Peppermint School provides a structured, learning environment for 3-5-year old’s through a half day program. Our entire facility is licensed by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services. Hot, healthy lunches from our kitchen are provided for the children who attend our all-day program. We are equipped with a security system and cameras to keep our children and families safe. All staff are CPR and First Aid trained as well as professionally background checked. All staff continually attend professional development training to stay updated on the latest information concerning children, families, health, and educational needs.
I have had the privilege of sending 3 of my children to Peppermint Preschool. At Peppermint, my children learned to compromise in order to solve conflict, demonstrate compassion, and take pride in not only their accomplishments, but the accomplishments of their peers. The teachers and staff are professional, courteous, creative, and patient. I always feel comfortable leaving my child at school , knowing they are not only being taught age appropriate academic skills, but also are allowed to play, dance, and create! The tuition is affordable, the joy is contagious, and the memories are priceless. Enroll your child at Peppermint Preschool so they get the best start to their education!
My oldest two children started with Peppermint in the 3's class and spent two years there. The teachers there are caring and flexible, and they have exceeded my expectations in preparing my kids for kindergarten. My second child is shy and on orientation day interacted with no one. Within the first week he is making friends and talking constantly about Ms. Tara. I could not have asked for a better experience for my children.
We've trusted Wee Care with both our kids and have had nothing but great experiences there! The staff is kind and seem to really care about all of the kids. The administration is organized, proactive, and always will to hear a parent concerns or questions. It's a wonderful program overall and I would recommend it to anyone.
My family loves Wee Care and absolutely adores everyone that works with our kiddos. When we were thinking of moving to Highland, I knew we were making the right decision after speaking with the director and touring the facility. Both of my children have excelled in their program, but more importantly have been loved and well cared for by the staff. My son is in grade school now, but still likes coming with me to pick up his little sis, so he can give his favorite teacher a hug! The teachers and all they do with the kids are often a topic of conversation in our household. It's very apparent the staff at Wee Care is dong a wonderful job, so that I can do mine as a mother with a full-time career. I can't recommend the day care enough!
