At Great Beginnings, we believe as children grow, they need a positive self image, supportive role models and both a structured and free learning environment to effectively guide them through their development in a meaningful and happy way. The purpose of Great Beginnings is to provide a quality learning environment for children from ages six weeks to seven years of age. We want parents to feel that Great Beginnings is a facility where they want to leave their children, not a place where they have to leave their children. - Karen & Dan Shackford
