  My daughter has been attending New Beginnings since she’s 18 months. She is now three years old. All the staff there are truly amazing. The director and owners are very involved in the school. You can tell that they care about their school and the well-being of each child in the school. I am now sending my son who is six months old. The baby teacher is absolutely amazing a breath of fresh air, knowing he’s in a safe loved preschool.

  I would not recommend this daycare center based on a concerning experience. While I understand that each teacher has a different approach and that not all staff may reflect this behavior, the issue I am addressing is specific to one particular teacher. On multiple occasions, this teacher has raised their voice, yelling and screaming at the children instead of managing situations in a calm, patient, and professional manner. This type of behavior is not appropriate in an early childhood setting and creates an environment that can be distressing for young children. Equally concerning is the response from management. Despite bringing this matter to their attention, the owners appeared dismissive and did not take meaningful steps to address the situation. A lack of accountability in matters involving children’s well-being is deeply troubling. Families rely on daycare providers to offer a safe, supportive, and respectful environment. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet those expectations. I strongly encourage other parents to carefully consider their options and ensure their child is placed in a setting where they are treated with patience, care, and respect.

  Our 2.5 year old has been at New Begginings nearly full time since November. The leadership staff truly goes over and beyond for the kids here, they regularly come up with creative events and activities for the kids. They went above and beyond to help us and our daughter transition into school with providing updates and an overview at each pick up, discussing opportunities such as reading more books about school transition and genuinely care about each kid. Her teacher Ms Tiffany is a great leader that has her class engaged and following an educational structure which has contributed to so much growth over the last few months. She is truly special and we’d keep her forever. We get updates throughout the day through pictures and notes, our daughter regularly brings home craft projects she’s excited about. The communication can not be highlighted enough. Ms Tiffany and the staff answer any question we have, near immediately, even on the weekends. We do not ask for much but their response time always impresses me and is a symbol of their passion for their role. The school is always secure, clean and regularly updating decor keeping it interesting and exciting - even for me. Nothing is perfect but this sure does come close. I saw some negative reviews about cost, nothing of quality, especially for your kids comes at a discount but the cost is very fair compared to the general market. Not sure if we are just Lucky with Ms Tiffany and the staff but our experience this year is the best we could have asked for.

  Teachers here are amazing and super patient! We came here from Ivy League and my child is so much happier. School is beyond spotless and clean!

  Wow. It's literally an overnight difference. We took our 2.5 year old out from the chaos and abuse of another school filled with violations. We found New Beginnings and are so grateful for the warm, nurturing, and educational program. Our boy has since slept through the night, hugs me when he comes home, and is calmer. Its been 2 months and he's loving it. Thank you.
