School Overview

The Gladstone Center for Children and Families (GCCF) serves as a unique, integrated hub for early childhood development and family support within the Gladstone School District. Rather than functioning as a traditional K-12 school, the Center acts as a centralized resource facility that houses a variety of programs designed to prepare children for academic success. Its offerings typically include high-quality preschool programs, early intervention services, and developmental screenings, all aimed at creating a seamless transition from infancy to kindergarten.

Beyond its educational focus, the Center serves as a vital community pillar by providing wrap-around support for families. By co-locating essential services—such as health and wellness resources, parenting support, and community outreach—GCCF fosters a collaborative environment where educators, families, and social service providers work together. The facility is designed to be an accessible, inclusive space that prioritizes the holistic well-being of the Gladstone community by ensuring that both children and their caregivers have the foundation they need to thrive.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
