Considering a GFS Education

We are happy that you are considering Gwynedd Friends School for your child’s early childhood years. With over 80 years of experience teaching young children, families have come to love and trust us. Simply put, we are experts at what we do. Guided by the testimonies and values of Quakerism, our nature-based, learning-through-play curriculum has been carefully designed to meet each child where they are.

Parents often inquire about the ideal time to start looking for a preschool. We suggest visiting us in the late fall and completing an application in January. Enrollment for new families will then take place in February.

If you are interested in a Gwynedd Friends School education for your child, we invite you to come see us in action! Please click the link below for more information on how to schedule a parents’ meeting with our Director of Admissions, Justine Sannini (jsannini@gwyneddfriendsschool.org). During this informative visit, parents will visit our classrooms and have the chance to talk with our Director of Admissions and faculty about the school day and curriculum. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
