Description: The Garrett Memorial Christian School, founded in 1999, is a ministry of Garrett Memorial Baptist Church . The goal of GMCS is to provide a warm, loving and safe environment conducive to learning, so that each child can learn and develop to his/her potential spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically. We believe GMCS is a place where education & character meet.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
