Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The schools curriculum co-insides with the New York state standards, the teachers are warm and caring and work at each students level and nourishes them to become more independent and social beings.
Parent #2
Gateway has many strengths including friendly and competent teachers, comfortable environment, and excellent teaching model. We all love it!
Parent #3
The curriculum is excellent for preparation for little ones for kindergarten. Socialization is ensured but what impresses me the most is the unique approaches to learning and academics. My son is having fun learning something new every day. The communication skills between parents and teachers is top-notch.
Parent #4
All the teachers are so supportive and caring. They encourage the children to have fun through learning. They set the foundation for making school fun and educational.
Parent #5
Gateway Nursery School is wonderful is every aspect. My daughter loves the teachers coming to the car in the morning to get her. She enjoys the one on one attention as well as the creativity from the program. Her teachers are fantastic too. I like how they re direct the childrens' attention as opposed to strict discipline. I love the fact that the kids have free time, as well as circle time, songs, activites, and books.
I truthfully have not heard one negative thing from the teachers, or my daughter. I have been fortunate that our experience has been fantastic. I'm looking forward to sending my son and my daughter back in the fall.
Thanks again!
Parent #6
Gateway is a wonderful school. My son loves going here. We've had nothing but positive experiences here. The teaching staff is great and always willing to listen to any concerns you may have. They have a nice balance between socialization and academic skills, especially for the 4 year old program.

Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Gateway has a unique drop off system. The system is similar to a bus-you pull up in your car; the teachers come and take your child out of the car for you, then lead them into the class. This has helped me immensely since I do have other children. My daughter feels "special" because the teachers come and get her from the car.

| Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

The play equipment in the gym area is always switched up to give the kids variety. The school uses local playgrounds when it's warm enough to play.

Although there isn't an area where the children can play outside, every day the children are taken to the gym where there is a variety of toys and equipment (bikes, balls, etc.) that are available.

You can't get a brighter, cleaner, friendlier environment for you children to attend school.
