our program is based on a balance of best practices.
-
EARLY ACADEMICS
Children engage in early academics both indoors and outdoors through hands-on, discovery-based learning, and they graduate PreK confident and eager to learn at higher levels, as evidenced by our 4-Star rating from Grow New Jersey Kids.
-
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING
Children cultivate their emotional intelligence by learning about themselves, identifying their emotions, and understanding how to self-regulate. We problem-solve, practice safety, celebrate kindness, nurture respect, and create friendships.
-
CONNECTING WITH NATURE
Children connect with nature through extended time to play on our park-like grounds and explore their five senses in our bountiful gardens. Our outdoor classroom sparks their joy for learning and they follow their curiosity through our outdoor centers.
-
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
We welcome our families to create community by participating in our classroom activities and celebrations and inviting their input and ideas. We and support social connections through or Parent Group meetings and our Peppermint Tree family and community events.
At Peppermint Tree, children learn and play, both inside and outside.
