If you are looking for an Early Childhood Development Center for your child, I can assure you to LOOK NO FURTHER! We are the parents of two children, one of which will complete her journey at Peppermint Tree in June, after being a 5-day Full Time student from Early Learners, Preschool, PreK and Summer Camp. Our other child is enrolled in the Early Learners class currently. Our children have grown tremendously throughout their time at PT, academically, socially and overall all as young people. We truly credit this establishment to so much of their success. Valerie, Director of Peppermint Tree and her staff are top notch. I could list off so many amazing things that make this center stand out, but I feel there is one thing that sticks out to us the most. Valerie, her assistant directors, teachers and assistants all LISTEN to every parent’s needs, concerns, wants and desires for their children. She really cares about each and every student that is enrolled in her program, wholeheartedly. Your child is not just a number and will always be cared for the way you would want them to be cared for when they are not under your own care. The Peppermint Tree community has left an immense impact on my family and we will always be thankful and grateful that our children spent their early childhood in this center. Thank you Peppermint Tree Staff, for all of the love throughout these important young years! ♥️
We have had a wonderful experience at Peppermint Tree this year! It was my son's first year of ever going to school and he had never attended a daycare. He was nervous to say the least. Within the first two weeks of going just a couple times a week it was like he was going to his favorite place! He has learned so much and gained so much confidence. The teachers, assistants and Miss Val have all been so lovely to him and the rest of our family. Family has been encouraged to attend many of the events throughout the school year and there is a very strong sense of community. We've had a wonderful experience and we would gladly recommend Peppermint Tree to anyone!
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Peppermint Tree. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and supported by the entire staff. Val, the director, leads with warmth and care, creating an environment where both children and parents feel at ease. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive—it’s clear how much they care about each child. Our daughter looks forward to going and is thriving in the supportive, engaging atmosphere. We’ve seen such positive growth in her confidence and communication. We couldn’t be happier with the care and education she’s receiving!
I can’t say enough good things about Peppermint Tree. My 3-year-old daughter started there this past September, and the progress she’s made—socially and cognitively—has been amazing. She’s thriving, and it’s been such a joy to watch. She loves it so much that she can’t wait to leave for school in the mornings, which says a lot about how much fun she’s having and how comfortable she feels there. As someone who has worked in early childhood education, I can confidently say that the care and attention the staff provide are truly outstanding. Everyone I’ve met through Peppermint Tree, from the teachers to the other parents, has been so friendly and welcoming. The school offers so many fun extras for the kids, and they even organize weekend gatherings for families, which has been a great way to meet other parents and help the kids build stronger connections. It’s such a warm, caring environment, and I’m so happy to be apart of this community.
What an incredible school and community. Peppermint Tree has been so welcoming to our family in our first few months we’ve been enrolled. My son is beyond excited for school every day and I’m so impressed with the level of commitment to learning, play and exploration from the whole staff. Parents are strongly encouraged to stay involved with individual classes, story time and school events. You can choose your level of involvement and that’s something I am so thankful for working full time. My son is in the PreK program and I just enrolled my daughter in the Early Learners program for the fall. We are so excited for the next few years. Highly recommend!
