What People Are Saying
…we loved Beginnings and would recommend the school to anyone looking to find a safe and nurturing place
for your little one to start their learning journey.
Toddler 2 teachers rock!
He loves going to daycare, and has formed special relationships with his teachers and classmates. The environment is safe, food is healthy,
and staff are warm and friendly. His days typically include outside time, music, reading, nap time, and art projects.
It is great that this is a non profit daycare and there is a board that can be joined if one would like to implement change.
