GASP! owners Debbie Peters and Sharon Foster have decades of experience in child care. Our mission is to provide working parents an affordable after school option that is packed with adventure, fun, and extended learning.
As working moms ourselves, we understand how hard it is to trust a stranger to transport your child from school to day care. We eliminate that fear by operating a robust after school program…right at your school. We combine experienced and qualified staff with activities kids love to create ‘the cool way to end your school day.
About Debbie
26 years ago, with an 18-month-old and in her 7th month of pregnancy, Debbie was informed that she was carrying identical twins. She decided, well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em….and bought a well-loved childcare center in Lawrenceville. Loving children and serving their families is a true honor for Debbie.
She bought another large center and cared for about 450 children for a handful of years. Since selling in 2015, Debbie has abandoned successful marketing endeavors to work happily as an elementary school crossing guard. She is a volunteer with the Duluth Cluster Schools Foundation and serves on the board of directors for the Peachtree Corners Rotary Club and Berkeley Lake Chapel. Debbie looks forward to serving your family.
