My 2 year old son attended this school last year for the first time. My son comes home happy every day. That is priceless! The teachers are caring and focus on the individual child. The administrative staff is excellent; everyday they greet kids at each of the entry gates. On rainy days, the teacher assistants help unload children in the covered parking area to avoid the children getting wet. That is excellent service! They have a great playground, library, computer lab and vegetable garden. My son could have learned his numbers and colors at other schools, but the love and attention he receives at this school is unparalleled. We love this school!

I am a very picky parent since I have been an inspector with the Dept. of Health / Child Care Division in Washington DC. The center is well ran, good child-teacher interaction, good parent-teacher communication, clean, loving & Christian teaching. Two year old is currently attending. Kindergartener Graduated.

This school is highly rated by parents, it is a good school, but it is not geared to work with the child, but rather to have the child work to fit the school structure..the teacher-student ratio is poor..classroom are overcrowded,..the school has areas which warrant improvement.

Although this is a wonderful school, it is not really for children of working parents. The after-school program has only about 25 students out of over 150 that attend the school, and unless the kids are attending an activity by an outside vendor such as ballet or soccer, there is no programmed activity during this time. The grand majority of the students get picked up early. Also, the student teacher ratio is low due to art, computer, music & other subject teachers- not due to class size. The low ratio is misleading since the class size is actually higher than that of other schools in the area.

Excellent academically, very organized, very committed teachers, loving/tender environment but with discipline. Emphasis on Christian values but not excessive. It's a wonderful school all around.

Very good day school program. Children are invlolved in many activities. I especially like the art and music programs. Alot of extra curricular activities brought to the school for additional learning. Parent involvement highly encouraged. Afterschool program although good, I feel could be better.

GDS is everything I wanted for my 2 year old. GDS is not set up as a day care. It provides an actual cirriculum in a classroom setting. The students enjoy the benefit of a low teacher/student ratio. The cirriculum includes centers, art, music, library, and computers, among other things. The school also offers a wide array of extra-cirricular activies including sports, dance and languages. The school's staff is very caring of the children, providing all the nurturing and love needed at this stage of their lives. Not only are the children sincerely loved, but they are taught about discipline and respect for themselves as well as others, all the while maintaining God at the center of their lives. The children are treated as individuals and as such are prepared academically at their own pace. The school environment,surrondings and classrooms are all conducive to learning & enjoying this early academic experience!
