We absolutely love Pillars and couldn’t be happier with our experience! The facility is always incredibly clean, organized and well-structured.
A special thank you to Ms. Valerie, who truly treats every child as if they were her own. Her patience and genuine love for the kids shine through in everything she does. It’s clear that she is passionate about helping each child grow and thrive.
Since joining the toddler class Ellie has learned so much! We were amazed when she started using basic sign language shortly after moving into the class! Her vocabulary, social skills, and independence have continued to blossom.
Knowing that Ellie is so happy and well cared for gives us incredible peace of mind. We are so grateful for the wonderful teachers and staff and fully plan on staying here until she heads off to kindergarten. We highly recommend Pillars to any family looking for a loving, structured, and enriching environment for their child!

we were new to the area, moved from out of state and didn’t know what our childcare plan would be - we are SO thrilled we found The Pillars Mountain Peak! The staff has been so sweet and we’ve found consistent support and love from the toddler classroom teachers! They truly love our son and everyone greets him by name each day we come and go! We love the cameras to be able to see him from the lobby and know he’s well cared for! They have a great outdoor setup for playing, he loves the water Wednesdays in the summer and truly it has been such a wonderful fit for us! Highly recommend!

We have been with the Pillars for 6 months now and they are amazing! My little one loves Ms. Vivian, Ms Raegan, and Ms Kat and I can truly tell they enjoy taking care of my sweet boy (even when he can be a little stinker) ! The one time I had an issue they were quick to step in and get the issue resolved which was very appreciated. Great school and love all the cute things they do with the kids! ❤️

My daughter started here about 3 weeks ago in the Toddler 2 class. She loves it! She’s always so excited to go. In the short time we’ve been there, I’ve already noticed an increase in her speech and social development. I was so hesitant to send her somewhere but so glad we found The Pillars!

We love The Pillars! Our son is in the infant class at Mountain Peak and is thriving! The transition to daycare when they are little can be hard on parents but his teachers made it so seamless. When we drop him off everyday we know he’s going to be loved and well taken care of. He has so much fun learning and playing with friends. We knew we wanted to send him somewhere that was Christ centered and we couldn’t have made a better choice!
