Recent parent reviews

  • We feel so lucky to have found Starting Gate! My 3-year-old son looks forward to going there every day, and drop-offs are easy. Miss Amanda and Miss Sarah have created a nurturing space while teaching important social skills like listening, manners, inside voices, and safety. I love that they spend so much time outdoors taking neighborhood walks and playing in the snow. The mixed-age group is also a big plus — my son loves playing with older kids and talking about the babies. He’s made great friends, enjoys creative crafts, and we appreciate the welcoming parent community. I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s safe and well cared for. Highly recommend!
