Our primary focus in preschool is to share the love of Jesus with our students through our daily activities as we prepare our students for the rigorous kindergarten program offered at GCA. GCA's preschool teachers have written a thematic curriculum intended to foster students' development spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially while learning in a Christ-Centered environment. Detailed information about each unit will be sent to parents weekly through their class newsletter.
