Hi, my name is Cathy Basta and I am so excited to get to know your two year olds this year! I can’t wait to support them as they grow and develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally, but most of all to enjoy our time together. I have recently retired from Northside School here in Fairport where I worked as a Paraprofessional for over 15 years. I am delighted to join the Gateway Family and look forward to work in the two year old group.

I began teaching at Gateway in 2021 in the afternoon 4’s classroom. I live in Fairport with my husband, Dan, and our three children, Grady (age 11), Camille (age 8), and Juliette (age 6). We also have a dog named Maple and a cat named Pete. Our family loves to spend time outside together, and we’re often found on the baseball and soccer fields!

Prior to joining Gateway, I was home raising our kids when they were young, and volunteering in their classrooms whenever possible. I also have a professional background in Corporate Communications and Public Relations. I truly enjoy spending time with children, and I am excited to continue working with four-year-olds this year!

  • Color: Blue
  • Food: Sushi

  • Candy: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • Hobbies: Gardening, hiking/walking, reading, playing with my kids

I have been a longtime fan of Gateway! I am an alum, as well as my two older children, Nora (age 9) and Billy (age 7). My youngest son, Joey (age 2.75) is starting at Gateway this year. I began teaching here in 2021 and had a blast in the 3’s classroom! I’m really looking forward to teaching 4’s this year. I have a passion for teaching and have my masters in Inclusive Education. Prior to staying home with my children, I taught 7th and 8th grade special education in West Irondequoit. I currently lead a community program for people with disabilities called Friends and Fun, and hold a board position on the Brooks Hill PTA. The classroom is one of my favorite places to be!

Heather Wurzer

Hi, my name is Heather Wurzer. This is my 14th year teaching at Gateway! I have loved each and every year and feel extremely lucky to be in the classroom with these amazing, bright, and energetic kiddos alongside the other incredible Gateway teachers. I am very passionate about teaching and guiding students, especially in this age group. Four year olds are so eager to learn, and their enthusiasm is contagious! Not to mention, they are so funny! It’s a privilege to help prepare them academically and socially for their next adventure in kindergarten. Every day is so rewarding and makes me grateful to be a Gateway teacher and a part of the Fairport community. 
I lived in Fairport for 18 years until about 4 years ago when my husband and I moved just a few minutes north to Webster to enjoy lake life. We have 3 grown children who are busy building their careers in Virginia, Utah, and Pennsylvania. We love when they come back to visit and have a lot of fun traveling to spend time with them in their exciting new cities!
