For families, the Golden Plains school district keeps its elementary school right in Selden, along with the Little Paws Daycare for younger children. Older students make the quick trip over to Rexford for middle and high school. Daily activities tend to center around the city park, walking trail, and local ball field, especially during youth baseball games in the summer and the town's annual Fourth of July fireworks show.
