Miss Kalia is experienced, professional, and most of all warm and loving to kids. Miss Kalia cared for my twins starting when they were four months old. We found her online and did not know her previously. It was really hard to leave my tiny babies to return to work and Miss Kalia was exactly who we needed to feel comfortable with the childcare transition. She really engaged with the twins and spent time reading, playing, and taking them on walks. She helped them transition to solid food and meet their developmental milestones. Having previous experience working in daycare centers and now running her own, Miss Kalia knows and complies with state regulations and safety requirements. She can easily handle multiple children. I never had any safety or hygiene concerns - my kids always were clean and well-fed, and my daughter normally had a cute hairstyle at the end of the day too! Miss Kalia was great at communicating what had happened that day. My kids loved Miss Kalia and it was wonderful to know they were cared for by someone who treated them like her own family. Ohana is an in-home family daycare so I also think it's important to know that Miss Kalia's family is just as warm and welcoming as she is. Also, Miss Kalia is extremely reliable (I can't remember her ever taking a sick day) and loves to celebrate holidays and special events by doing activities with the kids. Ohana is a great environment and our family is so thankful to Miss Kalia for everything she has done for our kids.

My son is thriving in Kinder and I owe a lot of that to the wonderful teaching at Great Beginnings! I appreciate and am so grateful for everything they have done for my son.

I 100% recommend Great Beginnings to anyone and everyone looking for childcare & preschool for their kids.

I've had two children attend this center (at different times since March 2023), and I can honestly…read moresay it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for our family. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have gone above and beyond--not just to "watch" the kids, but to truly teach, nurture, and connect with them. The growth I've seen in my children has been incredible. My oldest has graduated out but my youngest comes home excited, confident, and full of new things he's learned. What stands out most to me is how intentional the focus is on true development and connection. They don't teach just about letters, numbers, or milestones--they help each child grow into themselves with kindness, curiosity, and confidence. As a parent, specifically a single parent, I'm especially grateful for how seamlessly their approach aligns with the way I raise my children at home. The parallels between their teaching style and my parenting make it easy for my kids to absorb and retain what they're learning, which has made a huge difference in their growth. It's rare to find a place where you feel your children are not only safe, but also understood, supported, and genuinely loved. That's exactly what this center has given us. I can't recommend them highly enough!

From the very first day, the staff made both me and my child feel welcome, comfortable, and confident in our choice. Their professionalism is evident in everything they do--from their clear communication and structured daily routines to the genuine care they show each child. What stands out most is how attentive and nurturing the team is. They take the time to understand each child's personality, needs, and development, and it really shows. My child absolutely loves going every day and often talks about the fun activities, friends, and teachers with excitement. That kind of enthusiasm says more than anything I could write. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully organized, which gave me peace of mind right away. I also appreciate how they keep parents informed with regular updates and are always open to questions or conversations. It's clear that this daycare isn't just a place to watch children--it's a place where they learn, grow, and feel supported. I'm incredibly grateful for the positive impact they've had on my child's development and happiness. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional daycare.

I'd like to add that if you have had a different experience with this school and the five year old classroom than what my son and I had to endure, that is great. I would never want any child to be treated maliciously, so if you are a lucky parent and she was nice to your children, I am genuinely happy for you. I am speaking from my own experience with this teacher, and my experience was and is still valid. She is lucky I am being vague about what my child had to experience with her as a teacher. I as a parent am writing this review out of genuine concern for every child that enters this school's well being. Beware of biased reviews from friends of teachers at this school who do not have the children's best interest at heart, and instead are leaving reviews to help their friend's egos.

It's saddening to see a review that talks illy about the 5's teacher. I hope that if you read that review, then you also read this one as well. Great Beginnings has been nothing but a pleasure to be apart of. Day in and day out, I know that the people in that place are filled with light and God's glory. Their intent is to raise up a child in the ways they should go, "Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go;". There has NEVER been a moment where I did not trust or depend on a GB teacher to guide my children accordingly. Specifically, Ms. Mandy has prepared 2/3 of my kids for pre-k and has done nothing but a wonderful job. She has challenged them, loved on them, and prepared them to know what to expect in Kindergarten. (And I'm not sure if you know what the education system is like nowadays but it's ROUGH). Realizing that there are moments where she needed to be tough to ensure that my child would be successful was apart of my job as the PARENT. I knew for a fact that she had no ill intent. She is HIGHLY qualified for the job, as both of my boys are gifted in Math. Let me echo this again, She knows what she is doing. I have recommended countless families to GB and will continue to do so. Pleasing everyone in this world is impossible. But, I can vouch and say that GB is one of the best places you can bring your child if you're looking for curriculum that is filled with the truths of God and love of Jesus, teachers who know what they are doing and enjoy it, and a place that you can trust.

Mikayla definitely follows Lashonda's lead. Teachers are good, but when they need assistance because of their short staffing or managements attempt to save money by sending teachers home instead of meeting the needs of children and the classroom, management seems put out to have to leave their desks. management's solution is to just sends kids home for age normative behaviors. seems like a lot of staff have their kids there as well as personal friends of management so treatment is not the same for every child. Lashonda shouldn't be working with children or their families, she's quite rude and frankly seems to dislike her job and children in general. The learning experience teachers are Limited in engagement of children and instead are babysitters instead of assisting with developmental growth. Ms. Shelbi seemed to have experience and genuinely cared, however she left, and I can't help but think it was because of lack of support and resources from management.

All 4 of our kids have gone to Little Sunbeams or are currently going. We started there with our oldest at 2, back in 2019 and he went all 3 years, until kindergarten. Our kids are all 2 years apart and we started them the month they turned 2 and were able to start going. Currently, my oldest is 8 and in 3rd grade and both him and my 1st grader are already in the advanced programs at school. Kindergarten teachers were amazed with how much they knew. My daughter is 5 and finishing up her last year at LSB before moving onto kindergarten. She knows how to write her full name and is currently working on site words. My youngest is 3 and has been at LSB for a year and loves it. The best part for me as a mom, is that it is a place where I feel comfortable sending my kids. I know they will be taken care of and loved. It is just a huge plus that they learn so much, and have the opportunity to explore and be creative everyday. Little Sunbeams also has an app, so they give updates there as needed and post pictures everyday- which is also another favorite of mine. The school is affordable and also offers flexible schedules, which we have often taken advantage of. Mrs Miriam is truly an angel. She is the owner and has shaped Little Sunbeams into what it is today. I am always so surprised with how hands on she is to this day with the kids. They love her. Ms Ivis is wonderful as well. If you call or walk in, she will most likely be the person to greet you. She is so welcoming and has answers to all of the questions. She has been such a great addition to the team. Ms Veronica is one of the teachers and has had 3 of my 4 kids. She is one of their besties but knows how to keep order of a classroom so that both learning and fun can be had. Ms Sara is the Spanish and Atelier teacher and she has had all 4 of my kids! She teaches them so much and has incredible patience with them as they are learning. I really can't say enough about this school. If you are on the fence, go check it out for yourself. We are going on our 8th year here and still love it. We will be sad when we have no more preschool aged kids and have to say goodbye.

Every time I send her there, I can feel confident that she is safe, well taken care of, and learning the concepts required to prepare her for Kindergarten.
