From their very first steps to preparing for kindergarten, GCC meets each child where they are — with age-appropriate learning, play, and care.

A gentle, nurturing environment where infants build trust and security. Individualized feeding and sleeping schedules, sensory play, and one-on-one interaction with caring caregivers.

Active exploration and discovery. Toddlers develop language, motor skills, and social awareness through structured play, art, music, and guided outdoor time in our safe learning spaces.

Building the foundation for lifelong learning. Pre-academic skills, creative expression, cooperative play, and early literacy — all woven into fun, hands-on experiences that spark imagination.

School Age Program

Ages 5 – 12 years

After-school enrichment that keeps curiosity alive. Homework support, STEM activities, arts and crafts, team games, and free play — all in a welcoming space until parents finish work.

Summer Camp

Ages 3 – 12 years

Two months of sunshine, adventure, and learning. Themed weeks, field trips, water play, outdoor adventures, and creative projects keep kids engaged and excited all summer long.
