The center is owned by Veronica Patriz, who says she has been directly involved with children for 18 years. At Patriz Childcare, "We provide quality childcare services and educational development activities," Veronica explained, adding, "We support children in self-help skills and so much more!" She is credentialed in Early Childhood Education, and is certified in CPR and First Aid. The center is also state-licensed. The children's areas in the center are amazing! In addition to a large playroom, there is a book-filled library, an art area, an area for burgeoning writers, and an area where kids can build a castle, a battleship or a hospital--all with blocks! Matt M's son attended Patriz Childcare when he was a bit younger. "We both loved it," Matt said. "My son loved it so much he wouldn't want to leave at pickup time!" Taylor W. agreed with Matt's opinion that Patriz Childcare is a very special place, owned by a very special woman. "Veronica Patriz is one of the best caregivers I have ever known or worked with," Taylor said with enthusiasm. "I am so grateful that I was able to work with her and learn so many valuable lessons to take with me in the future!" I have to admit, I envy the children who get to go to Patriz Childcare! If I ask nicely, do you think Veronica would let me attend the center for just a little while? Probably not. I can visit, though! So can you! Come join the fun at Patriz Childcare, 538 Gill Avenue, Port Hueneme. See you there! Bon Appetit!

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.
