Our mission is to nurture children, enrich parents, and strengthen community. Our school is strengthened by community involvement.
Peace Academy is a 501(c)3 and accepts all children regardless of race, s*x, religion, creed, color, national origin, or source of payment. Whether it is volunteering, donating, or spreading the word about our school, your support is invaluable to us!
A big thank you to the West Fargo Police Department K9 Unit for visiting our summer childcare students at both campuses!
We loved meeting Vito! 🐕

Do you ever find yourself thinking...
“There has to be a better way.”
A better way to connect with your child.
A better way to navigate challenging behaviors.
A better way to build relationships rooted in trust, encouragement, and connection.
If you’ve been looking for a fresh approach to parenting, teaching, coaching, or caring for kids, we’d love to invite you to join us for Nurtured Heart Approach® Certification Training Intensive, July 13-16 at Dakota Medical Foundation.
NHA isn’t about fixing kids. It’s about learning how to recognize their greatness, strengthen relationships, and create lasting positive change.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, counselor, or caregiver, this training offers practical tools and a new perspective that can transform the way you connect with others in your life.

A splash of this, a pour of that… and WOW! 🌈💧
On Wednesday, our little scientists explored color mixing today by pouring different colors of water together and discovering all the beautiful new shades they could create. Hands-on learning, curious minds, and lots of colorful fun! 🎨✨

💦 Sweet summertime!
Our school-age childcare students are having a blast this summer, making memories on field trips like pool days, park adventures, and more.
Summer is better with friends, fun, and a little sunshine. ☀️
We are still in awe from such an amazing event at The Pines! 🥹
Together, we are the heart of Peace Academy. ❤️

We are forever grateful to Joel and Debbie Peterson of JDP Electric for purchasing our building on Fiechtner Drive in 2022 and giving Peace Academy its strong roots.
This building is now called the Violet Hazel Campus, in honor of Debbie’s mother, Violet Hazel.
Joel and Debbie, thank you for your continued generosity and support! ❤️
We’re inviting special guests to share their professions with our summer childcare students!
✈️ Our first guest was Pilot Mike McLean, a Delta captain based in Minneapolis.
Each child received a trading card featuring different airplanes and a pair of pilot wings. The kids loved trying on his headset and seeing photos from the cockpit—including the Northern Lights, mountains, and volcanoes!
Mike also introduced the students to his travel buddy, Bumble, a stuffed friend who joins him on every trip.
Mike is Miss Siri’s uncle, and we’re so grateful he took the time to share his experiences and inspire our students. Thank you, Mike!
