How many years have you been at Graland? 4
Why did you choose Graland? We were immediately drawn to Graland’s tight-knit, friendly community. From Josh and Shaun welcoming each child at the gate as they arrive in the morning, to the extra mile that each teacher takes to ensure that all kids feel supported and loved, we knew this would be the perfect environment for our girls to thrive. The emphasis that Graland places on the whole-child education, and teaching kids to simply be compassionate and respectful people, were incredibly important to us. The academics, curriculum, and faculty are also fabulous. Graland is truly our happy place.
Grades: 1 and 3
What are some of your child(ren)'s interests & extracurricular activities? Our girls love reading, tennis, swimming, skiing, biking, soccer, and gymnastics. They are enjoying learning piano and chess. Arts and crafts are always a favorite.
Tell us some fun facts about you and/or your family: We love spending time outside, traveling, and playing games together as a family—Ticket to Ride, Pokémon, and Mahjong, to name a few!
