Gateway EduCare
Infant Center and Preschool

A non-profit organization.

“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them,
for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”
  Matthew 19:14
 
It is the primary mission of the EduCare Center that each child and member of their family will recognize Jesus as one who loves them unconditionally the way they are and that he wants to know each one personally.  That educating their child begins at birth and is a joint venture between the child, their family, and our staff.  It is also our mission that when children exit our program, they will do so with heads held high knowing that they are loved and will make a difference in our community.

Our Philosophy

We believe that each child is a unique individual and that childhood should be treasured, not hurried.  And that every child has the right to an environment that will enrich his/her life by appropriate educational and play experiences.  We believe in developing trusting relationships with children through a predictable and consistent environment.  We believe when a seed is planted and families place Christ in the center of their lives that they will grow.  We recognize our responsibility to love your child as you would and provide for their emotional as well as physical needs.  We believe that early intervention is the key to school readiness.
