Welcome, friends in Christ
Your heart for children.
A purpose we share.
If your church is looking for a way to enrich the lives of children in your congregation and community, we welcome you. Our church partnership program grew from that same desire.
Great Beginnings began in 1990 with a vision of reaching young children with the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the start, our ministry has brought a Christian worldview into early childhood education and care.
We want children to know God’s love in the years when they are beginning to understand themselves, their friendships, and the world around them.
Experience with a purpose
Decades of care.
A shared calling.
For more than three decades, Great Beginnings has brought Christian teaching and loving care into children’s early years. Our experience includes serving alongside local churches, with a shared desire to reach children and support families.
We understand that a preschool ministry brings together a heart for children and the practical responsibilities of running a school. Classroom care, staffing, administration, and communication with families all have a place in that work.
Every church has its own community, vision, and questions. We welcome the opportunity to learn about yours and explore what a partnership could look like together.
Experience in early learning
We bring the perspective of working with young children, supporting teachers, and caring for families into each partnership conversation.

Serving together.
Keeping children

Our commitment to the local church is part of our wider mission to love, protect, teach, and serve children. We want our work together to reflect that purpose in everyday classroom life.
Today, our operating preschool campuses are in Glendale and Goodyear. The calling that started this ministry continues to guide our teaching and care.
