I can't say enough good words about this school!…read more My son has been going there for almost a year, he started when he turned 20 months. He has always been a very shy kid, and school experience was challenging for him. All the school staff were extremely attentive and helpful during his transition period. His first teacher, Ms Megan, always hugged him when he came and spoke in soft voice to make him feel comfortable. I was amazed how my son changed in the school. I couldn't believe my eyes when after a couple of months I saw him running from the car to go to school! It's also impressive to see all creative and development activities they do. My son learned all his letters and numbers, he learned shapes and colors even before going to the next age group. Most importantly, he learned to love making art and create! Ms Crystal and Ms K from his next age group are incredible, they both know each child very well and have individual approach to each of them. We had to leave the school after moving to another state, and now I have a very challenging task to find another place with such a warm and loving atmosphere and great teachers, like in Goddard School in Concord.

Ok...come on, my child decided to pack his own lunch and didn't put any meat with his lunch and of course his parent was pulled to the side and was scolded. If the lunch standards were so strict then maybe the school should consider preparing it themselves and give the parents a break, plain & simple.

I have four children here an infant (never once had a diaper rash & always happy), Twins in the toodler class and a little one in their preschool program! This is truly a wonderful place with loving and caring providers and teachers. They even potty trained my preschooler!!!! They love these children like their own! They keep the facility super clean and the cook here is phenomenal! You are so special to this place. The food is always fresh and home cooked. They serve a delicious variety for your children! The entire staff is supportive and welcoming. I appreciate this place and trust my children here and you can trust them as well. They have cameras you can see your kids anytime of the day and they send you constant updates and pictures through out the day to keep you informed and engaged. There is nothing more satisfying then handling the stresses of life and work knowing that your children are safe and in good hands. This is an extraordinary group of providers that set the standard of excellence in childcare and early education! Thank all of you for everything you do to make this place a home atmosphere away from home for all our children. I feel truly blessed to have found this hidden gem Braxton Family

My son was enrolled here for 8 months. I enrolled him when he was 18 months. The location was…read moreconvenient and they had openings for his age group. Also my 13 year old niece attended this center when she was a toddler so I felt comfortable. Boy oh boy was I in for a huge disappointment! I don't even know where to begin. After the third month of enrollment, I started looking for a new facility to place my son. It took another 3 months to find somewhere I felt was suitable and we had to wait 2 more months until the fall semester before he could start there. Hence the 8 months stay at gateway. So this place has an incredible staff turn over. In the 8 months my son was there, literally 8 staff members left or quit or were fired. It was unbelievable! Every few weeks we would get an email informing us that miss so and so is no longer with the center and miss xyz will be starting soon. Sure enough as soon as miss xyz started the cycle would repeat. There was one teacher who was there in the mornings when I dropped my son off and she smelled like marijuana. It blew my mind! How the heck do you come to work at 7am with the stench of weed? The facility opens at 6:30 but is never staffed. I usually dropped my son off at 7am and there was only one teacher there. All the kids from all age groups had to stay with her until the other teachers wandered in between 8:30 and 9am. I'm pretty sure thats a state violation. I came to drop my son off one morning and the teacher was sitting in the classroom moisturizing her feet and taking great care to concentrate on her heels. I was grossed out and pissed. She did wash her hands afterwards but I don't feel that this should have been done at the table where the kids eat their meals. When you have a question for one of the teachers the only response you get is 'I don't know mom. I wasn't there this morning. I just came into the class 30 minutes ago.' At one point I just stopped asking. I brought bug spray to be used on my son. Of course it was NEVER applied. He came home every day with huge bumps from insect bites. The next day I would remind the teacher hey there is bug spray and a permission slip for my son, and l would pick him up again with you guessed it.....bug bites. So I started to drop him off with long pants only. If I did put shorts on him I would douse him with spray when I dropped him off. So they boast water play every Friday in the summer. The first official day, I dropped my son off with his swim clothes, and a change of clothes and his shoes in a bag. I come to pick him up early (thank god) because he has an appointment and he's in the class barefoot. Ok so I'm livid. The teacher said to me 'you didn't send a change of clothes or shoes for him.' I said yes. I gave it to the teacher this morning when I dropped him off. And she said " Well I don't start till 9 so I don't know." Ok that's besides the point. If you think I didn't bring a change of clothes and shoes why on earth didn't you call me and say hey mom we need shoes for your baby? Are you that dense? All the while the bag with my son's clothes and shoes were sitting on his cubby! So my sons last day was on Fri August 24th. I go back to gateway on Monday the 27th to pick up the rest of his belongings and the expensive SSS bug spray that they never bothered using on him. The spray is no where to be found. Only the permission slip and bag that held the spray are in the bin. One teacher asks another if she's seen the spray and she replies "its in my bag." I'm thinking it's in a bag with other odds and ends with class room stuff. Well just when I thought this place and the staff couldn't get lower the teacher comes and retrieves the spray from her purse. She said to me she had to put it up or they would throw it out. I take the bottle and it's pretty much empty. I'm wondering why because the spray was never used on my son. I was so pissed and disgusted. When does this place hit bottom? I could go on and on about this place with all the stories I heard from other parents but I guess it wouldn't make a difference. I'm so glad my son is out of there. Today was his fourth day at his new daycare and he's doing so well. If I could give any advice or would be to stay away from gateway.

Ms. Maureen was my son's teacher when he was in the three year old class. She made the class fun and rewarding. It made me wish that we had sent our daughter ( his older sister) there for the three year old program instead of just the four year old program. Our children both had Ms. Julie for the four-year old class and they LOVED her. She had a way of tapping into their artistic side and letting them explore their imaginations through play and art. They also had a religious education and a physical fitness program that was included with tuition. Both of my children are now in elementary school and are exceeding our expectations with their academic abilities. I have to credit Stepping Stones for laying the foundation for their success. It is what Kindergarten used to be. Getting children ready for school while teaching them how to get along.
