Ready, Set, Learn: How We Prepare Students for Success in Kindergarten

The Coyote class at Pinnacle has raised the bar for Kindergarten. Our small class size combines an exceptionally low student ratio and qualified teachers to provide individualized attention to each child’s learning level. The Reggio-inspired approach blends best practices of early childhood with a rich exploration of materials while aligning with the Arizona Department of Education Academic Standards. Children’s knowledge is further enriched by a daily special, rotating through Spanish, Culinary Arts, Music, Atelier, and Movement (P.E.).

Here’s what parents are saying about the Coyote Kindergarten class at Pinnacle:

“Within the first month of kindergarten, we saw a huge boost in our son’s confidence, language, and social skills. The teachers and staff set such a beautiful example that radiates through the children every day. We feel incredibly blessed to be part of the founding Coyote Kindergarten class!”

“The teachers and staff have created a truly amazing classroom and an incredibly welcoming environment where our child feels safe and encouraged to thrive. Every corner of the classroom has a unique educational purpose. Our son comes home happy each day with such excitement to share all he’s learned.  We are so grateful for this loving community that celebrates his educational and personal growth!

“Our experience has exceeded every expectation—we feel so blessed to be part of the founding class.”

“We knew we wanted our child to attend kindergarten at a school with solid community support, skilled and compassionate staff, supportive families, and small class sizes. We have found all that and more with the PPPK Kindergarten Class. PPPK focuses on developing a well-rounded child, while fostering creativity and ingenuity in the classroom. The kindergarten teachers have such positive energy and draw on their extensive experience and innovative ideas to ensure the kindergarteners are cultivating their social-emotional skills as well as academic and life skills. We feel so fortunate that our son’s educational journey has been framed at this gem of a school.”
