Kindergarten Open House
Did you know that 98% of kindergartners score as creative geniuses? According to the World Economic Forum, that number drops to 3% once they reach the age of 25. This is viewed largely as a result of an educational system focused too heavily on the development of cognitive skills.
GILLISPIE IS DIFFERENT.  LET US SHOW YOU WHY!

Please join us at our Kindergarten Open House on December 6 or January 16 and learn about:

  • Our innovative and well-researched Kindergarten curriculum and philosophy
  • How we help children successfully bridge from the Early Childhood to Elementary school year
  • How our specialty programs enhance the Kindergarten experience
  • How we have tailored space, time, class sizes, and expert educators to suit our youngest elementary students and foster creativity
Why Choose Gillispie?

The educational decisions you are making now are critical to the foundations built as your

Develop a deep love of learning
