Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool & Kindergarten is an active community of teachers and parents dedicated to raising competent, creative, and caring children. Established in 1994, Pinnacle offers an educational program based on best practices in early childhood education and development. Inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), we believe that young children are creative and competent learners, capable of engaging fully with new concepts, building friendships, respect for others and advocating for one’s needs and ideas.

We are committed to hiring, developing and supporting the very best early childhood educators. We believe that children excel when they construct their own knowledge through investigation and play. Teachers and children research and co-construct knowledge together in small groups, fostering curiosity, building early literacy and numeracy skills, and encouraging each child to experience success, to develop a positive image of themselves, and the world around them. When learning is the product of the child’s guided construction rather than simply the teacher’s transmission and the child’s absorption, learning becomes individualized. This personalized approach helps to ensure that children finish preschool ready for kindergarten intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially – with the confidence to become talented life-long learners.
