My twins have had a great experience at the Peppermint Tree. This is their first experience in a school setting and I feel they have adjusted very well due to the support and encouragement provided by the school staff. I recommend all local families to consider this school for enrichment and adjustment before attending Kindergarten. Added activities such as dance and soccer add an already fabulous experience to the day! – Lauren Brunda
Both of My Sons Love the School
Peppermint Tree offers an excellent preschool experience for all children. The staff is caring and offers a child-friendly program that encourages parent-teacher interactions. Both of my sons love the school and the activities and have demonstrated verbal, social, and educational growth. As a parent and teacher, I am very pleased with Peppermint Tree. In fact, I attended preschool there as a child too! – Karen Golle
My Daughter Loves Going to School!
My daughter loves going to school, and my wife and I are very happy with the educational experience she receives at Peppermint Tree. Definitely the best school in Toms River for early learning. -Dave Lansing
Great Little School for Little People!
Peppermint Tree is a great little school for little people! The staff is patient, caring, educated, and experienced. The classrooms are spotless. When the weather allows, the playground provides ample space for the children to run, play, and learn. Peppermint Tree is a child-centered community that teaches all of the skills necessary for kindergarten. Their parent meetings and family activities demonstrate the importance of the connection between school and family. Thank you, Peppermint Tree, for caring for my daughter and teaching her values, as well as academics. ~Tracy Taylor
Safe Nurturing Environment
The staff at Peppermint Tree are committed to the intellectual, social and emotional growth of each child. The school provides a learning environment that fosters cooperation and builds positive relationships. Children learn about other cultures, animals, and plants in addition to reading and math skills. More importantly, I leave each morning knowing my child is in a safe, nurturing environment where she feels loved. We cannot thank Ms. Val and her entire staff enough for all they do and HIGHLY recommend this school. It’s simply THE BEST! – Shawn Shumbris
Improved Vocabulary
Prior to this year, my daughter attended another preschool. Just in this one year at Peppermint Tree I see a world of difference in her vocabulary and letter writing/recognition. I would recommend this school to anyone! I feel confident knowing my daughter will be ready for kindergarten when that time comes thanks to Peppermint Tree.

Our Chicks are Hatching!
Please stop in to Mrs. Sullivan’s class to see them. The children are so excited! They will be going back to the farm on Friday, so be sure to get a peek at them before then.
We have been tending 12 eggs in an incubator, brought to us by a farmer who showed us a live chicken and explained what we would be seeing. And now…we have baby chicks!!!
