"Teaching Respect - Building Independence"
"Fostering Self-Motivation - Encouraging Self-Discipline"

Pine Grove School is a developmental, discovery-oriented preschool and kindergarten dedicated to peace and to teaching respectful ways of resolving conflict. We are deeply committed to individualized, child-centered learning and believe that young children learn best when they are stimulated to explore a rich array of hands-on materials at their own pace.

Our philosophy is based on the principles of Maria Montessori who believed that children are naturally curious and when given the opportunity to explore their own interests, they more readily internalize the concepts.
