Preschool Parent Reviews
We sincerely appreciate all of the kind words from these Parent Reviews. We encourage you to read the Parent Reviews for Gateway Academy below. We are also happy to connect you with one of our current parents via e-mail or phone so you can get their feedback on what we believe is the top preschool around!
I wanted to tell you how much I have appreciated how much the teachers, Ms. Kim, Ms. Erin and Mr. Jesse, are doing in the classroom with Bryn. Every day I can tell that they are teaching her new things, from the alphabet, singing, art, dramatic play, structure, and listening skills. I know there is much more that I know that they do from what Bryn tells us, but I think it is all fantastic! Every day when we pick up Bryn she has something to say about what they did. She loved doing the artwork! And then we can tell how much she is learning when the artwork is like making a duck using the letter “D” as the body. Then she knows that duck starts with D. She is learning something in multiple ways. I love how much they ar teaching. We have found that Bryn always wants to learn and it is great that they are helping to facilitate that during the time that she is at Gateway. It is great that they share what they are doing so when we are home we can practice and help Bryn learn as well. I feel like they are a great team of teachers and are doing a great job! I would like to nominate Ms. Kim, Ms. Erin and Mr. Jesse for a customer service award. I truly appreciate all that they are doing to help challenge Bryn every day.

I wanted to let you know how much I love going to pick Alex up from P2 now and hearing all about his day. Mr. Jesse always shows me that day’s art project and seems so excited to share silly stories about the kids, and Ms. Erin gives me a great rundown of how the day went, who he played with, what he seemed the most excited about, how is mood was…all things that I love knowing about. I know they put a lot on the communicator sheets, but having that personal touch and hearing the little stories is very comforting to me. I miss my guy terribly during the day and I love to hear what his day was like. Especially now that he’s taking so much more it is also fun and helpful to us to go home and I have the nuggets of his day to “talk” about with him.
The transition into P2 seems to have gone really well and I think that Alex is really going to grow and learn so much in this room. Unfortunately I don’t get to see Ms. Kim much, but when I do talk to her on the phone she is so nice and helpful as well. We all totally adored Ms. Lori and I was sad to leave her room, but I couldn’t be happier with how things are going in P2.
If you could pass that along to them that would be great, and I plan to tell both of them when I pick Alex up this afternoon, too. I was just driving home yesterday after hearing all about how his first day back after being sick and it dawned on me that I didn’t have to probe for anything, they both just seemed eager to fill me in. and I really appreciated that.
