Learning, Loving and Growing at Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool
Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool was established in 1995 to help children build self-confidence and a love for learning. To meet the developmental needs of young 3-year-olds, 4- and 5-year-olds we offer programs based upon the latest research and best practices in child development and early childhood education.

Preschool is an exciting time for you and your child. Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool provides a gentle and flexible environment that makes it easier for your child to grow and adapt to the many changes they are experiencing.
Each and every day is filled with interesting things to see and do. The combination of a highly interactive learning environment and personalized care helps children to learn and grow with confidence, building self-esteem to support successful learning in the years ahead.
Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool provides better student-to-teacher ratios and a more personalized approach than most preschools. Our classes have three teachers that provide a team approach to early childhood education. This personalized approach helps to ensure that children receive the help and support they need. Children finish preschool ready for kindergarten intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially. They also come away with a love for learning that will serve as a foundation for their future.
Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool is one of the first early childhood programs to earn accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals.
“We’re proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards,” said Sabrina Ball, Director of Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool. “NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible.”
Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to Early Childhood Education, our curriculum primarily emerges from the interests of, and questions posed by, the children. Teachers are considered partners in learning; providing thought–provoking and open–ended questions in order to help the children discover their own answers and information.
To earn NAEYC Accreditation in the new system, Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool went through an extensive self–study process, measuring the program and its services against the 10 new NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria. The program received NAEYC Accreditation after an on–site visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the 10 NAEYC program standards. NAEYC–accredited programs are subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts five years.
