I am excited to bring my experience working with young children to the classroom. I understand that each child has their own unique learning styles. My goal is to create a learning environment where each child feels safe and confident. We will be reviewing a lot, learning even more, and of course, having tons of fun along the way!

I am thrilled to continue teaching at Peake Academy and be part of the Pre-K teaching team again this year. A busy mom of 3 (one who is a Peake alum) I love to spend time with my husband and kids. Prior to moving to Oregon over a decade ago, I worked as a school psychologist in CA with kids ranging in age from preschool to high school. After a few years at home with my kids, I have worked as a teacher’s assistant in the Preschool and Pre-K classrooms here at Peake Academy for a few years.  I am excited to work with your child and guide them along a fabulous year.

Ms. Kelley Peake 🧡 19 years
CEO / Founder

Welcome to our school! I am grateful for my extensive experience in the field of education, including a BA in Education with a focus on Early Childhood Education, and more than 25 years focused on helping to make life a little easier for today's busy families. As a working mother of three children, I not only understand the issues parents face but I live these challenges each day.

Before opening Peake Academy in 2006, I led the New Business Development initiatives for KinderCare Learning Centers, where I was responsible for generating strategic business plans for growth of new channel development within the Education marketplace and playing a major role in creating unique business opportunities for quality educational companies that include, Hooked on Phonics, Lego, Scholastic, Leap Frog, Disney, and others. Goals included creating successful programs that gave parents options for improving the amount and quality of time that they shared with their families. In addition, I played a major role on the Operations team developing new trainings for the entire company, standard operating procedures, new hire process, enrollment strategies, implementing marketing tactics, and many more operational programs used to ensure the success of programs throughout the country.

With parents placing a higher value on quality family time and seeking to achieve balance in their lives, I saw a need to improve the traditional delivery method of childcare. So, I left the executive management role behind to pursue creative ways for today's families to experience a more flexible and unique learning environment. In every offering, you will be confident that a high standard of education, quality, and happiness are at the core of what we do.  You will see the tangible evidence of our commitment to creating quality learning experiences for our students and their parents. We are committed to making a difference in the lives of the children we serve.
