Programs
I believe that early education is at its best when there is a strong parent: educator relationship. At G.L.E.E it is my goal to collaborate with parents and the community to provide Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers with developmentally and age appropriate activities and materials so that they are free to explore and learn.
Because we are in a comforting home environment, we are able to enhance the learning process by providing one on one attention to your child many times throughout the day. I believe that at this developmental stage being in a small learning environment helps build trusting and confident learners. Our goal is to instill Christian values and to cultivate in children a sense of spirituality, joy, community, respect for others, and themselves.
The first five years of your child’s life will be filled with incredible developmental stages. Observing and helping you in guiding your Infant’s journey through these stages is my gift from God.
Thank you for choosing G.L.E.E to help guide your child on this amazing journey!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Guy
