What truly sets Primary Beginnings apart is the incredible staff. Many of the teachers have been there for years, a testament to the positive work environment and their genuine dedication to the children. My toddler absolutely adores his teachers, and the feeling is clearly mutual. The love and care they show him are evident every day. It's not just his teachers, though; the assistant director is his "buddy," always taking the time to play and engage with him, and he never misses a chance to wave goodbye and blow kisses to the director. Even the cook has formed a special bond with my son! He loves the delicious meals, and the cook’s friendly demeanor always brings a smile to his face. It's heartwarming to see how all the children interact with the staff, demonstrating the same affection and trust.
The center itself is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It's clear that the children's health and safety are a top priority. While the early years are inevitably filled with occasional illnesses, the staff is always quick to respond and take measures to minimize the spread.
Beyond the nurturing environment, Primary Beginnings excels in fostering each child's development. The infant room teachers are incredibly dedicated, patiently guiding the little ones through milestones like tummy time, crawling, and holding a bottle, while also respecting parents' routines. The toddler room teachers continue this dedication, focusing on fine and gross motor skills, language development, and building autonomy. What's truly remarkable is the effort the staff puts into building relationships with the children across different age groups. My son's toddler teachers began getting to know him while he was still an infant, and the infant teachers continue to maintain a warm connection with him.
Primary Beginnings isn't just a childcare center; it's a community where children are cherished, nurtured, and encouraged to thrive. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and developmentally enriching environment for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend Primary Beginnings.
The teachers and staff provided exceptional care and support, assisting not only him with milestones like starting solid foods, crawling, and adjusting nap schedules but also us as parents.
We were greeted daily with energetic smiles from the team and our son absolutely loved everyone on staff.
We are so grateful for the loving and welcoming environment as well as excellent care our son received. We highly recommend this school!
