Greetings!
Welcome to Gateway Academy preschool at Columbine in Littleton, Colorado. Our preschool is conveniently located at the corner of Pierce and Coal Mine in Littleton. We recently celebrated our ten year anniversary and can’t believe we have alumni who are getting their driver’s licenses!
Many of our teachers have been with us since we opened and are so passionate about caring for and developing the children in their classroom. Our preschool offers child care and educational development for infants through pre-kindergarten.
Creative Kaleidoscope of Learning is our curriculum program which includes; Zoo-Phonics, Math Their Way, Baby Signs, and Spanish. These programs, along with our monthly themed lessons, help develop the whole child.
We also have the best Before and After School Program in Littleton that includes Homework Club. Jefferson and Littleton School Districts ask that each child spends 20 minutes daily reading so we have set up a quiet time for the reading to take place here at Gateway. This allows your child to spend quality time with you at home. We offer free transportation to and from the following elementary schools:
- Normanday Elementary
- Grant Ranch Elementary
- Dutch Creek Elementary
- Leawood Elementary
- Wilder Elementary
- Stoney Creek Elementary
- Columbine Hills Elementary
- Blue Heron Elementary
During the summer, we have a fantastic Summer Camp program where the children will ride the Gateway Bus and take field trips to many fun locations.
We invite you to visit Gateway Academy preschool at Columbine to see, firsthand, all the laughter, love and learning that goes on each day. We can’t wait to meet you and your family!
