  • Our oldest son has attended here for 2 years and he has absolutely flourished in so many ways. His classmates are wonderful as well. He has learned so many skills and lessons. I feel he will be strongly prepared to start kindergarten. The teachers are all very caring and it is easy to see they love what they do. Highly recommend!

  • We have been with In the Beginning Preschool from when they opened in 2020. The program is wonderful, and the staff is amazing. If you are looking for a faith based preschool program for your little ones I encourage you to connect with Claire.

  • I’ve had experience with several preschools over the years, and this one has truly been the best by far. My son absolutely loves going every day, and I’ve seen so much growth in his confidence and learning. Staff create such a positive, nurturing environment, communication is excellent and always feel informed and supported. I’m so grateful to have found this preschool it’s been a great experience for both me and my child!

  • My twins attend “In the Beginning”, and my husband and I are thrilled with the progress they have been making both socially and academically. The staff is friendly and attentive and the communication is great through the app. My twins love the “theme weeks” and are always happy when we pick them up. We value that the school upholds the same morals, beliefs, and faith that our family shares.

  • This preschool at St. John's has it all! They offer year-round school for our children filled with activities such as crafts, social interaction, and actual learning experiences. We have noticed positive changes in our son since he's been attending. The hours / days are very flexible, and the routine is very good. We wish this was a K through 8 school!
