Preschool & K4

Voted BEST PRESCHOOL in Knox County!

The GCS Preschool/K4 Program is designed to engage children, three and four years old, through play-based learning. Loving, Christian teachers encourage the development of social and learning skills with directed play and activities ensuring interaction and lots of fun!

Students in our Preschool/K4 Program learn through singing, story time, dramatic play, table time, and a wide variety of means. Our program is primarily focused on social development, but does include academic learning such as shape, color, number, and letter recognition. We love each student where they are, for who they are!
