As a community, we can “put the child back in childhood” and build a strong developmental foundation for our children’s lifelong learning, accomplishment, and joy.

​GJK is proud to be a member of The Alliance For Early Childhood!

The GJK Staff continues investigating the "Why's" behind behavior with an in-service by Parent Coach Molly Pope, and a book study on The Whole Brain Child  by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson.  We highly recommend both for parents on the journey to understanding childhood.
