” the food. I want my child to experience daily physical activities.

Convenience of Location
I want a center/preschool that is open year-round, with a location convenient to either my home or my work. I want access to drop in to visit my child during his or her day.
 
Before & After Hours Availability
I want a center with extended hours so that I can drop off my child early or pick him/her up late, when necessary. When my child graduates to elementary school, I want him/her to have a safe, supervised and fun place to go, before and after school, and on school breaks.

Price
I want to pay a fair, competitive amount of money for my child’s care and education. I want to be informed of all fees ahead of time so that I am not surprised by any “hidden” charges.

…is what you get at The Peanut Gallery!
