Hello,
Welcome to our center!
At Peppermint Patty's, we believe that children should be exposed to hands-on activities throughout the day. Learning starts with that first small step, taken with confidence and pride. Along the way, our children are instilled with social graces, discipline, respect for themselves, the environment, and the center.

Cultivating an infant's curiosity creates active learners. Infant care is an important first step to reaching developmental milestones. Our caring and qualified staff give each child the individual care that each child requires to meet their changing needs. Feeding, napping, and interacting with teachers and peers is vital to a child's emerging social development. Daily parent communication through our engagement app is also an essential part of an infant's day,

Every toddler is unique. The most appropriate care occurs in an environment that feels like home where children are free to explore and teachers encourage their emerging interests. Using the five senses is the most natural way for toddlers to learn.
Our toddler program provides choices while supporting curiosity.

We recognize that children learn about their world primarily through exploration and play. Through exploration and play, children gain opportunities to understand concepts, solve problems, develop creativity, practice motor skills, gain self confidence, develop relationships, and improve communication skills. Since children are naturally curious and have an innate love of learning, we design our day to encourage this motivation to learn and develop in a self-directed manner.
