Welcome to Gateway Academy Child Development Centers! 

At Gateway Academy we take advantage of the wonderful South Carolina weather with lots of planned outdoor activities on our playgrounds.  We offer 3 separate playgrounds designed to allow for active play, exploration and individualized activities for each age-group.

Our amazing 10,000 square foot school features 8 custom designed classrooms where children have ample space for learning centers, yet still can maintain a cozy atmosphere that feels like home. Each classroom has large vision window that allows you to see from room to room. 

Our curriculum program, Creative Kaleidoscope of Learning, features Zoo-Phonics®, Block Handwriting, Math Their Way, Baby Signs®, Country and Culture, Spanish, and monthly themes around which we plan our Art, Science and Sensory, and Literature programming. 

Nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are prepared by our wonderful cook.  Meals and snacks are included in the weekly tuition fee.

We offer care and programs for children ages six weeks through twelve years old and offer free transportation to area schools for children kindergarten - 5th grade.

On behalf of all our wonderful teachers I invite you to stop by our school - we would enjoy meeting you and your family!
