Peabody Retirement Community’s on-campus, infant and child care programs recently underwent a State of Indiana annual survey.

According to Jeri Lehman, Program Director, “On a 100 point scale, Peabody was extremely proud to have received a 97 percent rating for our Blessed Beginnings and Kid’s Kamp programs.”

Lehman added, “Established in 1997, Peabody’s programs serve our employees and North Manchester region families. Our total capacity is 45 children ranging from infants (six weeks to one year), toddlers (one and two years old), tikes (two and three years old), pre-school (three and four years old), pre-K (four and five years old), and Kindergarten through sixth grade.”

The Peabody programs employ 11 full and part-time employees who staff the Monday through Friday services.

Lehman concluded, “During the summer months Peabody conducts Summer Kamp, which is designed for youth in Kindergarten to sixth grade. We offer crafts, intergenerational, field trips and numerous outdoor activities.”

Established in 1931, Peabody is fully licensed. The campus is comprised of a 48 bed Memory Enhancement Center, 144 long term care beds, 124 assisted living residences, and 57 cottage (independent) living homes.
