Absolutely love Gateway Preschool Academy! We’ve sent both of our children there, and it’s truly been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. From the moment we toured, we felt the genuine warmth and care the teachers and staff bring every single day. The classrooms are thoughtfully designed for each age group, and the curriculum beautifully balances academics with play, music, movement, and spiritual growth. I especially appreciate how Bible stories and prayer are woven naturally into the daily rhythm while still keeping learning engaging and fun. If you’re looking for a preschool that feels like extended family, prepares your child well for Kindergarten, and keeps Christ at the center of it all, we wholeheartedly recommend Gateway Preschool Academy!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Gateway Preschool Academy. Our daughter joined GPA when she was 2.5 years old and stayed until she went on to kindergarten. A special shout-out to Ms. Marley, Mr. Angus, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Yessica who went above and beyond in caring for the children. It was clear how much they genuinely cared, and we truly miss GPA. Toward the end of her time there, our daughter didn't even want to go home--she just wanted to stay at GPA and keep playing with her friends.
We absolutely love this preschool! The teachers are amazing—so caring, patient, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth. It’s a faith-based school with a warm, family-like atmosphere, and the classrooms are always clean and welcoming. Our kids truly look forward to going every day; even on their very first days, they walked right in without a tear because they felt so comfortable and safe. Communication is excellent—teachers keep us updated and engaged, and it’s clear they work closely with both the kids and parents. We couldn’t recommend this preschool more highly. It’s a wonderful place for children to learn, grow, and feel loved.
I first had my oldest join for his final year before going to TK and now have our youngest apart of this amazing program. I really do plan on have my youngest stay in the program until she can go to TK. All of the teachers are really nice and helpful for all of the kids. When my daughter was still only 1 she would want to play and they would truly enjoy her presents and made my wife and I feel even more welcomed to be apart of this amazing community. I really do tell anyone and everyone about GPA but sadly most of the people I know don't live near here or commute past for it to make since for them to have their child.
Our experience with this preschool has been absolutely fantastic! Our child has been going there for three years, and we've loved every moment. The teachers are so friendly and create such a positive and happy environment. They always have smiles on their faces, and the kids are clearly happy there. There are so many fun activities, like crafts, exciting field trips, and even Friday pizza lunch days!.
