Becky Gates Children Center is the best day care facility my children have attended - hands down. Everyone - from administrative staff to teachers to student workers are professional, engaging, and caring. We have been sending our children through this center for six years and at this point feel like the people who work here are part of our family. I am so impressed with the patience and love shown my children and the timely and transparent communication from administration at all times. The teachers are AMAZING! There is very low turnover so many of the teachers have had more than one of my kiddos. The curriculum is fantastic - our oldest was so beyond prepped for kindergarten when he started because of how much they work with the kids. I love the project approach they use (having the kids direct what they want to learn about and modifying lesson plans around what most interests the children). I love the constant communication between the teachers and myself - I always feel like I know what is going on. I especially like how engaged everyone is from the top down. When we get to the Center we are greeted by name by everyone we encounter - from the Director to the student workers. Everyone is unfailingly polite and kind. If I could recommend this Center at more than 5 stars I would - they are literally the best.

I just want to say how thankful I am as a Mother to have the ability to trust the staff and teachers at Becky Gates Children’s Center. My son absolutely loves going to school and loves his teachers. Within the two weeks that my son has attended, my husband and I have seen his level of confidence increase drastically. I am grateful to each and everyone of the staff members / teachers that work together as a team to ensure that my son is being taken care of while I am at work. My husband and I are so very grateful and at peace with our decision for Jace to attend Becky Gates Children's Center. 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!!!!

1. Waiting list is long. 2. Classrooms are very small, old, and dark. 3. Teachers are always in training which makes kids stay with student workers alone. 4. No professional teachers working; no music teacher, no art teacher, etc. 5. No camera to watch what your kids are doing during day (You can find this service in any other day care easily). 6. It is cheaper than the other day cares. 7. most importantly, they are not taking good care of kids, running noses and so much wasted time outside (even during cold or hot days). 8. Student workers are not careful, you can get someone else's kid easily after 4:00 pm, because kids are outside, only student workers are around, and they do not closely check what kids are doing.
