School Reviews

Gateway Montessori is amazing. I was employed here for a while, and I have nothing but great things to say. The children are in a seriously caring, loving, and positive learning environment and all of the teachers and adults working in the center really take good care of the children. Your child will be safe and happy here and treated with love and respect. I had to leave for personal reasons but if I had it my way I would still be employed and my children would attend this school as well. The Head of School, Katie is a wonderful person and I am just so happy for the opportunity to work here. Keep up the great work!
