Red, white and BLUE 💙 Our Ladybugs enjoyed making blue modeling clay – then exploring the texture and artistic opportunities

“If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love. But we need to know, you can’t erase history. So, let’s learn from it and be sure it doesn’t happen again.”

We are excited to welcome home Ms. Wilena, Chiquita, Qiana, Candace, & Deanna after attending the Reggio Emilia Study Tour in Italy this week!

This immersive experience takes place in Reggio Emilia, Italy the birthplace of the world-renowned Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education. During the tour, educators from around the world gather to learn directly from the schools, educators, and pedagogical leaders who have shaped this approach.

The insights and experiences gained will directly inform and elevate our curriculum, environment, and daily interactions with your children and families. We believe that when educators continue to learn and grow, the entire GPCP community benefits. They can't wait to share more with all our families!

On Wednesday we gathered in Grant Park to honor the graduation of many of our Multiage children 🎓 and to celebrate the end of a wonderful school year. 🥳 We are so thankful for our incredible community of families and educators. It was a special year, and we look forward to seeing what magic our next year brings. Happy summer to all! ✨🌞

We are happy to share this event that some of our educators will be supporting this Sunday. 🌳🥾⛰️🌳

Join the Weelaunee Coalition for a guided hike at Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area with Park Ranger/Naturalist Shaundon.

We will be exploring Arabia and having dialogue about the histories, Natural features, and beings that connect the mountain to the Weelaunee Forest and Atlanta, “The City in a Forest”.

This nature walk is open to all! Children and their families are especially invited, and considered in the design of our exploration. Early Childhood/Environmental educators will be supporting this experience!
