We have two children at Pinecrest; this is our third year there and we couldn’t be happier. Small class sizes allow the teachers to meet each child where they are, encourage their natural curiosity, and bring out the best in every one. The teachers and staff are invested in academic success as well as emotional and social progress, and we have been impressed with how well concerns and compliments are communicated throughout the year. Our kids have fun and are learning so much during the traditional school day, which is only enhanced by after-school activities and a summer camp program we look forward to every year. Pinecrest School provides so many wonderful learning opportunities in a truly nurturing environment.

Pinecrest is a wonderful school from preschool onwards. The teachers are invested in all the students and care about great teaching. The school is a true community and a lovely place for children to learn. It's a treasure for the community.
What a wonderful place to teach! For an educator, there is no environment more rewarding than one in which teachers are able to truly encourage and follow each child's natural curiosity and zest for learning. Here, I am able to truly make a difference for each child's education as I take a good, hard look at exactly where the child is and where we would like him to be. I am proud to say that Pinecrest reaches every child in our community and moves him/her forward academically, socially and emotionally. What a fantastic opportunity!
I have 2 kids at Pinecrest, the older is in her 5th year there, while the younger is in his second year. Both have thrived in the small individualized environment. While they would have done fine in the larger setting of the Public schools, they would not have the same love of learning, desire to go to school, or deeper knowledge that comes from the Pinecrest education.
We feel very involved with the school, know that the school cares about our kids as individuals, and wants to see them excel to their highest potential. We could not recommend the school more enthusiastically.

My girls love Pinecrest! It is not only a super fun learning environment, but the teachers are creative, caring, and innovative. With the small class sizes my children have opportunities to learn beyond the curriculum through drama, field trips, fun projects, and art. We love this school! The summer camp provides educational and unique classes as well. As an educator and mother it is comforting to know my children are loved and provided with a challenging, yet caring environment.
