  Both of my kiddos attended this preschool for two years each, and we always felt they were safe and cared for. The director and teachers were attentive and responsive to the kiddos and their needs. Both kids learned to write their names at just 3 years old, had homework that prepared them well for elementary school, and even got to help with a garden project that is still going strong! It was also reasonably priced, and overall we had a positive experience with the nurturing environment.

  Absolutely love this preschool! Our son had the best experience here when he was 2 and 3. Lana is organized and communicative in running the place, Miss Martina is so creative and caring in the school’s program, and Miss Melissa is such a kind, thoughtful teacher. We were impressed by all the extra activities and projects, from weekly music class to growing a beautiful school garden to an epic water slide during summer camp. Amazing place!

  Great Beginnings has truly been the best thing to happen to our family. My daughter started going here last year after her school closed down last minute. My husband and I researched and visited a plethora of schools but when I walked in to Great Beginnings I just knew that this school would be amazing. I was so impressed by how clean the school and classrooms are. The staff, admin and teachers are amazing.. my daughter has had the pleasure of being in Ms. Jeanne's class and what a treat it has been. Ms. Jeanne has encouraged my 4 year into reading, math and creativity. My daughter is a completely different person walking out of Great Beginnings from when she started. She has the confidence, she has the ability to articulate her needs, she knows what she wants and I attribute a lot of it to Great Beginnings. I am so grateful for the staff like Ms. Martina for her always making sure we are doing ok, for responding quickly and her patience. I cannot wait to send my next child there when she turns of age. This journey at Great Beginnings has made my family and my daughter so happy. I am so amazed to see the transition and the friendships my daughter has made.

  Our daughter loved Great Beginnings. The teachers were wonderful and staff all operated as a big team. Very sweet, small preschool with schedule flexibility, which is very hard to find! A neighborhood gem. We love you Ms Karen, Ms Alma and Ms Martina!

  My daughter has been at Great Beginnings for the past two years, starting when she turned two. As she transitions to TK, I write this review with mixed emotions—sadness that she’s leaving but immense gratitude for the wonderful experience she had. Great Beginnings has been exceptional for her development. Being a pandemic baby, she missed out on typical early social interactions, and we were concerned about her social development. We noticed her yearning for human connection whenever we passed by other children. Once the vaccine was approved for kids, we immediately started looking at preschools. After visiting a few, we knew Great Beginnings was the right choice. From the beginning, interacting with Ms. Lana during the enrollment process to the various teachers like Ms. Martina, Ms. Sabrina, Ms. Jeanne, Ms. Karen, and others whose names escape me, it was an incredible experience. Within weeks, her social skills improved, and she began sharing with other children. Her language abilities soared within the first month, and she started speaking in complete sentences. She was always a picky eater, but attending Great Beginnings made her more open to trying new foods. What we absolutely loved about Great Beginnings was the diversity of the student body. It was heartwarming to see her interact with children from various backgrounds—Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, and mixed. She’s made friends from all walks of life. We can't thank Great Beginnings enough for preparing our little girl for the next stage of her life and her educational journey.

  My son attended Great Beginnings before transitioning into LAUSD classroom. As a parent, it is always important to research and ask the questions you need to ask to feel comfortable leaving your child. From the start we had great communication with the school administrative staff who helped ease our concerns. Throughout the time my son attended I didn’t have any issues or problems with the staff, we appreciate all the extra attention our son received while at school. I have recommended Great Beginnings to friends and family and would happily take my son again. Thank you to Mrs. Karen and Ms. Martina!
