I enrolled my son at Green Pastures Childcare Center in 2004-05 school year. I was a little nervous, but I enrolled him on what I heard from others. I was glad I took the advise because the Director and staff kept their word by meeting the needs of my son. No school is perfect, but they sure came close.

We are not sure if our second child will attend GPCS. Read less

On another note, experience has shown that certain teachers have been allowed to operate in a vacuum - following their own standard and not that which parallels with any systemic standard. Oversight of instruction seems almost obsolete and parental concerns typically finds it's way into a 'political' entanglement. If possible, speak with parents (outside of the clique). The principal speaks very eloquent and you may not know what really goes on from school publications and information given by the staff. The owner seems to be a good hearted person, with the wrong staff in charge - so unfortunate. Read less
