Program Information
Our day includes an abundance of time outdoors, as the weather permits. Each child will be balancing free exploration with structured lessons that are focused on their own development and growth. During mealtimes, our students will have more opportunities to be hands-on while they learn to prepare meals, serve themselves, and clean up when finished. During rest times, they learn about their own body’s needs. Every moment of a child’s day with us at GRCC is utilized for learning, in a playful and meaningful way.
Our Mission.
Gallatin River Child Care (GRCC) provides a clean, safe, developmentally appropriate environment for all children, focusing on providing stimulating early care and educational experiences which promotes each child's social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
Our Vision.
We honor, respect, and protect the wonders of childhood through a responsive curriculum, designed to produce individuals who can impart meaning to their lives. GRCC staff will support your children’s desire to be life-long learners.
Our Philosophy.
Our philosophy for education is focused on the whole child: the head, heart, and hands.
Each child’s development and growth will guide their learning experience. Our dedicated educators curate enriching environments and activities inspired by nature and tailored to each child. We are guided by the Waldorf style of early childhood education, utilizing the natural landscapes of our wonderful state. We approach our education style with excitement and wonder. As each child gets to guide us as their facilitators, on their own journey.
