Mrs. Jennifer Coxson
Administrative Director
My job at GSLP is: I work with parents on school forms and tuition, and keep track of the budget and other administrative jobs.
About me: I am an Army brat and moved a lot when I was a child. I still love to travel and to read books. I have 3 tall sons and am told that I am now the shrimp of the family. I have a Master of Business Administration degree as well as college-level coursework in child development, early childhood curriculum, and administration of child care programs. I spent three years working in our classrooms before becoming co-director in 2014.
What I like most about working at GSLP is: I love seeing the little kids. I also love all of the events and service opportunities that are available.
When I'm not at GSLP, I am: Reading, doing water aerobics, grocery shopping and dreaming of future trips!
