I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We have two, now school age, children at this center. We were forced to find alternative care when we found out the center we were at was closing, abruptly. We had actually planned to find another daycare center, so the closing just force that to happen sooner. Our kids were then an infant and a kindergartner. We've been with Great Beginnings for a few years now and really could not be happier! The staff, we've found, have higher expectations of good behavior from the kids than we had prior experience with. They also do a really nice job keeping the children busy and engaged in some way. We have never had a negative issue or experience with Great Beginnings center or staff, again couldn't say enough good things. Thank you
