I was a student at Gesell in the mid 60s and remember it very fondly. Gesell was the foundation for all my future education and development. I am from a family of educators who chose Gesell for its nurturing and supportive environment and it was exactly that. I was a shy child and English was not my first language. At Gesell, I felt comfortable playing with the other children and interacting with the kind and fun teachers. Although I was only 3 or 4 at the time, I have very happy memories of Gesell.
