At East Gate Kids we recognize a child's individuality while honoring the kind of upbringing a parent desires.
When we, as parents, choose to pursue a career or desire a better life for ourselves and our children, choosing a childcare provider is an important step in our child's life.
We provide a safe, nurturing environment with positive staff and child interactions.
We center our curriculum on meeting the child's developmental needs through assessments, observations and age appropriate learning through play.
The children will experience hands on play while being equipped with skills needed to get ready for school.
