The teachers at Pinecrest Presbyterian Day School are Early Childhood Specialists!

They are dedicated, professional, and eager to teach young children. Our staff provide a loving, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children and are committed to the education and well-being of your child.

Our staff share a philosophy that believes children gain the most knowledge through engaging in hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities centered around their interests. All of our staff are experienced, dedicated educators with compassion, talent, energy, and a strong commitment to our children.

Many of our staff members have been part of the PPDS team for over 15 years.

We are accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year!
