To me as a parent, that says something. He enjoyed it SOOO much! Thank you to the staff who helped my child thrive. We ended up moving so we had to disenroll. But If it was up to me I'd 100% put him and my daughter back in LSM. All the activities they would do and daily pictures helped me during the height of the pandemic. I really appreciate them. I would recommend taking your children here. Plus, it was competitive when it came to the value and pricing!

My son came to Peppermint Junction from an in home daycare to Pre-k. With Ms. Lory's loving and gentle approach, he adapted quickly and loves going to school. He is currently in T-k with Ms. Kelly and he blossomed to be communicative, thoughtful, understanding of what is being asked of him and the expectations. All teachers work incredibly well together and their number one priority is the children, ensuring they are feeling secure mentally, socially, and physically. If you ever have questions about how and why certain things are done, the teachers are more than happy to explain and work collaboratively with the parents. I can't say enough good things about the experiences I have had at Peppermint Junction and the caring staff/owner. I can't put a price on piece of mind knowing that my child is safe and happy while learning. Thank you all at Peppermint Junction for your hard work, you truly make a difference.

My daughter also enjoyed her time here. I loved that her speech improved while attention peppermint. I felt the establishment was safe and well equipped for my babies. They also had no complaints or code violations when I looked them up so it made me feel at ease. Honestly it was one of the best rated schools in the Oxnard area. I was hesitant as my kids have attended mostly Montessori but after a few weeks I was sure this was a great decision. We unfortunately moved out of the area but if we hadn't our kids would 100% still be going here! Thank you so much Ms. Melanie, Ms. Corrina and Ms. Helen for everything! We will miss you ladies.

I can't say enough great things about Growing Minds Daycare! My child has been there since the very…read morebeginning, and it has been the only daycare I've used. I couldn't be happier with the care, love, and support they provide. The communication is amazing, the teachers and staff are wonderful, and they truly make you feel comfortable and confident leaving your child in their care.

They are so different from other local pre-schools. They really get the children thinking early on. They put on plays, go on educational field trips and even have their own amazing art teacher who allows the children to just create. I really enjoyed working in the class. I got to know the other students well too. I was able to bring share some of my own ideas too which was fun. When my boys reached kindergarten they were so prepared for it. And I have to say the La Famiglia alumi I am still in touch with (about 10) are all thriving in school and are some of the most confident children in their classes. I couldn't recommend this school more highly. La Famiglia is aptly named. It really does feel like a family.

The other parent was…read moreone of the teachers who worked at the school and made the times I was to pick up my daughter very stressful. I belong to the LGBT community and was being harassed at Noah's Ark because of this. At first I didn't have anything against the school, I knew that it was just me and the other parent not getting along. I talked to the principal and made a formal complaint against this teacher, the other parent. We agreed that it would be in everybody's best interest if the other parent was not present in the classroom when it was my time to pick up my daughter. However, later on in a court hearing, a letter that the principal had written stating "no incidents have been brought to my attention regarding poor exchanges" had been used against me. I quickly contacted the principal and reminded her that I had made a formal complaint not too long back. She had forgotten. I asked for a copy of the complaint I had made for evidence. She told me that the file was private and that I could not receive a copy. I tried diplomatically to resolve a serious problem at Noah's Ark and was told that we could make peace just to be back-stabbed later at a time when it mattered a great deal.
