My wife and I found Early Beginnings from a recommendation by our Neighbor who was a teacher in the area. We toured the school found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Our Daughter wanted to attend, right from the tour. We've been sending here there full time for nearly 2 years now, and she has been enthusiastic about going to school every day since she started.

We've been impressed by how much our daughter has learned over the last two years from the school. The children participate in Spanish, Dance, and Art lessons every week all school year. Over the summer, they relax the lessons a little bit, and allow more time for playing outdoors, water play, and field trips. The school encourages parent participation, with family events throughout the school year, including art night, reading night, lego night, etc...

Over the last 2 years, we've never experienced any issues sending our daughter to this school. We've felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. We have unfortunately had to leave Early Beginnings, only because we are moving out of state, but leaving this school is one of the hardest things we've had to do, and finding a different school that offers all of the things this school does has been very challenging.

I would like to give a big thanks to all the staff of the preschool of the arts my daughter has been attending here for 2 +years and I have had the pleasure of watching her interact with many teachers and and faculty members along the way and they have all been nothing short of amazing.
My little princess is currently in pre-K and her teacher is Miss Cherita
And as a parent I couldn't be more enthused about the level of education she has been receiving this past year. From her learning sign language to music time,arts and crafts , and everything in between to get her prepped to transition into kindergarten . I am fortunate to have a teacher with the level of care and commitment she carries into her classroom. My daughter is excited every day to get ready and go we are usually greeting all of the staff members at 6:30 as they arrive .
I would recommend PSA to all parents looking for Child care/ early education needs .

My daughter has been with Early Beginnings since it was originally called "Cuddle". The main teachers Early Beginnings Preschool of the Arts were very good. They made my daughter feel very comfortable. The staff makes sure to offer numerous activities to the all the kids there. It really makes us parents very happy.

My family (my husband, myself and 2 girls currently 8&5) have been with early beginnings PSA since 2013 and have had many positive experiences with the staff, director and the owners.

The staff are like family to my girls- My girls love so many of them!!! They look forward to Monday mornings and sharing their life stories after an exciting weekend! The staff celebrate accomplishments with them and also provide hugs to them when life events have brought sad news. ❤️

The staff always balance the needs of the children and parents well (I.e. No phone calls for issues that can wait for pickup, assist in getting mom out the door when a little one clings to them) and have shared many parenting tips with me along the way which have frequently been exactly what we needed to help reinforce the girls developmental or behavioral growth.

What I particularly love and consider a 'bonus' to simply great childcare (what two FT working parents need) is the education. The preSchool and preK teachers in particular. They have curriculum and evaluations/meetings with parents and have done a phenomenal job preparing my girls for primary school- both socially and academically. They are professional and knowledgeable as teachers. I have to mention also that the curriculum includes 'arts' classes including Spanish and music classes with teachers who come in specifically for these subjects.

The owners and Tracy are all very kind, humanistic people who truly love all these children. They are prompt to respond to an email- whether it's a simple question or a concern related to children. When my mother passed away last year, Sue left some books for me borrow -age appropriate books for me to read with my kids to help them understand death. These are the above and beyond moments that are what makes EB a part of our family and we will never forget them!

Every parent can imagine the difficulty in leaving your baby at daycare for the first time. Although this can be terrifying, the staff and director at Early Beginnings made this transition to easier than we ever could have imagine. When you walk into PSA you can feel the energy and passion from all the staff. PSA makes each child and family feel part of a bugger family. The childrens' needs are always primary and fun is a part of each day. The staff pride themselves on maintaining communication and including parents in each day. Our son has been at PSA for over 2 years and we know each day that we do not have to worry about his well being. I would recommend PSA to any parent looking for a safe, loving, educational and fun environment.

I really enjoy Early Beginnings Preschool of the Arts for my daughter. It's extremely close to where we lives. That is such an convenience when driving her there. It's located in such a great spot so if I'm not able to get to my kids because of work, my parents are able to get them.

Early Beginnings Preschool of the Arts keeps their facility cleaned and well maintained. The cleanliness of their practice always meets my expectations as a child care provider.

Its very nice to know and see that if there are any issues you can sit and fix them together here effectively and quickly so you can be worry free leaving your child here. I like the sign language my daughter is taught and seems to be learning alot quickly.
