Pine Street Pre-K

At The First School, we believe that every child is unique and deserves a nurturing environment that fosters their growth and development. Our mission is to cultivate the whole-child - social, emotional, physical, and intellectual - allowing each child to reach their highest potential on their own timeline. We strive to create a warm, relaxed, and supportive atmosphere where families, as well as children, thrive.

Our Philosophy

Our daily goal is to make every child feel safe, inspired, and loved. We achieve this by providing a relationship-based, developmental preschool program that celebrates individuality and diversity. Our experienced and passionate staff are dedicated to inspiring children to learn through play and meaningful activities, guided by our unique preschool curriculum.

Our Services

We offer a range of programs designed for children aged 16 months to five years. Our programs include:

• Toddler Groups: Designed for children aged 16 months to 2.5 years, our toddler groups focus on socialization, emotional development, and cognitive growth through play-based activities.
• Preschool Year 1: Our preschool program for 2.5- to 3.5-year-olds focuses on social-emotional learning, creativity, and language development.
• Preschool Year 2: Our preschool program for 3.5- to 4.5-year-olds builds on the foundations established in Preschool Year 1, emphasizing more complex social interactions and problem-solving skills.
• Transitional Kindergarten: Our transitional kindergarten program for 4- to 5-year-olds prepares children for kindergarten, focusing on literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning.
