Great Beginnings believes that early childhood development occurs best in a loving, nurturing environment where active learning is encouraged. We know that your child will develop at a pace which may be completely different from the child sitting next to him/her. Hence, we provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on a child-centered perspective that acknowledges your child as a whole: a social, cognitive, emotional, and physical individual.

Our preschool programs are grouped according to age and with consideration given to four main areas of child-centered development; social, cognitive, emotional, and physical growth. Class sizes are small, usually averaging nine or ten students per teacher. Lessons covered include pre-reading, pre-math, perceptual and cognitive studies, science, social studies, listening and manners, problem solving, music and dance, arts and crafts, physical exercise and outdoor activity time. Classes are conducted in a semi-structured setting, providing discipline, but also encouraging and allowing free choice.

As early educators, we assume the role of teacher, health care provider, counselor, nutritionist and friend to our students. Our child care programs are aimed at ensuring your child is growing the way they should.
