Great Beginnings Preschool

My son started going to Great Beginings in 2017, my daughter then joined him after she was born. This is the only daycare that I fully trusted with my kids. Everyone that makes this daycare, is like family. The teachers really are engaged, communicative and observant. When kids are having an off day the teachers shower them with extra love. The directors are really about the kids and making the kids experience the absolute best, from day to day activities to special events like water day, petting zoo, holiday celebrations. I can’t thank them enough for being such a wonderful group and loving my kids like their own. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

This has been absolutely the best preschool my kiddo has gone to. I really wish I’ve known about it sooner so I could have put older siblings in there when they were little. The staff in Goodyear are truly invested in the kids and provide the best education and care. My youngest is now heading to kinder and it’s bittersweet that we are leaving Great Beginnings.

Making the choice to send my children to daycare was a difficult one. My kids had only ever stayed home with me and it was clear socialization was needed. In my head, how could anyone love and care for my kids like I would?
In the search for a school my husband and I found Great Beginings and I am so grateful we did! In our tour I loved how friendly the staff was, how immaculately clean the ENTIRE school was, and that there is an importance placed on God. I love that my children learn Bible verses every week! When we started, my son had a VERY difficult time. He was in tears daily before we left the house and refused to walk into school. The director Ms.Rachelle assured me every morning that he was okay. She gave me a pep talk each day and was so patient and loving during this time. My son’s teacher, Ms.Grace assisted him in adapting to the classroom environment. She would take him from me(he was hysterical)and within minutes have him calm. Every day, both assistant direction, Ms.Marie, and my sons teacher would tell me about his day. It really showed me that everyone cared about my sons well being. He was not just another child. Now, my son walks into school and plays a game with Ms.Grace where he “hides” and she “finds” him. That may seem like a small gesture, however it means so much to my son that Ms.Grace takes that time to play with him before he walks in. He looks forward to it each morning.
My daughter, a confident social butterfly, adjusted more quickly to school. She loves the consistency she gets in class each day. For example, she knows when we get to school it’s either dance or reading time. She is excited once we hit the parking lot to go be with her class. The teachers in her class are so loving and greet her each morning with a smile. She is quick to go to them or join the class, not even offering me a “bye mommy”. I’m okay with that though because that tells me she feels safe, she feels loved, and she wants to be there.
My work takes me to other preschools and let me tell you, Great Beginings is unmatched. Administration (Ms. Rachelle and Ms.Marie) set the bar HIGH and the staff eagerly meets it. They don’t just want kids to come to this school for the money, they want the children to feel loved and cared for while away from their parents. Other schools I have been to have had 6 kids in a 2’s classroom and it was pure chaos. While in my daughters class (also 2’s), they can have 10 and you can’t tell. You wanna know what the difference is? The staff at Great Beginings is dancing with the kids, reading to them, interacting. Not just over on their phone or prepping an activity. Same thing with my sons classroom.
At some point, I think just about every staff has been in one of my kids rooms. Ya know what though? Communication is so astounding between all, no matter what teacher is in your kids classroom they get the same structure, the same love, and the same outstanding care. I cannot imagine having my kids at any other school. Bonus, Great Beginings is so affordable. The other schools I mentioned earlier, way more expensive than Great Beginings. I cannot imagine pay more for subpar care. At Great Beginings the bare minimum is not accepted, greatness is, and it shows in the care my two children get.
You can call anytime of the day and Ms.Rachelle or Ms.Marie can give you an update on your child. The staff is spectacular at communicating both praise or issues that need to be addressed. If there is ever a problem, parents are notified IMMEDIATELY, so they can make choices for their children. I could go on for days about how amazing this school is. In the beginning of this review I told you I wondered how could anyone love or care for my child like I would? I am happy to say, I found just the place. If you want a school that will love your child. That’s will cherish your child. That will care about their health and well-being. That will be immaculately clean so germs don’t get the chance to spread. That will join you in becoming part of your village, then Great Beginings is for you.

Our son has been attending since he was 3. We love the staff and the front office staff very much!! I have never had a problem. Our son is 10 years old now and attends in the summer time. When I leave him at great beginnings my heart is at peace I don't leave worried at all I know and trust that they will take care of him they very much make me feel that I'm leaving my son in very good hands.

Choosing a preschool provider like Great Beginnings is deciding who will be your partner in growing your little one. We are so thankful that we have chosen the right partner this past year for our 4 yr old. We knew we made the perfect choice when we saw the friendly staff, the engaging bible lessons, and awesome activities planned each month. This is a wonderful preschool and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with them this past year.
