We had a wonderful experience with Connie's in-home daycare in Litchfield Park. I always felt that…read moremy son was safe, cared for, and genuinely loved there. Connie was very understanding during a difficult time for our family and worked with us when we needed to temporarily switch to part-time care. She was communicative, sent updates, and took the time to really get to know my son, even with his speech delay. He loved going there, and I could truly feel the care she showed him every day. If I ever need childcare again, I would re-enroll him in a heartbeat. We feel very lucky to have found Connie!

She is so professional and is very good at communicating anything and everything with you. I love what she feeds them and just all the different activities and not just toys she has there. I love seeing him outside happy with all the other kids. She is really great and I would recommend her in a heart beat!! I appreciate her help with my little one she is absolutely the best!!!

My daughter has amazing qualities to her, she's learned skills and loves talking since they encourage learning here and I couldn't be more grateful to be so fortunate to afford their care because my daughter has been growing up to be SO smart and SO sweet and I know that this daycare has Impacted her in amazing ways that prove to me just how great they are. Thank you for being amazing caregivers to children and being a place parents can trust their kids to be taken care of

My child has been at Wirtzies since he was 6 months old and he's currently a little over 2 years…read moreold. This means I have now experienced childcare in 3 different rooms at this center and at different stages of my child's development. I chose Wirtzies because when we walked the center the assistant director at the time acknowledged children with their names as we walked through. She showed that the staff there would care about my child and treat them like a little human and not just a child. My gut felt that this would be a good place. They offer an inner generational program where the children have time with the elderly adults in their day program. This also was something that was of interest to me. My gut was right. They care about my child. My child has learned so much from them that he wouldn't learn at home. I get pictures and updates from them regularly. There have been incidents where he is hurt or hurts someone else. But you would be hard pressed to find a parent who watches their own child and never gets hurts. You can't watch your child 24 hours a day and neither can they with a state ratio of 5 to 1. They have addressed each incident appropriately. They care about my child and that is worth anything I need to pay them but they are affordable. I know they also offer state subsidized care if needed. My child is happy there. He loves his friends and his teachers. He even loves the ladies at the front desk.

Update! It's been a few months now and my daughter has excelled beyond my expectations. She speaks…read moreso much now! She learned how to express her feelings by communication better. Knows how to follow directions at home. I now love watching her sing and dance by herself. She is excited to go to school in the mornings and gets sad on days she doesn't have school. Andrea and Vanessa have made my daughter feel safe and comfortable. Outstanding teachers/caregivers are very rare. Hats off to Andrea! She just knows what my daughter needs (as if she has known her longer than a few months!) Vanessa with her kind smile, is there to help my daughter feel secure that she can wear her backpack till she's ready to take it off. Seriously, the teamwork that has been developed in this class is what any parent would hope for. To all the other ladies as well, I just wanted to give a huge thank you for guiding my daughter in this class! I am forever grateful! I drive away every morning knowing my daughter is in excellent hands!

Do not send your kids to this school especially if your child is 5. Ms Mandy is not suited to work…read morewith children, no formal training and does as she pleases with the permission of her best friend the director. Please look elsewhere. I'd like to add that if you have had a different experience with this school and the five year old classroom than what my son and I had to endure, that is great. I would never want any child to be treated maliciously, so if you are a lucky parent and she was nice to your children, I am genuinely happy for you. I am speaking from my own experience with this teacher, and my experience was and is still valid. She is lucky I am being vague about what my child had to experience with her as a teacher. I as a parent am writing this review out of genuine concern for every child that enters this school's well being. Beware of biased reviews from friends of teachers at this school who do not have the children's best interest at heart, and instead are leaving reviews to help their friend's egos.

I have had the pleasure of being apart of the GB family for almost six years. Every single one of…read moremy kids have been through their doors. It's saddening to see a review that talks illy about the 5's teacher. I hope that if you read that review, then you also read this one as well. Great Beginnings has been nothing but a pleasure to be apart of. Day in and day out, I know that the people in that place are filled with light and God's glory. Their intent is to raise up a child in the ways they should go, "Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go;". There has NEVER been a moment where I did not trust or depend on a GB teacher to guide my children accordingly. Specifically, Ms. Mandy has prepared 2/3 of my kids for pre-k and has done nothing but a wonderful job. She has challenged them, loved on them, and prepared them to know what to expect in Kindergarten. (And I'm not sure if you know what the education system is like nowadays but it's ROUGH). Realizing that there are moments where she needed to be tough to ensure that my child would be successful was apart of my job as the PARENT. I knew for a fact that she had no ill intent. She is HIGHLY qualified for the job, as both of my boys are gifted in Math. Let me echo this again, She knows what she is doing. I have recommended countless families to GB and will continue to do so. Pleasing everyone in this world is impossible. But, I can vouch and say that GB is one of the best places you can bring your child if you're looking for curriculum that is filled with the truths of God and love of Jesus, teachers who know what they are doing and enjoy it, and a place that you can trust.

Thank you, thank you! We are so grateful we found BSP in 2021 as visiting other places left us uneasy. However, walking into BSP and meeting Ms Carmela and the other amazing teachers, left us with a sense of relief. Then when our kids started, the teachers kindness/support towards all the children and staff's great communication with parents only reinforced our decision. Both our kids graduated from BSP! Our most recent just this last Fall. Our kids loved their teachers and friends. It's like a little family that was created with the kids and parents. My husband and I are so grateful to all the teachers and staff! Thank you for academically preparing our kids! Thank you for your kindness and respect.
