My vision of quality care is a safe nurturing, Waldorf-style environment where a child can explore, create, learn to problem solve and be prepared for grade school. They should learn about manners, sharing, safety, health and basic life skills and practice those on a daily basis, to become an independent person in life.

My son started at ABC when he was about 9 months old and remained there until we moved, just after he turned 2. The facility is a dreamland for kids. The yard is a magical place, and they try to go out as often as possible. The providers are amazing; they felt like an extension of our family. Their love for my son was evident, and they did a wonderful job teaching him how to develop healthy, respectful friendships in his early life. He would often spend the weekends talking about all of his friends at "school."
As an anxious mother, ABC gave me peace of mind that my son was loved and well cared

I had my toddler at a larger daycare facility, but due to him constantly getting sick and him being shuffled from teacher to teacher I decided to seek out a smaller facility for full-time care. He has been at Advance Beginning for a few months now and absolutely loves it. The school and outdoor play area are beautifully maintained and there are tons of unique toys and activities. The teacher is fantastic with the kids and is a good communicator with parents. Tuition is about 20-25% higher than the big centers, but is significantly lower than the premium Montessori-type schools in the area.
