I'd looked at other schools but they were too close to the theory and not keeping up with the practice. Now I teach here. I've done the classes for the past 15 years as a part time job. It's still relevant and the people involved are the ones with their fingers on the pulse of the practice. So much is what is considered best practice.

In my 30 mins time - I made a lot of improvements and I was very happy. After the trial, I decided to take up a 6-month membership which includes 2 classes per week (overall cheaper). My only wish that if there would be a weekday option then it would be great.

This center is by far the BEST center and the ONLY center I want my children to go to. Miss Amanda…read moreand Miss Lori and their staff are truly UNBELIEVABLE. I have been taking my oldest son here for 2 and a half years and our youngest, who is now 6 months old, has been enrolled since 12 weeks. This center is beyond clean, BEYOND friendly and the teachers have taught my kiddos more than I ever could. They send me pictures, videos and potty updates all day long! During this COVID19 pandemic, this center was deemed essential. We are more than grateful and proud of the safety precautions they have taken to ensure our boys are safe and sound and HAPPY. If I can't have the boys home with me, there is no other place I would want them to be than in the care of these talented and loving individuals. To me, they are our family. If I could give this center a million stars, I would.

A couple of weeks prior to my child being neglected and not being changed Timely, I had informed…read morethis Daycare owner that my child had been diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum! This is why my child is 4 years old and not completely potty-trained! The KinderCare just up the street understands this issue... And never blamed my child for any neglect because they didn't neglect him. Great Beginnings did. I have never brought my child there with a rash! He had a wound on his leg because this daycare did not change him for however long! So the audacity of the owner trying to shift the blame on my child not being potty trained is absolutely ridiculous... Considering he's been in several other daycares where this has not been an issue, I know where the blame lies. So we can go back and forth on this issue until we make it to court! Because I still have the pictures the day it happened. And that's the exact day I told these people my son would no longer attend this daycare! I just so happen to take him home and find the wound after. He had been giving me signals of abuse previously that I didn't understand until I found this wound. My child can't speak for himself , so I have to be the one to do so. This daycare knows that my son was unable to speak for himself... Which gave them license to neglect him! KinderCare down the street and NEVER neglected him. Or tried to blame him for his delays in speech and development! How dare you! You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not the first parent to figure you out. The fact that you thought you could blame an innocent child shows how disgusting you are. And that you shouldn't be caring for any children. Let's ask KinderCare to provide their assessment of my child! Or the primary school he currently attends! You would look absolutely foolish! You stating that I brought my son in with a rash is an absolute LIE! If this had ever been an issue previously, why would I have said anything? He's never had a rash... And you have never reported a rash! I asked why an incident report wasn't drawn up. And the response was,' oh we hope Jax is okay why don't you come in and discuss the situation'... the reply to my initial review was an absolute lie!(ref attached )If that were the case you would have responded to my first inquiry with your phony fact! The fact that you say you can't attend to a child with special needs every half hour- just shows you were/are not equipped for the special needs that you were advised of! Which the next day there was an Autism pamphlet near the check-in! Was that some type of help? I was told that there was a speech therapy program?? Okay then why did I have to have my son assessed Elsewhere for you to understand he had speech issues for his age? There was also a teacher that previously worked there who was the only one to mention this... A week later she was gone. So this place doesn't like to employee people with actual credentials that want to help children. I think this is a place where people pass through when they realize their skills are better utilized to actually help children..., rather than neglect them for time management purposes. It's a good thing I took my child out of there! I would never step foot in this place again! So much so that I have to send my own posted envelope to get a tax document that could easily be uploaded, or sent in the mail. But because the owner is so difficult, and wants to control people is my opinion. Better me send the postage, then go up there and say what I have to say to their faces. Also I would have to record the whole incident because these people can't be trusted. Like I said before if you love your children, don't send them here. I won't go up there because I do love my child... Enough to have taken him out of that place, as well as not put myself in a situation to get in an altercation and end up in jail! I am livid that this person would actually try to say 4 months later that I brought my son in with a rash! Care to take dueling lie detector test? I'm ready! Kindercare can even attest to the fact prior to my son attending Great Beginnings, he never had rash issues despite the potty training! That's a fact. I have facts and this place has deflection. I guess they thought since my mom picked up my son the majority of the time, I would overlook this incident. But I will continue to defend my son against Any Lies! The nerve of a child caregiver, blaming an innocent child for their neglect. Had someone never appointed this ridiculous place out to me, I would have put my son back in KinderCare as I planned initially... good thing also I put him back in KinderCare in November after the incident... And they only reiterated what a true daycare it's supposed to be like... How it is supposed to function for the good of the children, and how special needs are addressed with attention, and CARE. Not neglect. Or excuses!

We were hesitant to send our child to Great Beginnings after reading all the negative reviews but…read morewe're glad we gave them a chance. We signed on during the transitional period and it was messy but they've proven themselves to be very hospitable and welcoming to us.

Make sure you read the signage fir what suite they are in. Facility was clean and staff was professional. My main complaint was that at one point there were multiple people talking just outside the exam room. It was only a few minutes, but was distracting. I was already nervous and this broke my concentration. Also, when finishing the exam it wasn't clear what I should do. They walked me through a suite to the exam room, and the room I was in had two doors to it. I couldn't remember which one I came in after I finished the exam. I sat there for a few minutes than tried raising my hand. It was a few more minutes till someone came to get me. They seemed a bit confused until I told them I was done. They walked me out without issue. So, not bad, but was annoying since I was very nervous about my exam. I wish they had signs or told me what to do when I finished the exam. Also a clear way to report of there was too much noise. There were earplugs, but I didn't want to mess with the bag it was in. Next time I might just put them on from the beginning.
