What parents say
This is by far the most impressive early childhood center in the country. Both of our children went through GP Marine Park and we feel incredibly grateful for the community, education and healthy/loving environment.
Shawna Marino · 5/5 on Google · 10 months agoLooks like an ok preschool but they give preference for SaMo employees and residents and have a 75 family long waitlist! They are also militant about no children in the tour. So you’ll have to find childcare and come to get told you have no shot of a space. What a waste of time. Really wish preschools were more transparent abou their space instead of wasting your time.
