​Curricula
GCCDC follows the "A Beka Curriculum for Preschoolers".  The A Beka Book approach to Christian education keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. Our materials reflect a sensible theory that is firmly anchored to practicality. A Beka Book materials have been developed as a result of 50 years of actual classroom experience in Pensacola Christian Academy, one of America’s largest and most respected Christian day schools.
​
We also use the "InvestiGator Club Program". The InvestiGator Club encourages language, cognitive, physical, and social-emotional growth through inquiry-based experiences.
