GCC offers a before and after school for children ages 5 through 12 years old for working families in Guilford.
Since 1978, it has been the goal of the Guilford Before & After School Care Program to provide quality and affordable care to elementary school children. In doing so, our program enables parents to work, continue their education or pursue other interests.
The children in our care are provided with a safe and relaxed environment in which to enjoy a variety of activities. Much of the creative inspiration for these activities comes from the children themselves, whose ideas and preferences are always well regarded by the staff, who continuously strive to keep the program activities flexible and appealing.
Although, as an organization, we function independently of the public school system, we maintain close, supportive ties with the professional staff of the schools in which we operate. This unique relationship affords us the opportunity to interact effectively between parents and school personnel whenever special needs circumstances exist.
“ A wonderful experience for my child to grow, learn, laugh, play and develop her own character with others. The teachers are beyond excellence and we are blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of people.”
“Much thanks to all of the staff to a job well done! We are grateful for all the crafts and special events that you plan to keep are children engaged.”
“Loving staff makes for happy kids! Thank you for all you do!”
“I’ve always been impressed with the caliber of the staff. They are sensitive to the differences and challenges each child presents by providing optional opportunities that will engage different children in different ways”
“Peace of mind! Your program relieves worry.”
“My son loves coming here. You guys are all terrific! Thank you for giving him a loving safe place to be!”
“This program is a true example of community commitment to families.”

Spread kindness around like confetti 🎉 ❤️𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐭 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐛’𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐃𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡
We are honored to share the donation of the 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐃𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡, a heartfelt gift from the 𝐃𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 in loving memory of Kellie Duggan. The Kellie Duggan Foundation
This “take one, leave one” toy station encourages families to share beach toys, spread joy, and embrace the spirit of community—values that Kellie so clearly inspired.
“Although I never had the privilege of knowing Kellie Duggan personally, it’s clear that her spirit lives on through the love and generosity of her family. The Share a Beach Toy Booth is a beautiful reflection of community, kindness, and the joy of giving—values that speak to Kellie’s legacy.”
— 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐲, 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 & 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫
We are deeply grateful for this meaningful addition to Jacob’s Beach.
Thank you, Duggan family, for turning remembrance into a legacy of joy. 💛
