Education Station & Preschool is currently closed to visitors to protect our school community during. We want to work in concert with parents and caregivers to create a welcoming learning environment and build lasting relationships. We want to help raise the children in our care to reach their full potential and to become happy, healthy adults with a lifelong love of learning.
At Education Station & Preschool our philosophy is based on years of education, experience, and research. We believe that given the proper environment, nurturing, and tools all children can grow and develop into successful adults. We want to provide that environment for families in the Gainesville area.

Our infant program begins as early as 6-weeks and continues to the 12-month mark. As we maintain a 1:4 teacher: infant ratio, spaces in our infant class are extremely limited and are almost always reserved in advance. It is not uncommon for our infant room to be booked out a full year in advance. Therefore, we strongly encourage expectant parents to begin the search for quality childcare sooner rather than later.
As children in our care get closer to kindergarten, they gradually get more of the classroom experience. Our Preschool Trainers get more sophisticated dramatic play materials like train sets and prop boxes. Once in our Preschool program, children get the addition of weekly Stretch-n-Grow classes where children learn the names of their muscles, complete engaging exercises, and discuss healthy eating.
When students join our Pre-Kindergarten program, we gradually move them from a more play-based approach to a more structured one. To best prepare students for kindergarten, we focus on developing the skills they need in an engaging way with the goal of not only making sure they are just ready, but are also excited to go.

This day care has been nothing short of phenomenal. They felt like extended family and treated my daughter as such. Very personable, offered healthy meals and snacks, taught great manners, and helped each kid adjust in their own way. One thing that really stuck out to me is that my daughter has perfected a salty face especially for pictures. They let her watch multiple kids take pictures to help her become comfortable and AFTER 4 days of attempts, she finally got a good one with smiles. That simple effort and time means a ton. We were very sad to move away, further daycares have a lot to live up

This school is more amazing than 5 stars can describe. I currently have my second child attending this school after seeing the superb care my oldest son received. They challenge the kids with wonderful interactive learning activities. They never put learning limits based on age. My son could read at age 4 and loved going to "school" each day which made the Kindergarten transition very easy. Thank you so much Education Station, we love you!
