Why the Rush?
In today's fast-paced world, there’s pressure to accelerate learning. But why the rush and to what end? The years between ages two and 12 are a uniquely wondrous time in children’s lives. The investment in these years is foundational to developing joyous, life-long learners. At Gillispie, the journey matters.
