My son has been at Great Beginnings for a year now, but several months in it was very clear that he was flourishing so much there. He started at 2 years old with very limited vocabulary, but within a few months he was very talkative. The staff has always been very kind and attentive. It can be uneasy to be away from your child at such a young age, but we always know he is in good hands there. There is a variety of activities for the kids to do, all while balancing learning and play. My son always usually comes home in a good mood after spending the day there. We highly recommend Great Beginnings!

We love Great Beginnings! Our child started in the younger kids campus and then moved onto the older kids campus and has had unbelievably positive experiences throughout. The teachers are constantly coming up with creative activities to build on the kids’ specific interests. The outdoor area is large and friendly and the kids spend so much quality time outside. You can’t go wrong sending your children to Great Beginnings, where the teachers are caring, actively engaged, and help foster creativity and independence in all the kids!

My daughter has thrived at Great Beginnings. As a single mom, I need all the support I can get and Great Beginnings has definitely helped me and my kiddo through the last year. The teachers are caring and knowledgeable, and I really appreciate their unique approach to each child’s development. Couldn’t be happier to see my child grow at this center! 🥰

Great Beginnings Early Learning Center is an excellent center, immersing children in a world of creativity and learning, and the carefully crafted music subtly guides their young minds. This comprehensive approach to education in a Nature Preschool setting provides a truly inspiring environment for pre-kindergarten children to thrive and develop. My daughter has thrived there for the last two years. Couldn’t recommend enough.

We highly recommend Great Beginnings. Our two daughters spent a total of five years here and we absolutely loved the staff, environment, organization and genuine care that the school provides. Our kids have learned so much, made so many friends and they truly loved being there every day. Thank you all so much we will always be grateful for our time together.
