| What is Beginnings’ educational philosophy? |
We believe, and neuroscience has proven, that children are better able to explore new areas of learning and engage more fully with the world around them when they have positive feelings of self-worth and are able to express, understand, and cope with their own emotions and those of others.
The heart of Beginnings’ teaching philosophy is to foster the skills of emotional intelligence, which are critical for promoting academic, social, and personal success. We focus on instilling a love of learning in each child, allowing the seeds of curiosity and wonder to take root, blossom, and continue to grow for a lifetime. |

| Families typically enroll their child for the start of the school year program, which begins in September. However, we also offer rolling admissions. This allows children to join a classroom at any point during the year if space is available. |
