Edited to add: I believe they got a new director a while ago, my review is based on services when Jennifer Roberts was the director. Watch the cameras, I feel that most parents sending their kids here don't. My son went there and during his first week, I saw camera footage that was concerning to me. When I brought it up with the director, I was told they confronted the employee and she started crying, so they gave her another chance. Six months later, that teacher and another were fired in the middle of the day. I was told they no longer work there but the reason for dismissal was never given to me, despite me asking for a reason or asking if related to the safety of a child (understandable and not uncommon in day care setting, but still unnerving given what I saw on the camera months before). After the teachers were fired, they took a while finding a replacement teacher so they would combine his class with an older VPK class. I don't feel that the teachers could handle the combined classes, I saw my son trying to nap one day and kids running around class like crazy, at one point tipping a stroller over on my son. After about 30 minutes of the chaos, another teacher came in to get the kids running around, but also took my son out of the room (because he wasn't sleeping from all the craziness) and wouldn't let him nap. When I picked him up that day and asked about it, I was told he just wasn't tired and refused to nap that day, despite the video showing a completely different story. Hopefully others have a better experience, but I enrolled my son elsewhere and haven't looked back since. Again, if you enroll your child, WATCH THE CAMERAS!

GCCA is a safe, clean, organized and caring environment for children. The teachers and staff at GCCA provide a loving atmosphere, all of the teachers are dedicated to the children in their care!

This was the best experience I’ve ever had with any daycare! Gulf Coast Christian, Academy has the most patient And loving teachers! The education for pre-K is better than any I’ve experienced with any of my other children! My kids even go to summer camp here I would have them go nowhere else!

My daughter loves it here & learning so much !

My family and I are so happy that we found this preschool when we did last year. Our daughter attended Gulf Coast Christian Academy for VPK the 22-23 school year and had two of the greatest teachers. Ms. R and Ms. Jess were absolute angels. She learned so much and is now thriving in her first year of elementary school. Parents, if you’re looking for an excellent VPK/ preschool program. send your kids here! These teachers are dedicated and have a true passion for what they do.

If I could give this school 10 stars I would!! This is the FIRST school I have seen my child happy at in North Port. You know it is an amazing place because my child doesn't ever want to leave at pick up. I love that my son feels as though it is his home away from home. I recommend GCCA to anyone looking for warm and caring environment for their child to attend. My son has thrived so much since he's started attending. GCCA is such a great school with wonderful teachers. I definitely made the right choice by choosing this place!

GCCA has been such a blessing to our family. Our daughter attended daycare, VPK and the summer program. She will enter kindergarten better prepared than most. We found the staff to be caring, kind and professional. Mrs. Nicole, Mrs. Michelle and Mrs. R will be greatly missed as we head into Kindergarten. If you are looking for a loving and supportive community for your family, GCCA sets the gold standard.

Excellent preschool with devoted and caring staff. My child just completed VPK at GCCA. While at GCCA, my daughter learned so much! We are so fortunate to have found a school that fit the needs of our family. The Teachers and the Director are so caring and compassionate. They all have a true love for working with children. I would recommend GCCA to anyone looking for a positive learning environment for their child to learn and excel in.
