Phenomenal pre-k program with ownership and staff that truly care about your child. I love the…read moreamount of time they spend outdoors, special creative projects, and immersive learning themes. My daughter has excelled and as a first time parent with no family in the area, they coached us through major milestones like potty training. I was nervous to leave her on her first week and got pictures and videos to reassure that she was doing well and making new friends. My child looks forward to going to school and we learned how special PB is when we went to a nearby summer program after the school year was over. She asked everyday to go back to PB. They also have special events and shows for holidays. There was even a special Mother's and Father's Day gift that we'll cherish forever.

I have to agree with Liza's review. My biggest regret is not taking my son out of here earlier. It…read moretook almost the entire summer for him to build back the self confidence the female teacher absolutely destroyed. I'm not angry- but want to flag if your kid has issues sitting still, has a mind of his own, or is 0.01% neurodivergent, don't do it. Differences are not encouraged and this place dramatically favors the kids who are most likely to excel (initially) in the tony school districts that surround it. My son is almost 9 and he still talks about what a nightmare his last few months at this place was, but does have good memories of his first year here with the male teacher. My husband wanted to give his last "report card" back to them and I wish we did. Our son has done nothing but thrive in our school district since.

This is an absolute gem. A true nursery for working parents that is run as a nature school. Feel so…read morelucky that we found it, and that both our kids have been able to attend. The teachers and administrator are gifted and loving, the environment is nurturing and my kids have learned and grown so much.

I could not imagine a more warm welcome to a new place for our son, who runs into school every morning and talks about how much he loves his teachers and friends every night. From really creative classroom curriculum to outstanding communication between administration, teachers, and parents, we have confidence that our son is in the place that is best for him. We also have confidence that the Beginnings team is doing everything the right way in regards to keeping the whole community safe and healthy. I highly recommend Beginnings School to other families looking for an engaging and fun place dedicated to thoughtfully educating your children.

The teachers are well-trained to scaffold the most important dimensions of early learning: social-emotional development and self-help skills. Pre-academic tasks are weaved through play and conversation and children are quick to adopt a growth mindset, which is one of the most necessary indicators of future success. I highly recommend Beginnings for any parent or educator looking for a truly special, unique school that will give them or their children the tools needed to thrive.
