According to the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), an organization that promotes high-quality learning for all children and recognizes programs that meet top professional standards, children thrive in programs which offer a high level of consistency and stability -- in other words, low staff turnover. Experienced staff act as mentors and create a positive learning environment. Continuing education for all teaching staff at Groton Community School results in ongoing professional development and sharing of teaching experiences. The dynamic staff at GCS is constantly enhancing what they do while maintaining the school's core principle that young children be met with warmth, excitement, and care.
