Pee Wee Preschool

My daughters have been attending Pee Wee Preschool for a year-​and-​a-​half, and we have been completely pleased with our experience. It is so difficult to leave them in the care of others, and it is very comforting to know that they will be having a great time, socializing with other kids, learning, and doing lots of fun projects while I have to be away from them. Usually they don’t really want to leave when I go to pick them up, which I take as a very telling sign about how much they enjoy it! My 5 year old transitioned very nicely from the all-​day program to getting picked up from Kindergarten on the van. They did very well with our cloth diapers for my then 2 year old, and handled the transition during potty training wonderfully. I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone in Paradise!

It was a difficult and scary process trying to find the ‘right’ preschool for my daughter. At the time, she was close to turning 2 and I was looking for a place that would change diapers, but also provide some kind of curriculum for her as well. I can’t remember exactly how I found Pee Wee Preschool, but fortunately, I did. I remember meeting the Director, Kim, and how pleasant she was. I was introduced to Teacher Anna (who has the 2 – 3 year olds classroom), who seemed calm, yet firm, with the kids, which I liked. The place was clean, the playground was awesome, and the place felt like it was being run professionally and smoothly. They accepted my daughter the day she turned 2 and she’s now been going there for over a year. She’s now moved into the next teacher’s classroom (which is how they do it there, as kids go off to Kindergarten, they do a rotation where the kids enter a new classroom and progress to the next level with curriculum and creativity centered activities). My daughter has truly blossomed being there. I do not worry about her at all while I’m off at work and know she’s having a great time. She’s developed some bonding friendships while there and is happy and joyful (much hugging happens between friends) when she enters the room in the morning. Yes, she comes home sometimes ‘extremely’ dirty from playing so hard but I take it as a sign of a fun and activity filled day. Every now and then I’ll find an ‘Ouch Report’ in her cubby. This is whenever there’s been some incident (ex: she fell and hit her head against something). The teacher notes what happened and how they treated it (usually with ice and TLC they say). It’s always been very minor incidents as they do keep a good watchful eye on the kids. The staff is wonderful there too. Truly it amazes me how they keep so calm amidst the chaos of kids. The kids listen to them and follow directions. The curriculum is well-​rounded too. My daughter went through the entire alphabet last year and the creative outlet the school offers the kids is incredible. Kids get to paint with items like ice, chocolate, marshmallows, kitchen utensils, kiwi fruit, celery, etc. So it truly broadens their minds and opens them up to creativity. I felt compelled to write a review about Pee Wee because I would have loved to come upon a review such as this when I was looking around initially. I hope it helps you come closer to your decision making and finding the right place for your little one.

Best Paradise has to offer. Preschools don’t get much better than this one. I highly recommend it!
