Core to our mission is to establish a partnership with families to support their children's development. We do this by working with parents on their individual child's needs.

This includes:

• Family Intake Conference and Transition Meetings.
• Formal parent teacher conferences two times per year.
• Individual developmental portfolios with photos, artwork and key physical, social and academic milestones.
• Parent seminars discussing topics for young children of interest to our families.
• Availability for informal conferences and calls at any time.
• Weekly newsletters.

Parent Comments:

“Everyday, I see the evidence that my daughter is thriving and excelling as I am totally confident that every minute she spends at GBN is healthy for our entire family.”
John Terry and Karen Laskey Terry, parents

“I wish I knew earlier about GBNs robust all day Kindergarten class and sent my older twins to their program vs public half day Kindergarten. Now that my youngest has experienced GBN, I could not imagine sending him anywhere else.”

“My son just made the cut off for Kindergarten, but we decided to hold him back and enroll in the all day Jr Kindergarten program at GBN. His learning and development blossomed and progressed beyond our expectations. We are re-enrolling in GBNs Sr Kindergarten program again as we could not turn back now and go to public half day program.”
Robyn Pflomm, parent

“The healthy menu and food that Nielsen provides the children is thoughtfully organized, organic (lunches) and locally grown. The teachers keep a log of everything the children eat at lunch, so I know exactly what Benjamin ate. The variety of food is also so impressive, from organic chicken to taco bar, to Thanksgiving turkey lunch. Also, every lunch has fresh fruit and vegetables. I often joke that Benjamin eats way better than I do!”
Jennifer Ping, parent

“We are so excited to see her social skills and language blossom since her transition into the Preschool Program. Our shy girl is opening up, making new friends and sharing more of her daily experiences with us. GBN is providing her with a secure place to open up & explore. We are grateful to have such a wonderful place for her to grow.”

“Even for the Infant Program, I never call GBN a Day Care Center, it is a school in every way. The staff is so loving and warm to the children. I find it amazing that teachers that are not in Benjamin's classroom know him & comment about him to me as we pass through the halls.”
Kirsten Schumacher, parent

“The GBN campus is truly designed for the benefit of children and to provide them with endless opportunities to explore, play and learn safely. What I appreciate most is that they are constantly re-thinking spaces and re-configuring to keep the facilities stimulating for the children.”

“Nothing we've seen comes close to the quality of care and attention our child has received at GBN. They really do an excellent job of building a sense of community and family.”
