It is the philosophy of "A Good Start (AGS)" to develop the whole child. This development takes place through social skills enhancement, academic learning, daily devotions (nondenominational Christian Bible stories are taught), and creative play time.

Reading and writing are very important in any child's development and at "A Good Start", children are encouraged to read and write by the teaching of phonics, picture journals, along with sight word memorization and story/word comprehension.Children are also read to several times daily. We sincerely believe, reading is fun.

I have worked at A Good Start for more years than I care to share :). It's so great to work with kids, their families, and our wonderful staff. Our school family is the best!

I wanted to love this place, but just had my 3 year old son who is very well behaved at home expelled for having a temper tantrum and running back out to the playground after he was brought in. The issues with trouble with transition were brought to my attention early on, but I didn’t have opportunity to address issues like this at home bc we don’t transition in a structured way there. I would have talks with my son about how to behave at school and follow up with the teachers and be told things had improved. And then am blindsided by expulsion and told that his behavior is a risk to himself

My kid started at A Good Start at 2 years old, which was his first daycare experience. It took him about one month to get used to be around people he did not know. The staffs were very supportive and responsible, especially during that time. My kid learned how to social with other kids, started speaking, got potty trained very easily because he saw bigger kids do it there, made lots of crafts, made friends...
The facility is always clean and well-organized. I still believe that I was lucky to pick the best daycare the first time. Also love the new app they are using for check in and out, payment

I can’t say enough positive things about this Pre-school. My daughter ASKS to go to school! The owners really do treat the children like their own. They have been a true lifesaver during this pandemic by staying open and following strict sanitation protocols so essential employees can continue to work for the community. They provide top notch education and have been such a blessing to our family. They are very affordable and have wonderful hours. 5 stars+

My daughter has gone to a Good Start Preschool since she was 2.5 years old. They are truly amazing. She started virtual kindergarten class this year and her teacher was blown out of the water for the things she already knew entering Kindergarten. Seriously she is way ahead thanks to their constant learning that goes on at A Good Start. My daughter is in a safe environment learning about God, receiving an above and beyond education and having amazing teachers that have become part of our village. Thank you A Good Start for caring for my daughter.

This daycare has been amazing for my daughter. They are so attentive, professional, and really put her learning first. I am already seeing her getting better at using the potty, sharing and speaking.

Mrs. Joanne and all of the teachers take personal interest in the children here and work with them individually to help them succeed. My son has excelled significantly since starting 4 months ago! I’m so glad we found A Good Start :)

I remember feeling the warmth of love when first entering the preschool and how friendly and loving Ms Joanne, the director & owner was. She became a mentor and dear friend to me. I could tell right away how much she loves children and ensuring they are nurtured and ready for school. The kids have fun as well as learn and grow into well rounded, good and kind children. I even remember how A Good Start helped my kids enjoy eating vegetables and eating salad!

A Good Start has been a real blessing to us. Ms. Joanne and her teachers have created a genuine learning environment where every child is known, loved, and empowered to do their best. It amazes me the things that very young children are able to accomplish under her care. For example, at three years old, my shy daughter memorized Psalms 23...ALL OF IT (including the accompanying hand motions)! May not sound like a big deal, but trust me, it’s HUGE! My kids learned how to respect themselves and others. They were equipped with skills needed to help them be successful in LIFE! Forever grateful to
