This school is the best when it comes to education and taking care of the kids. I'm a new parent that recently enrolled and I already see a difference in our child's education. Thank you. And thank you pastor Kim as well. She is the new pastor at this establishment and she is wonderful. 💕

As first-year parents at Pinecrest Presbyterian Day School, my wife and I are very happy with our experience. The teachers are caring, the environment is nurturing, and our daughter has truly blossomed both academically and socially. It’s been a wonderful start to her early education.

I have an 8 year old and 5 year old. My eldest attended Pinecrest Presbyterian from age 2 to 4. My youngest is currently attending. Pinecrest Presbyterian was been an amazing experience for my kids as well as my wife and I. PPDS felt like family from day one. The care and education they have given our children has been excellent. The staff is passionate and treat each child as their own. Both of our children learned a great amount at PPDS and are advanced among their peers. This is obviously due to the great start they got at PPDS. My wife is especially happy because she always knows the children are safe while at PPDS. I strongly recommend them for anyone. They are simply the best.
