Our daughter loves her teachers at Early Beginnings. I had such anxiety about going back to work, but I know my baby is in good hands with all the teachers. I also love the effort the staff there puts into events, day to day activity. They do take parents suggestion/concerns/feedback positively. Its very clean and well maintained by all Teachers. I would highly recommend Early Beginnings.

I couldn't be happier with all the staff at Early Beginnings.. they are super professional, friendly and always smiling. My son is extremely happy when I leave him in school, he kisses and hugs everybody there. it's the perfect environment for him and makes me feel super comfortable that he is taken care like he would be with his own family at home. Thanks for making this Day Care experience smooth.

My daughter has been attending Early Beginnings since last June. She has loved it since day one and is excited to begin the day when I drop her off. The teachers are caring and attentive. She has learned a great deal and I am pleased with her progress. I have peace of mind when I drop her off in the morning knowing that she is well cared for.
