Golden Pond School offers Preschool Enrichment, quality year-round care from 7am-6pm!
Preschool Enrichment is available to children enrolled in our 2 day, 3 day and 5 day morning preschool programs from ages 2-5. These preschool students enjoy their engaging morning preschool curriculum and continue on with Preschool Enrichment where they have recess, lunch, nap/quiet time, afternoon snack, independent and teacher lead activities. The fun begins as early as 7am (for breakfast) with pick up as late as 6pm.
An integral part of our Preschool Enrichment program is the strength and expertise of the teachers. Our teachers are highly trained and accomplished in the field of Early Childhood Education. We have a low teacher turnover rate that creates structure and stability for our students. Parents stay connected daily through Tadpoles, paperless childcare daily reports for the iPhone and iPad. These classrooms are referred to as the Koalas and Kangaroos.

“Pretty much every time we come to pick up the boys, which is usually between 5-5:30, they tell us that we’re “too early” and they aren’t ready to go yet. It’s funny because we come walking in expecting to be greeted by running hugs but instead they sort of look at us with a bit of annoyance because we’ve interrupted something fun they were doing at a center or we’ve intercepted them from going outside to play with their friends. Even after 5, they are having too much fun to leave! ” – GPS Parent“Our son Brody is in the Stay & Play program and he is loving it! Every week he tells me about the theme and just loves having his morning buddies and his Stay & Play friends every day. The teachers have been wonderful and the class ratio is amazing. It’s a safe and fun environment for my child. The rooms are spotless, they brush their teeth daily, are provided healthy meals and have a great balance of classroom, free time and playground time. I have to beg him to follow me out each night!” – Karyn B./Parent“Now that Golden Pond has their Stay & Play program we don’t have to pick up our six year old twins and a three year old children from two different locations! We had to deal with two separate school calendars and schedules over the last few years and as working parents it presented many challenges. We are so grateful to finally have all of them together in such a great environment.” Thank you GPS! – Rod L./Parent.
