Peppermint Pre-School

We have had an amazing experience at Peppermint Preschool with both of our children! After our son’s wonderful experience there, we couldn’t wait for our daughter to attend. Ms. Tara’s 3’s class has been the perfect start to her academic journey! She absolutely loves going to school each day to spend time with her friends. The engaging activities in class - like creative arts, hands-on learning, games, songs, and other activities - make every day special and enriching. The early care option is a great flexible option for our family too. We are so grateful for the warm and nurturing environment at Peppermint Preschool and highly recommend it to anyone!

When it was time to start considering preschool for our now 4 year old daughter, there was no question about where we would send her. Having attended Peppermint myself, as well as my siblings, I knew this was the perfect place to send her. Peppermint Preschool has been the best starting point for our daughter's academic career. She started last year in Ms. Tara's 3's class and is now in Ms. Amanda's 4's class! She has learned so much these past two years and is always so excited about what activities they get to do during the day! She is always eager to go to school and we feel so lucky that she has a safe space to learn and grow. She has come such a long way since starting last year and has made so many new friends. We love everything about Peppermint and cannot wait to send our 2 year old there as well! We recommend Peppermint Preschool to everyone!

Out daughter has had experience both in the Monday, Wednesday, Friday 3's class and the Almost Kindergarten class, and our son is currently enrolled in the MWF 3's class. Both absolutely LOVE Peppermint Preschool! All of the staff are amazing and truly make sending your little ones to school for the first time much easier! We know our kids are being nurtured, loved, and given a wonderful education while also having fun! As parents who have never had to utilize daycare/babysitters, we have never once felt anxious leaving our kids with any of the teachers here. The atmosphere is one of a kind and you can 100% feel the love once you enter the building. We always tell friends and family how much we love it here at Peppermint and are beyond thankful for such a safe, loving environment for our children.

When it comes to sending your kids to school for the first time, it can be scary both for the kids and the parents. Our son has thrived in the 3's pre-k program at Peppermint Preschool! Coming from a "stay at home" situation, we were apprehensive about sending him to school. We are so happy we did! He's not only learned valuable skills in identifying numbers, letters, reading his name etc. He has also grown socially and emotionally. The teachers at Peppermint are all very kind, educated and caring and create a nurturing environment for our children to grow and feel safe. The teachers are not only excellent in making the children feel comfortable but also the parents. They always stay connected with the parents daily. We not only plan on keeping our son through their Almost Kindergarten program but plan to send our other children here as well!

Peppermint Preschool has been the perfect place for our little ones to learn and grow. The staff and teachers are very well qualified, attentive, helpful, and always available to answer questions about the program, our child’s development and learning experience, or to address any concerns we have about our kids. They make learning and safety their top priorities and always strive to communicate events and information to parents throughout the year. The school has recent improvements to their playground and property along with safety protocols in place to ensure all kids are able to grow and learn in a safe and healthy environment. Parents can rest easy knowing their little ones will be safe and well taken care of while at school. The teachers and staff have been absolutely great with our kids! Our five year old son attended Peppermint for two years prior to Kindergarten at Highland Primary. Mrs. Elaine, Mrs. Tara, and Mrs. Karen along with their in-classroom assistants and staff really made sure our son was set up for success in Kindergarten. Our three year old daughter is currently attending Peppermint Preschool. She is doing really well, following in her brother’s footsteps, and always learning something new. The staff have been especially helpful during difficult drop-off days when saying goodbye to mommy or daddy is hard. Their efforts and styles of teaching have allowed our kids to learn, grow, and really see school as something enjoyable and fun while still challenging them in appropriate ways to prepare them for the structured (all-day) environment of “big kid” school. We absolutely will be sending our two year old daughter when she is old enough and with one more on the way it is nice to know the amazing teachers and staff at Peppermint Preschool will be there for us and our kids when it is time them to go to school as well.
