Welcome!

Pine Pals has two sites in Bemidji! 

"The Fort" is our original site, founded in 2020, and a partnership with GoldPine Home Assisted Living. This site includes our intergenerational learning program and early care and education for children ages 6 weeks to kindergarten. We also offer a summer program for children ages kindergarten to 12 years old.

"The Nest" is our site specialized for ages 6 weeks to 33 months old - infant and toddler care. Founded in 2024 as a partnership with Sanford Health, we are always community-minded and working to meet the needs of local families.  

Both programs are state licensed by the Department of Children, Youth & Families and locally owned and operated. Our values focus on well-rounded, whole child learning that embraces nature, the arts, healthy movement, nutrition, social and emotional nourishment, family and community, and play-based pre-academics.  

Pine Pals offers a welcoming, high-quality option for your child care needs.

What we offer

You can expect expert child care and a warm learning atmosphere at Pine Pals. Nothing is more important than the overall health and safety of the children entrusted to our care.

Thank you for your interest in Pine Pals!
