Peppermint Preschool is housed in the south wing of the Evangelical United Church of Christ in Highland. The program has classrooms for three- and four-year-old children, was founded in 1971, and operates as an independent nonprofit. The facility is licensed by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS).
The school offers both half-day and full-day options for preschool-aged children:
The curriculum emphasizes social and emotional development, gross and fine motor skills, cognitive development, receptive and expressive language, and visual and auditory development. The program follows Illinois learning standards, maintains low student-to-teacher ratios, and includes classroom activities such as music, art, literacy, math, science, dramatic play, sensory experiences and occasional field trips or guest speakers.
Staff members receive CPR and First Aid training, undergo background checks, and participate in ongoing professional development. The facility uses personal security codes for access and an indoor/outdoor camera system. The full-day program provides hot lunches prepared in the school’s kitchen and two daily snacks.
Year-round full-day preschool option that provides meals and extended hours for families who need all-day care.
A kindergarten-structured program for children who are ready for an accelerated schedule and skills practice prior to kindergarten.
Half-day classes that build on preschool skills with a focus on name writing, letter and number recognition, self-help and group participation.
Half-day classes for three-year-olds that focus on beginning skills such as color recognition, counting, basic fine motor tasks and following directions.
