Both my son and daughter have attended pineywoods since Kindergarten. Each child has their own difficulties in different areas. All the teachers at our school are educated on how to mentor your child as an individual and in a group setting. The children requiring more attention get it. The children that are emotionally distraut even for one day are addressed to correct the individual hurdle and succeed. The administration is an excellent venue for communication. Should you have a problem almost always it is corrected through the teacher should you have valid problems. Every situation is addressed should it have to go to a higher level. My kids love their school. They are loyal. Most of all Pineywoods offers stability on a number of different issues for children. This provides an even education that all children are entitled. I always suggest Pineywoods for their curriculum and their devotion to the children to help them SUCCEED.
