Our Philosophy

We at Beginnings believe strongly in the need to foster individual growth and self-esteem for every child.

The particular needs of each child and each family are our priority. We strive to maintain an atmosphere of emotional trust and a respect of open communication. At the same time, we provide a physical environment in which cognitive, physical and social development are all richly interwoven. This is made possible by a staff of teachers that comprise our greatest asset.

We are committed to the idea of parental involvement and have made available a range of possibilities for such involvement. Parents are encouraged to voice their ideas and concerns and to participate directly in the life and health of our schools. Beginnings Schools are cooperative early learning programs.

Diversity

Beginnings Schools are dedicated to providing an anti-bias environment for children and adults.

An anti-bias environment is one that encourages an active approach to challenging prejudice, stereotyping and any other kinds of bias, An anti-bias attitude values and celebrates diversity among different genders, races, lifestyles, physical abilities, religions, and cultures.

We believe strongly in the need to foster individual growth and self-esteem for every child. We openly welcome children of all backgrounds, of all national, ethnic, religious, and physical identities. It is our belief that a good child care Center is both a cooperative community and a home, in idea and in reality. It is a place where children feel cared for and secure, and where parents can feel relaxed, supported and involved. It is a place where individual respect and dignity are assured.
