About Peekadoodle KidsClub

The hip, kid-focused design of Peekadoodle Kidsclub includes a 1,300-square-foot, multi-themed play space that replicates in miniature various neighborhoods and activities found throughout San Francisco. Children can host an imaginary tea party in a Victorian home, or take a ride on an iconic cable car. The entire play space is fully equipped with toys, furniture and decorations that reflect each play area's individual theme. A realistic replica of the Golden Gate Bridge reinforces the sense of place and provides a large-scale visual to contrast with the kid-sized chairs, tables, counters, and cooking appliances.

"Peekadoodle KidsClub was inspired by our aspirations for our own young children and by our frustrations with the lack of a premium-quality enrichment facility available to us as mothers raising children in an urban environment," said partner and co-founder Kayla Lee, a grade school teacher for almost a decade. "We wanted to develop comprehensive programs that brought together play and education in a nurturing, fun indoor environment." The club offers an extensive curriculum targeting children five years of age and younger, including spirited classes in art, theatre, music, ballet, fitness, yoga, sports, cooking and science.

All Peekadoodle KidsClub courses are taught by trained and experienced instructors and take place within one of the four designated classrooms equipped with appropriate children's furniture and decor. Peekadoodle Kidsclub also serves as the ideal venue for child-oriented gatherings such as birthday parties, holiday parties or baby showers. Each party includes food, beverages, party favors, a special present for the birthday boy or girl, a group activity led by a Peekadoodle KidsClub instructor, a possible Dreamstar Parties character appearance, invitations, thank-you notes and full access to the center's indoor playground.

Fox Chase researchers identify risk factors for the spread of breast cancer to lymph nodes

2010-11-03

SAN DIEGO, CA (November 1, 2010)—Breast cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers in women, afflicts an additional 200,000 women each year and causes about 40,000 deaths annually. The disease often extends to neighboring lymph nodes, in part, through lymphovascular invasion (LVI)—a process in which cancer cells invade blood vessels or the lymphatic system—and can often translate into a poor prognosis for patients. Some scientists argue that evidence of LVI does not necessarily mean that the disease will recur in the lymph nodes after radiation to the breast alone, but ...
