Our Programs
The Key Elements of Pinecone Learning Approach
A Unique Home Environment
We operate in a spacious, beautifully maintained heritage home situated on a half-acre of year round green space. We offer an expansive, light-filled, and secure environment that enhances children's daily experiences.
Experiential Learning
Our educators are more than just guides—they are passionate professionals dedicated to early childhood education and committed to excellence. With a low child-to-teacher ratio, we make sure every child receives the individualized attention and guidance they deserve.
A Natural Wonderland
Our outdoor spaces are an extension of the classroom designed to maximize time in nature. Featuring an apple orchard, secret garden, 400-square-foot sandbox with beach sand, and expansive grassy areas, children can explore and play freely year-round.
Wholesome Nutrition
Our commitment to providing nutritious, high-quality meals and snacks goes beyond standard offerings. We focus on fresh, wholesome foods that support the health and well-being of the children in our care.
Community and Family Collaboration
We designed an experience to support every aspect of a child’s development, creating a seamless connection between your home and Pinecone. Our staff and educators become a second family, working closely with parents to foster a strong sense of community and ensure each child feels nurtured and supported.
