At Goodrich Children’s Center, our preschool program offers families a safe, caring, and joyful environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow. In our 3- and 4-year-old classrooms, learning comes to life through hands-on experiences, imaginative play, and meaningful interactions that spark curiosity and build confidence.

We believe children thrive when they feel supported and inspired. That’s why we create enriching, creative spaces where teacher-guided learning is thoughtfully balanced with child-led exploration — nurturing independence, critical thinking, and a genuine love of learning that lasts well beyond the preschool years.

Key details about the Children’s Center:

• Cost: This is a tuition-based program.  Discounted tuition is  offered to preschool families who attend 3+ days and need extended care.
• Eligibility: Residency is NOT a factor in placement. All children who meet age criteria are welcome to enroll.  All enrolling students must be potty-trained to attend.
• Schedule: Our Half Day classrooms have a fixed schedule; however, our Full Day classrooms allow for more flexible scheduling, allowing families to choose their days. Students are only required to attend at least 2 days per week.
• Location: Reid Elementary, Goodrich
• Additional Care: Before and after care are available with flexible scheduling. The Center follows the Goodrich Area School calendar but will remain open for a full day on school district half days of school.
• Discount: Families will receive a 20% discount for additional children. The first child will be full price and each additional less expensive child will receive a discount

Enrollment spots are limited; please complete an interest form and we will contact you regarding placement.  Families enrolling in our 4’s program who wish to also be considered for GSRP should apply for BOTH programs.

These documents will be needed as part of the 2026-2027 enrollment process.  You may upload them during the registration process or bring them to the Reid Elementary Children's Center office.

• Birth certificate
• Proof of residency (Drivers License, Consumers bill)
• Proof of income (W2/tax documents) for GSRP 4-year olds
• Health appraisal completed within the last calendar year (as of March 1, 2025)
• Proof of up-to-date immunizations
• Any applicable special education or court documents (i.e. custody).

If you are in need of financial assistance for preschool, you may be eligible for the DHHS child care subsidy. Please note that this can be a tedious process; most families are denied the first time they apply, but it is recommended you re-apply if this happens.
