About Our Team
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
A preschool is more than just a place where children are taken care of. Our teachers understand early childhood education and the development of children. The staff will use their knowledge and skill sets to teach the curriculum used in the preschool. We believe that children learn best through play. The curriculum used at The Preschool In The Pines will be play and themed base with separate learning centers throughout.
Each classroom is staffed with 2 experienced teachers. This allows each child more individual learning time, making each experience loving, personal, and a whole a lot of fun.

Hi, I am Mrs. P (Shay Piemonte). I am thrilled to be teaching the 2-year-old class this year. My family and I moved to Seven Lakes last year after my husband retired from the Marine Corps. We absolutely love it here. We have 3 daughters. Our oldest will be a senior in high school and our twins will be sophmores. This will be my thirteenth-year teaching. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from the State University of New York at Cortland and my teaching license is from East Carolina University. I have taught in both the public and private school systems in North Carolina. I am looking forward to an amazing year teaching your little ones.

Ms. Theresia
Welcome Preschool In The Pines families! Preschool is an excellent way to acclimate children to elementary school. In preschool they learn invaluable skills such as taking turns, being cooperative and listening, I have been a preschool teacher for over 12 years in Moore County. I have always enjoyed working with children and I am passionate about teaching. I have two grown sons and I'm a step mom to 7 and 8 year old girls. Before preschool I owned an antique store and lived on Martha's Vineyard. I am looking forward to a fun year with lots of giggles and new friends.
