Our experience at Autumn’s Gate was nothing short of amazing! My nieces and I attended their open house this past weekend on 10/24, and from the moment we walked in, Director Haley and her team welcomed us with open arms.
I brought my 4-year-old niece and my 6-year-old niece, who is autistic, Level 3, and nonverbal. During our visit, we were given a tour of the farm, and both girls had the opportunity to sit on the ponies and help groom them. They had such a wonderful experience.
If you have a child with additional support needs, you understand that visiting a new place filled with activities, excitement, and unfamiliar surroundings can sometimes come with its own set of challenges. My 6-year-old niece was taking everything in, full of curiosity and excitement, and Haley and her team were absolutely wonderful in meeting her where she was. They were patient, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating of her needs and personality. As someone who wants the very best for her niece, seeing her welcomed and included so naturally meant more than I can put into words.
What stood out most was that the kindness didn't feel forced or performative. Haley and her team made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and excited about what is to come. Communication has also been wonderful as we prepare to begin lessons in the coming weeks.
I cannot recommend Autumn’s Gate enough, especially to families looking for an environment where their children can feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to explore new experiences. We are so excited to begin this next chapter with them, and I am incredibly grateful to have found a place that has already made such a positive impression on our family.
Thank you, Haley, Kirsten, and the entire Autumn’s Gate team, for being so wonderful!
