Columbia Falls Kids Foundation

Gateway to Early Learning, housed and partnered with the Columbia Falls Kids Foundation, founded by Donald J. Bennett, President of Freedom Bank here in Columbia Falls, MT. 

Gateway to Early Learning offers updated amenities, carefully chosen materials and equipment, and professional Early Childhood Educators making up our team. Within our versatile location, families can find resources beyond high quality childcare and Early Childhood learning opportunities. Our program follows research based education philosophies and practice, offering the youngest generation within our community the best start to their educational career.

Housed upstairs is the Boys and Girls Club of Glacier Country, offering older siblings after school care and summer care, this program has valuable scholarships for families who are eligible making their amazing service even more accessible to families in the community. 

Down the hall from our Preschool space is Land to Hand, a Non Profit organization offering a variety of services to the community such as a community food bank! This program has big plans to bring to our building and to the families within the Columbia Falls Kids Foundation.
