Significant Others of SGU

Opportunities

GAP

The Grand Anse Playgroup (GAP) was created to support students and their families while attending SGU. 

 
The GAP operates from a small building on the Grand Anse Campus and offers programs for infants (3 months and above), toddlers (18 months to 3 years) and children ages 3 years and older. The grouping of children in each playgroup will facilitate the child's natural learning while still providing interactions with children of similar ages. 
 
The GAP is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday during SGU terms (Aug-Dec, Jan-June).


The GAP is committed to providing high quality, age appropriate, caring and nurturing playgroups in safe and healthy environments.  Experienced caregivers will facilitate individual, small and large group activities. For more information, please contact the director.

Location & Other Information

The Grand Anse Campus is located across the street (towards the beach) from the Spiceland Mall. It is the final stop on True Blue/Grand Anse bus route.

The GAP is housed in the building immediately to your right, once you have entered through the main gates of the campus parking lot. The building is yellow with a red roof.
 
During the week between the hours of  7:00am and 6:00pm the building is used by the GAP. Significant others are welcome to drop in but must supervise their children at all times. You will be required to use the age-appropriate room for your child and participate in the GAP activities.
 
If you plan on dropping in as a small group of parents with children, contact Tammi Martin 24 hours in advance. You are allowed to use this facility after hours and on the weekend free of charge if you want to let the kids play while you wait for the bus or do laundry. To obtain a key simply ask the security guard at the front gate for the GAP key. You will then sign your name and the time of use. Respect this privilege by returning the key promptly after use. Please take care of and put away all toys that you and your children may have used during your time there. Remember to turn off the air conditioning and the lights, dispose of all trash outside of the building, and lock up. Leave this facility cleaner than they way you found it!    

 

All significant others who attend the GAP with their children as a drop in during business hours, after hours, and/or on the weekends must sign a waiver form at the beginning of each term even if one has been signed for a previous term.
