Opening Doors to Imagination
Our preschool program is built upon the importance of fostering education in every child while celebrating their individuality and reaching their potential. We know that children thrive on routines, so we develop a flexible schedule that accommodates accommodating naps, meals, and playtime. This program is intended to promote a love for learning in your child that will last a lifetime.
What to Expect
At Great Beginnings, we understand that entrusting your child to the care of others can be a difficult decision. Our goal as caretakers is to provide the highest quality environment for little ones to thrive in preschool, while also providing parents with the peace of mind that their child is safe, happy and in great hands.

Our Program
Preschoolers are curious, with a natural desire to learn new things and become more independent. Our program helps each child feel safe and secure without pressure to do emotional or physical tasks that are too difficult. Children are given ample opportunity to explore and experiment so that they can learn about many new things and relate them to the experiences, knowledge, and skills they have already developed.
