Gateway Preschool is a privately owned outreach program of Gateway Church of Visalia. Our purpose is to provide a caring, nurturing and safe place for children between the ages of two through pre-Kindergarten. Our classroom provides your child with unique learning opportunities which enable the children to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, physically and spiritually using their natural abilities, interests and temperaments to develop positive feelings about themselves and their world. Tours available by request.
