Preschool at Pinewood
Pinewood is excited to offer a preschool program for our community! As a leader in early childhood education in Clay County, we provide an engaging curriculum that nurtures the mind, soul, and imagination of young learners through hands-on experiences. Our half-day program includes a balanced schedule of circle time, learning centers, small-group instruction, playground time, and more.
Family involvement is at the heart of what makes Pinewood special. Throughout the year, parents and loved ones are invited to participate in field trips, chapel, holiday celebrations, and other special events that strengthen the connection between home and school.
