Good Beginnings School achieved its full accreditation status with the National Private School Accreditation Alliance in early January 2001. We offer a structured, traditionally academic learning program facilitated by seasoned, college degreed teachers in a warm, caring and energetic environment. Zaner-Bloser, SRA math and reading series, Plaid Phonics, Scholastic’s readers, science, and geography programs provide our core curriculum for our pre-kindergarten and kindergarten.

Our philosophy is to provide developmentally appropriate and strong academic programs to positively challenge the social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs for each child. We recognize and appreciate that all children are unique learners. We believe in a strong partnership between parents, children and staff, appreciating that parents are the most significant adults in a child’s life.
Reading, math readiness and science activities are designed to stimulate creativity and encourage reasoning and problem solving. Large and small learning groups are used to foster skill development through songs, games, language development as well as fine and gross motor activities.
