Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about us.
I just want to say how grateful I am for GFBC Education Programs. I have two children that have been part of their program. I really appreciate the staff for their kindness they have displayed throughout the years. I’m blessed that my children have been able to learn, have fun, make friends, and grow closer to God here at GFBC. It has truly been a blessing to have them in a safe, spirit-filled environment with people whom we grown to love and trust.

GFBC ELC has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives. What sets this center apart is the way they create community. It isn’t just about learning letters and numbers, though the academics are strong, it’s about prayer circles, faith-filled teaching, and genuine care. The staff became people we trusted completely. If you are a parent searching for more than just childcare, this is it! Where children are not only cared for but cherished, parents are encouraged, and families are welcomed into a true community.

We have had a great experience at GFBC Day School and ELC! The directors have alway been attentive, engaged, and responsive to any questions or issues that arise. The curriculum is a good balance of structure and fun, providing an environment that fosters a relationship with God, while also equipping my son with the academic skills to succeed in first grade. The peace of mind knowing they are cared for and loved while we are at work is invaluable.
