Gaston Day School Reviews
She came home from her first day at Gaston Day and our fears were immediately gone. She was so happy and excited to go back the next day. She said she had so much fun!
This is a testament to the administration and teachers at Gaston Day. They create an atmosphere that feels open, safe, and loving. A perfect environment for learning. They do a great job keeping us updated on our child's progress through weekly report cards. The crafts that the kids participate in are fun, but as an adult, we see the skills that they are teaching at the same time.
She just finished the school year and has already asked when she is going back to Gaston Day!
My children feel safe and cared for. The small class sizes are perfect for teachers to give each student more individualized attention.
My children just completed Second Grade and Kindergarten. They are getting the solid, academic education they'll need for college and in life.
Anytime I tell my teacher friends about Gaston Day, they tell me they wish their school systems were more like it.
Choosing Gaston Day School for our children's education has been the best decision for our family.
