You Make A Difference To Gateway

Fundraising Matters

Providing high-quality child care for children and appropriate training and experience for teachers and staff isn’t always easy.  You can make a difference in the lives of children in our community by making a donation to Gateway.  Donated funds are utilized to purchase learning materials for the classrooms, provide nutritious meals and snacks, and training for our staff.  Funds can also be used to assist low income families that are on the waiting list for financial assistance.  If you would like to talk about how you can make a positive difference, give our Executive Director a call today!

Scholastic Book Fair

We invite you to support Gateway through our Scholastic Book Fair in July 22-26, 2024.  We will have books for children from infancy through school age available for purchase during our book fair.  We accept cash, checks, and credit cards.

Quality Counts

The early years from birth to age eight are critically important for all areas of learning and development.

In the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second. These are the connections that build brain architecture – the foundation upon which all later learning, behavior, and health depend.1

That is why it is important for everyone – parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors – to help kids develop and start on a path to success.

Early experiences are important in shaping how successful children are later in life. Studies show that kids who have quality early childhood experiences, including attending quality early childhood programs, like Gateway, are more likely to graduate from high school, own a home, have a job and earn a higher income.2

Learning in the early years lays the foundation for a successful and happy future for our kids.  You can help make a difference in the lives of children by supporting Gateway.  There are many ways to support Gateway and the children and families we serve.

  1. Volunteer your time and talents
  2. Join the Board of Directors
  3. Make a donation of classroom supplies
  4. Make a donation of money to help support our program

Thank you for your support!

What Our Children, Parents & Care Givers Say About Gateway

“Great staff that actually cares for the childs well being. Not only physically but they also help them excel in learning new things that some daycares don’t do. Just an all around great place!”

Patrick M.

“My kid has higher behaviors and Gateway will work with you as long as you are willing to work with them.  Amazing care and amazing relationships are formed.”

Felicia M.

“Gateway is amazing.  They treat both my girls with love and care.  I am so grateful to have a safe and trustworthy daycare, so I can work for my family.  I even have a daughter with verbal Apraxia and does not speak.  Her two teachers nurture this and have the patience that I sometimes lack.  I think of Gateway as a support system.”

Sharon H.

“Gateway has loved my children so incredibly well during the last 3.5 years. The admin staff is kind, caring, and personable. The teachers are communicative and put so much effort into getting to know each child individually. When there are disagreements or one of our boys has been acting out, the teachers and admin are involved with the parents in how to solve the behavior in the most appropriate way for that child. We love Gateway and only wish our boys could stay there longer!”

Leah D.

“For nearly a year now, my children have been attending Gateway, and I must say, every moment has been an absolute joy. The exceptional care and dedication of the staff have left a lasting impression on us. Each person I’ve encountered at Gateway has been nothing short of amazing, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a remarkable experience for our family. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!”

Chelsey P.

“This place is so amazing! My daughter went here at a young age. She was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at the time that she was at Gateway. The staff was so helpful and amazing and my daughter enjoyed coming everyday. Now my 3-year-old son goes here and he loves it. I am amazed with how well he has adapted to this place. He feels like he’s at home. He always asks when are we going back. They all treat him so well. I couldn’t hope for a better staff! Thank you!”
