Is Young 5s right for your child?

Grand Blanc Community Schools is committed to providing for the needs of all students, including students who benefit from a year’s growth prior to beginning the Kindergarten curriculum expectations.

Our Young 5’s program is a research-based learning experience that focuses on developing the whole child, including: 

• Fine and gross motor skills
• Social-emotional growth
• Early mathematics
• Early literacy & language skills

Children learn within a hands-on, nurturing environment using a Montessori approach that respects the pace of each individual child and their unique genius.
