Testimonials:

                   “We would like you to know that we are very thankful to Gateway and their patience, persistence, and devotion that they give each child.  Brad (name has been changed) as you all remember was handful to deal with when he first started.  He came from the foster care system and was abused and neglected from his parents.  When he first came to your daycare he was exhibiting some serious behavioral issues.  We were very concerned that he would not be able to stay on numerous occasions because of his hitting, refusal to participate in activities, and overall “attitude.”  Now it is nine months later and we are pleased to say that with all of your hard work and patience he has turned out to be an overall good kid. 
He will be entering kindergarten this year and we feel if it weren’t for your daycare and the staff Brad would never have made the strides he has to be in a “regular” kindergarten class.  There were concerns about [a] year ago regarding his academic level and behavioral issues and the need to be on an IEP; however at this point he will be with all the other kindergarten child and not on an IEP!
Lastly, we have been very impressed with the structure of the classroom, the art and craft projects, and the overall dedication and commitment by the daycare staff.  We are very thankful to you.”    -2009
