Little Saints: 18-month-old program at GSL!
Continued demand for spaces at GSL’s Preschool, which celebrated its centennial in 2024, led to the decision to expand the school’s grade level configuration by adding an 18-month-old program called Little Saints to give families an earlier entry point to GSL.
We are happy to provide a younger age group with a nurturing, safe, and loving environment designed to ignite curiosity and develop foundational skills needed for success and readiness in kindergarten.
At all grade levels, GSL offers a learning environment that celebrates curiosity, fosters growth, and ultimately prepares our students to become creative problem solvers, confident lifelong learners, and responsible citizens in their communities and the world.
Children must be walking and 16-23 months old by June 1 to be eligible for enrollment in Little Saints. Are you interested in joining us? We'd love to give you a tour and showing you what GSL is all about! Click here to apply today
