Pineapple Cove Academy's principle goal is to dedicate ourselves
to providing a safe, secure and encouraging environment for the
healthy growth, development, and education of each and every child.
Along with the instruction there must be a balance of fun and
play time.

We provide a nurturing and challenging atmosphere
where children are motivated to learn through hands-on opportunities
which build self-confidence, and encourage children to become
creative thinkers. We understand that the parents and family unit
are the greatest influence in a child’s life. We are committed
to working closely with parents and family to provide the best
plan for your childs learning and development. This provider and
parent/family communication forms what we call the Pineapple Parent
Action Team (P.A.T.).

Family Communication & Partnership
|
We know it takes families, teachers, and our management team
working together to provide the ultimate in quality care and education
for these future Pineapple leaders who come through our front
door. School owners, Directors, Assistant Directors, and Teachers
are available to families every day. We value the parents’
input, support, and your confidence in us. We encourage you to
partner with us in a variety of ways. Become involved; read our
lesson plans, parent newsletter, become a Parent Action Team (P.A.T.)
member and join us at Pineapple Cove Academy special events.
Pineapple Cove Owners, administrative team, and teachers are proud
of our commitment to families and our community. We participate
in local sponsorship and charitable organizations. Children learn
about the significance of giving and being a part of their community.
A working partnership must be just that - working together in
every possible way. Effective communication is essential to the
smooth functioning and well being as a community of families.
Pineapple Cove Academy has an "Open Door" policy and
we encourage you to visit at any time. Here are reasons why Pineapple
Cove Academy should be your choice for your child.
- Daily Activity Reports go home everyday for each child age
three years and under. Teachers provide insight into meal times,
changing time, curriculum highlights, and even notes about memorable
moments.
- Portfolios are assembled for each child. Teachers include
art projects, writing samples, pictures and progress reports.
- Joining home and school is a great way for families to support
the teachers in their children’s education and well being.
Become a member or volunteer at a special event and have lots
of fun!
- Open Houses during Pineapple Cove special events provide
a special opportunity for families to get together and participate
in games and activities together.
- School Newsletter and calendars are distributed each month
by Pineapple Administrative team.
- Teacher-parent conferences are held twice yearly, keeping
you informed of your child’s progress. However, you may
schedule a conference at anytime. You are encouraged to speak
to your child’s teacher as frequently as possible.
Another primary goal of Pineapple Cove Academy is to provide
a safe environment for children and to instill parents with a
sense of security while their children are in our care. We take
this commitment seriously and have systems in place to ensure
this goal is carried out. Our children are never left unattended
or unsupervised while in the care of Pineapple Cove Academy staff
and management team.
Classrooms, playgrounds, and common areas are equipped with closed
circuit cameras to allow constant monitoring by parents and management.
There is immediate phone access in the building at all times.
Every classroom phone prominently displays all emergency contact
numbers. The entry of PCA is equipped with a magnetic lock and
coded key pad for added security. Owner or management team is
centrally located to screen visitors upon arrival. A fence surrounds
our entire playground and gates remain secured.
Our entire staff is First Aid/CPR certified and trained in Fire
Safety. Fire drills are conducted monthly and severe weather drills
are conducted quarterly.

Community involvement is very important to us at Pineapple Cove
Academy. We feel as though childhood is an adventure that should
be celebrated in every possible juncture. That is the reason we
love to celebrate special events in a big way. Throughout the
year, you can find Pineapple Cove Academy transformed into a Pineapple
Palace, Valentine’s Dance Hall, or even a snowy Winter Wonderland.
Every September we kick off our school year literacy program with
our beloved Fairy Tale Ball. The whole school is transformed into
the magical Pineapple Palace as we share our passion for fairy
tales with our children. This incredible event is just the beginning!!!
Throughout the year we offer so many other ways for our children
to learn through tangible experiences and worldly discoveries.
Through our annual Winter Wonderland we are able to donate more
than 200 toys and books to local charitable organizations. This
process of giving is so meaningful in teaching our children the
invaluable concept of sharing.
Join us anytime for one of these fun-filled affairs. We love to
share with our community and always enjoy meeting new friends.
Pineapple Cove Academy has been fortunate to build many business
partnerships. We would like to take the time to mention these
businesses and recognize them as a valued part of our professional
family.
