Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: For free Pre-K, use the registration link on the group's preschool page (gpcacares.org/programs/preschool). For other programs, call (215) 336-5505 or email info@gpca-phila.org..
What to expect
The site does not describe a typical visit. Programs serve young children, school-age kids, teens, parents and adults, and several are free or low cost. Hours, locations and sign-up steps are listed for only some programs, so call the office first.
Tips for your first visit
- Call the office with the name of the program you want before you go.
