Best place ever! You can tell the staff genuinely care for the kids. Love the curriculum. My son has been here since he was 15 months old and is now 4. You will not have to worry about your kids when they are in the hands of Ms. Tiqua and Kamya 💕 I have been other places and you definitely get what you pay for here. It’s going to be hard to have to leave next year when he starts kindergarten
Rachel RobinsonApr 2, 2026The Academy is a great, fun, friendly place! They have great academic programs that really help your children. I would highly recommend. Coming from a mom that wasn’t sure if her child was going to get his shapes and colors right when we started to praising him each day because he knows everyone of them! Makes my mom heart happy! 😃
B MilesApr 2, 2026When I tell you that my son was in great hands….he was in great hands. First few weeks were rough for him since it was all new to him. By the time he graduated, he was potty trained and learned so much. Now that he’s in kindergarten, he still asks to get dropped off at the day care. Service members moving to the area, get on the list asap! The military covers most of the monthly fee. I do want to thank the staff for being extremely helpful and caring. My son will definitely remember his wonderful time there.
Cesar SernaAug 31, 2025Let me start off by saying - today I had to give our 2 week notice of my daughter’s last day at Academy of Gateway. Not because we chose to leave, but because my daughter is starting kindergarten the following week. When I say I have been dreading this day for weeks it does not even begin to explain how bittersweet it is to leave our AoG family! After multiple unfortunate situations where my daughter’s needs and growth were not being met - at 2 other childcare facilities, we decided to give AoG a tour. From the tour, to enrollment, and my daughter’s time at AoG these last few years have been an absolute godsend. The growth my daughter experienced was amazing to witness. Academy of Gateway clearly takes pride in their staffing because they are nothing short of amazing. We will miss our AoG family tremendously! Special thank you’s to Ms. Leanna, Ms. Asia, and Mr. Horace. But all of the AoG staff have been incredible to our little girl these last few years. (I just don’t know everyone’s name) Thank you to the ladies that coordinate it all and make it happen, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Tiqua, and Ms. Cheyenne - for assuring my girl is always taken care of. Your professionalism and love never went unnoticed. ❤️ It’s not goodbye, it’s see ya later. Thank you again for all that you have done for my wild child. -The Devericks Family
Cassi DevericksAug 1, 2025The Academy of Gateway has been a blessing to my family’s lives! As a first time mom, dropping off my toddler at daycare was hard on me, but they all have shown such love and kindness towards me and my son since his first day at daycare. I am at ease whenever I drop him off in the morning on the way to my job and I look forward to picking him up because every one is always so cheerful and full of smiles! Every single person has been so attentive to his needs, and the communication they have towards their students families are behind excellent! Their facility is beautiful, clean and organized and I can tell it’s so much fun for the kids and staff!! I know I can trust them with the care for my son. The Academy of Gateway is honestly one of the best daycare facilities in the Murfreesboro/Rutherford area!!! 10/10!!!
Roshetta NewberryMar 13, 2024We have nothing but great things to say about the Academy of Gateway! The teachers and management were always so kind and polite. If we had questions or concerns, they were always met w/ no hesitation. There is a genuine love they have for the kids/students there. I always felt at ease with dropping my daughter off with them and knew she was receiving the best attention and care. I know we as a family will truly miss the family of Academy of Gateway.
