Description:
Our primary goal is to provide warm and loving care while simultaneously offering a stimulating and educational curriculum. We are proud to employ staff who are committed to quality early childhood education. Our teachers are facilitators, observers, researchers and motivators who, with the children, delight in learning.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

I previously worked at Kindergate. The issues with four-year-olds in the school-aged room was not resolved. There were THREE four-year-olds in that class. The school aged room was also over ratio. On one occasion, one of the toddlers managed to unlatch the gate and get out. A teacher not in the toddler room only noticed this when someone walking along the street saw the child outside of the gate. These issues were never resolved when reported to admins.
Hi I went to kindergate for preschool and kindergarden and I loved the school :)
