I love this school. My daughter attended this school for pre-K, and I could not be more thankful for the wonderful teachers and how amazing her year was. I watched her flourish, and she learned a lot of stuff. I was very thankful to everyone who worked hard to make all the kids feel loved and special. It's a wonderful school.

We love this school!! All the teachers and staff are so friendly and kind-hearted! Everything was super clean and neat, well organized and my son learned so much! Ms. Nicole is a wonderful director and we can't say enough about her! We love GCCA!!!!

My son went to pre-k at Gulf Coast Christian Academy. I was not fully committed for my son to go to what I considered Daycare. But the Director of the teachers quickly changed my mind. They were so loving and patient nachos with me but with my child. I could not recommend the school enough!
