Gulf Stream School’s Early Childhood Program, located at 2515 North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach, offers a nurturing environment for young learners from Pre-Kindergarten One through Pre-Kindergarten Four. The main school campus is located in Gulf Stream (east of Delray Beach, across from the ocean), where students in kindergarten through grade 8 continue their education.
