Little Pirates Preschool
Our highly-qualified teachers use the Orton Gillingham methodology and all five pillars of literacy-plus language comprehension to drive measurable gains for all students. Our programs are located within our elementary schools to give our youngest learners exposure to the elementary school setting. In addition, our preschool teachers work closely with our K-2 teachers to help students prepare for their next step, kindergarten!

In addition to the online forms, the child's birth certificate, a doctor-signed health appraisal (screen shots of patient portals are not accepted), and a current immunization record must be turned into the Community Education Office by emailing khultgren@pinckneypirates.org. Failure to submit these forms may cause you to lose your spot within the program.
