ACADEMICS
At GELA, our programs are organized to develop students cognitive skills, social/emotional skills, executive function skills, academic skills, physical skills and more. We do this through dramatic play and structured activities designed to build these skills. Focusing on these skills in the early childhood setting is imperative and leads to students being prepared for the elementary school setting.
