The Early Childhood Program at GIPS is dedicated to providing four and five-year-old children, and 3-year-olds verified with Special Education, a foundation for school success!

Our preschool program provides a nurturing and caring environment that develops each child’s potential for learning through a balanced approach, which includes age-appropriate, individually-appropriate, and culturally and linguistically-appropriate practices.
