Rooted in Nature

We are committed to providing the highest quality early education for children ages 18 months to 6 years.

Pine Grove School was founded in 1985, determined to create an educational community where children could learn at their own pace, develop confidence, and be known deeply by their teachers.

Our Montessori classrooms are prepared with care so children can make purposeful choices, practice practical life skills, work with beautiful materials, and grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

Guided by Curiosity

Small classrooms. Big wonder.

Children at Pine Grove build a strong connection through a community that values respect, independence, joy, and meaningful work.

Our lead guides are Montessori trained, supporting each child with careful observation, intentional lessons, and a deep respect for the pace of individual development.

Montessori

Prepared environments for confident, capable children.

In a Montessori classroom, children learn through movement, repetition, observation, and choice. Teachers guide each child with respect, offering lessons when the moment is right and allowing time for focus, discovery, and mastery.

Multi-age classrooms give younger children daily models to learn from and older children meaningful chances to lead, mentor, and deepen their confidence.

  • Practical life work that builds concentration and independence

  • Spanish, peace, art, history, and cultural studies integrated into the prepared environment
