Awesome place to work during the summer. Kids go on cool field trips and swim almost every day.

Both my daughters attend School in the Pines. One is about to finish pre-k and she is more than well prepared for kindergarten next year. She has progressed so much academically and socially. School in the pines is family to our kids. They love the teachers and my youngest has decided she's taking her teachers to kindergarten with her. They are always greeted cheerfully in the morning and they look forward to going everyday. I am so thankful for the teachers and the trust I have in them.
