| Our Facilities
The school is over 22,000 square feet on 3.7 acres, conveniently located at Willow Road and I-294. It has 11 classrooms, a mini-gym/multi-purpose room, and four newly renovated playgrounds.
Carefully designed to enrich the mind, body and spirit of young children, our exceptional facilities also offer a safe and secure environment. We welcome you to visit so you can experience the warm and educational environment that makes GBN such a special place.
Lobby
Our lobby boasts two unique installations that help keep children connected and captivated by nature:
" A professionally-maintained aviary with a variety of beautiful birds
" A freshwater aquarium positioned at eye-level for our children to enjoy
Classrooms
Classrooms are large, light and airy with plenty of nooks and crannies for children to find their own quiet spaces. The school is divided into three wings to accommodate our different age groups: infants, toddlers and pre-school/kindergarten.
Infant rooms include separate infant nap rooms and radiant floor heat, while pre-school and kindergarten rooms offer creative play lofts. All rooms bring many of the most commonly used items to a child's level to help build independence.
Natural Playscapes
Our newly re-designed playgrounds are a special place for children to play, explore, learn and grow. From age-appropriate equipment to places where children can gather and play, our playscapes help kids stay active and enjoy nature. Our landscaping has plants that attract butterflies and birds, but also contain low allergen and toxicity levels.
Mini-Gym
For those days when the weather won't cooperate, our mini-gym is a great way for our students to burn off some extra energy. It also serves as a space for some of our larger group activities such as dance class and festivals.
Woodworking and Art Rooms
During times when we have extra classroom space, we convert existing space into woodworking and art rooms.
Safety
Electronic keys and a monitored security system ensure the highest levels of safety of all students.
