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 by a parent cooperative 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.
