    GBB has been amazing for our daughter since 4 months to now 2 years old, the amount of love and care she received from the educators and team made who she is today. The educators and team love each and every child as of their own, we could comfortably leave our daughter to their care and know she would enjoy every minute of the day.

    Honestly an amazing center! We've sent all our kids here and all the staff are fantastic. The "twins," whether it be Bree or Darcy are amazing at catering to our children's needs. Kathryne is extremely proficient in communication and helps assist us with anything our family may need. Our kids are happy everyday we pick them up, Christina is so attentive to their needs and will always provide a great summary of their day in the center. Thanks Great Begginings Berwick! šŸ˜€

    I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and nurturing environment provided by Great Beginnings Berwick. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and reassured by the friendly and professional management team. The center is clean, safe, and equipped with wonderful facilities that engage children in a variety of activities. The educators are truly dedicated and passionate. They have an amazing ability to connect with the children and create a warm, loving atmosphere. My child has thrived under their care. Communication with parents is outstanding, with regular updates on my child's progress and daily activities. I also love the sense of community among the families here ā€“ it feels like an extended family. I highly recommend Great Beginnings to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and stimulating environment for their child. Thank you for all that you do!
