The Pinery

We moved here from a state where there is no school of choice so I was very overwhelmed. I decided to give our neighborhood school a try because I am a strong advocate for public schools. I cannot say enough about the amazing experience we had at Mountain View. I have never felt such a strong sense of community and belonging. The PTO does a fantastic job working with the school and holds wonderful events and fundraising opportunities. The staff all truly care for the students and go above and beyond for them. My daughter did not qualify for speech but they still took extra time to work with her on the few areas she was weak in and now she is thriving! My daughter loves coming to school everyday and cries when she has to stay home sick because she misses her teacher. Academically there is no score for this school because state testing does not begin until 3rd grade and they are only K-2, but you can look up Northeast (their sister school down the road) who houses 3-5 and see how amazing the test scores are. We are so grateful for this school and community.

My son had a great preschool experience at Little Blessings. The teachers are kind, attentive, and so creative. Class size was very small. Learning is centered around units, and with each unit came all kinds of exciting, hands on opportunities to learn both academically and socially. Farm unit brought cow milking (rubber gloves filled with water), hay bale horse back riding, and a guest rodeo man. Winter time brings an ice skating rink and snow ball (cotton ball) throwing station to the room to learn physics. My son has separation anxiety but loved coming to school every day. Moving to a different school for kindergarten was a mistake. Now he sits still and quiet all day, completing worksheet after worksheet. I wish every learning experience was as hands on as Little Blessings!
