I registered my daughter here last year and we were so excited for her to start in September 2025. I took her for gradual entry for one hour and she went in and was so happy. when I came back to pick her up I heard the teacher constantly telling her to shhhh. She is only 2.5. She came back crying so bad. She was so traumatized by that teacher. This is a preschool not a university. They cant talk to a child like that. Teacher came to me so angry and aggressive and told me I don't know why they registered her here. I was like it takes a month for a child to adapt to a new environment and its you job to teach her that. I feel like the teacher controls picked at her in that one hour. My daughter cried all day. I don't recommend this place at all. This place is like a military.

Wonderful school and a very satisfied experience. Our daughter joined Gatehouse from Oct 2023, until now it’s around 8 months. We can see very obvious progress and development for both her academic, emotional and other areas.
The school is great and excellent, from the classroom layout, educational tools and materials, and the teaching methodology, most importantly the teachers, they are very professional and considerate for the kids, they use the pure Montessori guide to teach and help kids, make sure the kids can enjoy daily activities and education, develop their independence, meanwhile the teachers also provide assistance and guide if needed.
My daughter is so excited to share with me about her daily school life, what she has learned, which French song she sings, everything about the teachers, friends and her friends. Gatehouse definitely give my daughter quite a lot of positive impact for her development.
I highly recommend Gatehouse Montessori School.
