What will my child do in Preschool?

Active ImageDepending on the program your child is enrolled in, he or she will be with us for different spans of time.  We promise to encourage and care for your child during the time  you entrust to us.

A typical day will include activities and experiences that will nurture the individual child's social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spritual development.  Arts and crafts, stories, singing, water play, cooking, indoor and outdoor games are incorporated into the children's learning.  Our school day offers times of structured activity, where teacher direction is utilized, as well as unstructured activites, where the teacher's role is to facilitate the interest of the child or children.  This combination allows for the child to both learn the basic skills and also explore and express their own skills and talents.

How do I get my child enrolled?
The great news is our school has open enrollment, meaning that we enroll students throughout the year, of course the child needs to be ready for preschool.  Once you  have determined that your child is ready, then the process is as simple as giving us a call to set up a time to meet and get a tour of our  school.


After you have had opportunity to visit our school and see it  "in action" and talk with the staff we  will begin the process by  giving  you our Registration Packet. Once you have filled out the required information , you can return it to GPC Preschool with the  necessary payments.


In order for your child to begin learning and growing with us, we must have a complete registration packet including a Physician's Report, Child's Preadmission health History, Consent for Medical treatment, Identification and Emergency Information,  Admission Agreement and Emergency kit.
