Basic Beginning Mission Statement

Basic Beginnings is a child care center dedicated to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow and learn and where parents, teachers and the community work together in the best interests of each unique child in a respectful and supportive partnership. 

Our History

Basic Beginnings was established in 1983 in response to the increasing number of families with two working parents. A local businessman had high expectations of an appropriate environment for his own children and he created Basic Beginnings to meet those expectations.  Today, 29 years later, we still have the same goal - providing the very highest quality care and education for young children.

We understand that choosing someone outside of your family to care for your child during the day is a very difficult decision.  We want to make sure that you feel secure and confident in your child's wellbeing while they are in someone else's care.  We do our very best to provide a safe, healthy and stimulating environment where your child will grow and learn.  We have a highly qualified teaching staff who understand that each child is an individual with unique feelings and needs.  Our classrooms are separate and enclosed, providing a quiet, well-equipped environment designed specifically for the age of children who will be using it.  We utilize a curriculum that ensures that all of the basic educational needs of the children are met on a daily basis, including social and emotional skills, language development, cognitive learning and physical development.  And we have a 29 year history of offering the nurturing and attentive care you want for your child.

We believe strongly that childhood should be a happy and exciting time of life, and that children should be encouraged to grow and learn at their own individual pace.  Our educational philosophy is shaped by the child's need for exploration, creative expression, and positive guidance.  Our educational curriculum is learning-center based for hands-on activity and to encourage success without stress every day for every child.
