Thank you, thank you! We are so grateful we found BSP in 2021 as visiting other places left us uneasy. However, walking into BSP and meeting Ms Carmela and the other amazing teachers, left us with a sense of relief. Then when our kids started, the teachers kindness/support towards all the children and staff's great communication with parents only reinforced our decision. Both our kids graduated from BSP! Our most recent just this last Fall. Our kids loved their teachers and friends. It's like a little family that was created with the kids and parents.

The infant room teachers made me feel so comfortable and most importantly my baby girl loves it! It's only been a couple months but she leaves with a smile on her face and doesn't cry when I drop her off anymore. The app updates are fabulous- they tell us what she ate, when she napped, diapers changed and of course the best part PICTURES! I love that they send me pictures of her while I'm at work. You have the usual hiccups with a new baby at daycare- lots of illness being spread between the kids, but they are really good about giving us notice for when stuff is starting to spread. The classrooms are clean and despite all the other kids in the room I really feel like my little girl is getting a lot of individualized attention. Seriously amazing place I can't recommend it enough Update: She has since moved into the older classroom and her teacher is also phenomenal! She learns a lot and is always coming home with new pictures and her vocabulary is really taking off. They also threw a really cute event for Halloween and have fun parties. Just absolutely love this place and the teachers- Ashley the director, Josie in the infant room, Emily in the 1 year old room and Kayleigh in the older 1s and 2s (I think that is her name, yikes I feel bad) are some of the stand outs. Daycare is of course expensive but for the quality of the teachers, it's really a great value.

My daughter started in January 2023 at 13 months old. I love that this center has a separate one year old room, so both of my kids attend the same place. The teachers know my children well and take great care of them. The one year old room teacher is especially amazing! She is so calm, patient, and caring. She sends pictures every day on the procare app along with a summary of their daily activities. I am simply amazed by how much my daughter has learned about colors, counting, animals, etc, at less than 2 years old! Both of my kids get to do lots of hands-on learning and art projects. The outside area is big with lots of toys and room to run around. The front office staff is super friendly and communicates well. They do a wonderful job of accommodating my daughter's milk allergy.

The staff not only care deeply about the children, but their communication with parents is absolutely top tier. I have always felt informed, supported, and included. Every teacher and staff member we've encountered has been wonderful. They handle my daughter with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. Because of their dedication, she has exceeded milestones and is so far ahead for her age academically and socially. We are beyond grateful for the love, structure, and education they provide. I highly recommend Great Beginnings to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

When it was my grandson's turn it was a not even a thought if we were sending him. My grandson started in January of 2026 and has been doing amazing since the start. The teachers have all been great and they care about each and every child that comes through the door. On June 2026 we were told the school in Goodyear would be closing in two weeks. I was advised that any refunds would have to go through Rachel Ryan the owner of Great Beginnings. I prepaid $3500.00 dollars to Great Beginnings and I had a remaining balance of $1900.00 dollars. I've made repeated attempts to reach Rachel Ryan and as of this date is still have not received any response. If your thinking of bringing your child to Great Beginnings be advised that they love to take your money but if there are any issues they will not refund any money if it's owed to you. I'm sure I'm not the only one from the Goodyear location that has not received any refunds or response back from the owner.

This is long, but I'd want transparency when it comes to my child…read more When we toured in July, Ms. Wilson was the director. She was wonderful--she explained the teacher assignment, said the app included camera access and daily updates, and reassured me they worked with new kids often. She mentioned she'd be leaving soon and new owners were taking over but felt confident we'd like them. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. After filling out the application, I waited a week for the rest of the paperwork. Nothing came. I called multiple times and was told it would be sent, but it never was. The Friday before my son was supposed to start, I went in person. They couldn't even find the forms and spent over an hour recreating my account so I could receive them. My son started on Tuesday, and the school called on Monday asking if I still wanted to enroll him because their system showed him inactive. Not a good first impression, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. It took three weeks to get a door code and app access. When I did, there was no camera access after all--"Oh we will fix it". A letter later confirmed parents would not be given access. The code itself often didn't work even when I got it. ACH payments also took three weeks to set up. At first, the director said my balance was zero, then suggested I had given the wrong account, then said my account was closed. Without me changing anything, they eventually "fixed" it. The teacher I was told would be in my son's room wasn't there. On the first day, the teacher didn't introduce herself. Weeks later, I realized someone else was actually the teacher I'd been told about. No notice, no communication--just changes parents were expected to figure out. The handbook says to talk to your child first, then ask the teacher for an update. In our case, a new teacher came in at 2 p.m. daily. When I asked her about my son's day, she always shrugged and said she had just gotten there. There was no handoff from the morning teacher. This was frustrating because this was my son's first school experience, and I wanted to know what he was doing so I could support him at home. At one point, a sign on the door said to check the app for a project due. Since I didn't yet have access, I asked the PM teacher. She shrugged and told me to ask the director, who also didn't know. Just a preschool project--but again showed the lack of communication. Meals were another issue. I noticed many items my son wouldn't eat and asked if I could pack something simple like a banana. I was told outside food wasn't allowed. Staff said if a child didn't eat, they'd offer something else like a sunbutter sandwich--but that never happened. Most days, my son ate nothing at all. Eventually, we decided to move schools and turned in our two weeks' notice. On his second-to-last day, I saw him being walked back to class by staff. The director walked by me to the class. The PM teacher told me my son had been in her office part of the day due to behavior. I got only a one-sentence explanation and was told to "ask the director," but she never came back to speak with me. The app stopped updating at 11:30 a.m., and I picked him up at 3:00. No food, no bathroom notes, no details. No call to me or Dad. If it was serious enough to remove him from class, I should have been called. Once again, he hadn't eaten and was very emotional at home. I didn't send him for his final day--it didn't feel safe. Maybe I'm new to "school life," but I expected communication above all else. Instead, I got excuses. If you want a place to simply drop your child off, this school might work. If you want a place you can trust, where staff truly care about your child's well-being, I'd look elsewhere.
