Gateway Academy Child Development Center – Kenton

My youngest child has attended Gateway for over one year and he loves it — as do we. The warmth exhibited by all of the teachers and staff is exactly what I seek when choosing childcare: they love each and every child. The childcare provided is skilled and the teachers «own» their rooms/​student groups: from decorating to activities to books to centers/​circle time, the teachers seem engaged, creative, enthusiastic and seeking to improve wherever needed. We’re thrilled with the professionalism and care.

We’ve only recently moved our children over to Gateway from the Goddard School.
The building is well designed, the lobby was open, warm, and though a small detail, it smelled of warm potpourri as opposed to the normal sterile, hospital smell of child care centers. The middle of the building is open, creating a sense of community among the children. I like that my older daughter can see her little brother at points during the day, she always worried about him.
The staff is laid back and engaged with with kids. We felt no pressure from them on signing up, nor were we rushed through the building during the tour.
Considering the meals are prepared for the children, the cost is reasonable and I feel is a strong value in the market.
The location is convenient to us on the way home but also is off the main roads, so I don’t worry about traffic or danger from outside.
