School Readiness

We are located in the Pine City Elementary building at door number 5.

Our program specializes in fostering the growth of the whole child. We place a lot of importance on social emotional learning. We use many resources to train our staff in multiples areas of child development. Our Staff implements the Pyramid Model and Second Step to teach children how to name their feelings, calm their bodies, and find solutions to problems.

The educational curriculum we use is called Creative Curriculum. We monitor student growth through T.S. Gold Assessment tool.

We also collaborate with Head Start to offer programming. Please contact Lakes and Pines at 320-674-0012 to complete an intake.
