Mission

The mission of The Learning Gate is to provide affordable, quality care to children while fostering each child’s intellectual, social, and physical development in a stimulating and nurturing environment. 

Inclusion 

The Learning Gate welcomes children and families of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. We celebrate the cultural diversity of our children through many different activities that take place throughout the year. 

Educational Philosophy  

The Learning Gate is committed to the philosophy that all children are natural learners who learn best through hands-on play in a flexible, nurturing environment. Our teachers encourage self-confidence and socialization skills of each child by carefully tracking individual needs and development. 

Commitment to Wellness

The Learning Gate is a sponsor of the Department of Agriculture’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). This program plays a vital role in improving the quality of care by providing nutritious meals and snacks to children on a daily basis. The program promotes the development of basic nutritional concepts and provides nutritious, well-balanced meals while fostering sound, life-long eating habits. Food is provided at no cost to families.
