Parental Involvement
Beginnings Schools ensure that all families, regardless of family structure—socioeconomic, racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds; gender; abilities or preferred languages—are included in all aspects of our program. We are a parent cooperative, and require every parent or guardian to participate in our parent committees.
What People Are Saying
Because of the size of the school, teachers really get to know the students and that makes all the difference. They bring in musicians, bi lingual
teachers, field trips, parent events, etc. What I like the most is that I can call my son’s teacher at any time during the day and talk directly to her for an update.
Toddler 2 teachers rock!
This is a safe, fun school with great food and facilities. My children feel safe and well cared for, and I feel
confident leaving my children here.
It is great that this is a non profit daycare and there is a board that can be joined if one would like to implement change.
