I used Great Beginnings MANY years ago. Both of my boys went there and I never had any issues. Jeremy and Kyle are no in their 30s and if I had to so it all over I would be calling Ms Peggy and her staff!!!

I didn’t take my child there, but I had to do some business with them, which gave me the opportunity to interact with the staff and teachers. They were all wonderful people and true professionals.

We moved to great beginnings when my oldest was 9 months old on a coworkers recommendation. We had previously been at a chain daycare and had a VERY bad experience. I appreciate the small classroom sizes reducing sicknesses and really targeting development. The pre-k kids come out very prepared for school which I appreciate. Just this morning I was shown the sign language alphabet. Lastly my son had a medical emergency at school one day and I they handled it perfectly. The staff there are incredible.

Our family loves Great Beginnings. My oldest started around 18 months old and now our youngest started at 3 months. The teachers are very welcoming and it’s clear they truly care for the children. It really feels like a family. The office staff are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend GB to any family looking for child care that provides peace of mind.

By far the greatest daycare in pittsburgh, we been here for the past 6 years, all 6 of our children currently go here. From ages 6 months to 11 years old. They have great staff, they are respectful, loving people, and your children receive the attention that every parent hopes for when leaving their child at a day care. Great beginnings is one of the best choices we’ve ever made, hands down!
