Where research meets imagination.
Our approach blends curriculum and brain science to shape classrooms that are hands-on and meaningful. Children investigate, question and create. This sparks confidence, independence, executive function and social-emotional skills that last well beyond the early years.

GPS has a unique way of introducing families to their child’s teacher - home visits! Every Preschool and Kindergarten student has the opportunity to meet their teacher individually in their home (or at school!) about a week before school starts.
🏡 Home visits allow children and teachers to get to know each other and start building their personal relationship in a comfortable environment. We want children to feel welcome and happy in the classroom from day #1. Home visits get the school year off on the right foot, enabling children to settle into classroom routines so they can quickly dive into the exciting curriculum immediately.
Thank you to our Golden Pond families for opening your homes to our teachers. It is just the beginning of the great adventures ahead!
🍧 Happy last day of Summer Camp! Thank you for the memories!
