About Gardengate Academy Preschool in Natick

Welcome to Gardengate Academy, a high-quality preschool and daycare in Natick, MA, offering a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarten students. We provide a strong foundation for early childhood education through our innovative, skill-based Ascend Curriculum, personalized to support each child’s developmental milestones.

Ascend Curriculum

At Gardengate Academy, we are committed to preparing children for success at every stage of their development. That’s why we follow the Ascend Curriculum, a flexible and individualized early learning program that builds essential skills across multiple domains.

Our Ascend Curriculum supports growth in:

• Literacy
• Science & Sensory
• Technology
• Physical Fitness
• Cultural Understanding

This research-based curriculum is designed to move each child forward on their unique learning path. Teachers tailor activities to match a child’s current skill level and interests, ensuring every student is engaged, supported, and challenged—all while having fun.

Skills are introduced at a developmentally appropriate but challenging pace. Rather than comparing children to their peers, our educators focus on identifying where a child is and helping them take the next step confidently. This personalized approach encourages self-confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

We offer early childhood education and care for children aged 8 weeks to 5 years:

• Infant Program (8 weeks – 12 months)
• Toddler Program (1 – 2 years)
• Preschool Program (2 – 3 years)
• Pre-Kindergarten Program (4 – 5 years)

Each classroom is thoughtfully designed to support hands-on learning, creativity, and exploration. Our low student-to-teacher ratios ensure your child receives the attention and care they need to thrive.
