  • This daycare is hands down the best in town. The owner Mel started with my youngest when he was 2 at Playcare when they opened. He then transitioned to golden gateway when they opened. He is now 10 and we had some busing/transportation issues. When I called to see if they could help, they had figured out a way they could fit him into the afterschool program the same day. They are all an amazing bunch of caretakers and have been amazing to children and myself!

  • We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far at Truks n Trykes Golden Gateway. As first-time parents, leaving our infant in someone else’s care was a big step, but the amazing staff made the transition so much easier. The teachers are incredibly caring and accommodating, always making sure our little one is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Everyone we’ve interacted with—from the teachers to the administration—has been so kind and welcoming. It’s clear that they truly love what they do, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing our baby is in such a warm and nurturing environment. We are so grateful to have found this daycare and highly recommend it to any parent looking for exceptional infant care!

  • We absolutely love having our daughter at this daycare! The staff is caring and you can tell my daughter really enjoys being there. The staff always greet her by name and always make you feel so welcome. I love the communication through the app and the consistent updates and pictures that we get daily! Being a first time mom, I was very nervous to put my child in someone else's care but having her at this daycare has definitely eased my worries! I would highly recommend Truks N Trykes Golden Gateway to anybody looking for childcare.

  • Everyone is very welcoming and has a smile on their face. Anytime you have a problem they will help fix it. When our daughter gets dropped off she always runs to the teacher when he's working. They use the brightwheel app and everyday we get several pictures. Very good daycare, the best one we have sent our kids to!

  • We have had a great experience with this daycare! My son loves going in every morning, and I feel he has developed some strong bonds with some of his caregivers. I would recommend this daycare to friends!

  • I have been to other daycares and even another Truks-N-Trykes. This one is by far the best!!! The owner Mel is Amazing and she is always so up beat and happy to see the kids!!! Both my kids have learned so much. I love how when my oldest goes to school they will bus her to and from school so it works with my work schedule. My kids have never had anything bad to say about any of the teachers or anything else.
