We love Great Beginnings! We've experienced almost every teacher and room at this daycare. The kids were happy to go every day and sometimes said they weren't ready to be picked up yet. They offer activities like sports, dance, and gymnastics, allowing kids to experience new things during the day. They have a parents' night out and a tuition 'vacation' week once you've attended for a year. The staff is responsive to questions and concerns.

They genuinely care for each child’s safety, growth, and development...
This is our son’s second summer at Great Beginnings, and we couldn’t be happier with their daycare services and curriculum. They genuinely care for each child’s safety, growth, and development.

There have been times when he’s been upset at pickup because he was having so much fun and didn’t want to leave!

Great Beginnings has so many positives: caring teachers, a well-rounded curriculum for all ages, consistent communication from management, and a bright and welcoming environment.

We have been using this daycare/preschool for a little over 2 years now and couldn't be happier! All the teachers take a great interest in our children; they have been flexible with working with us. They have revamped the menu to much more wholesome and healthy meal choices! My kids are super happy here, and they also have the live feed camera system to peek in and see what your kids are up to!
