Choosing the right preschool is one of the most important decisions parents make for their young children. It shapes their early learning, social skills, and character development.
At Great Beginnings Preschool, with locations in Glendale, Goodyear, and Litchfield Park, children ages 2 to 5 experience a warm, faith-centered environment where Christian values are woven into a thoughtfully designed curriculum. This approach helps children grow academically, socially, and spiritually in a safe and loving setting.
Exploring Great Beginnings Preschool Programs: Faith and Learning Hand in Hand
The Great Beginnings Preschool programs combine high-quality early childhood education with Christian teachings to nurture the whole child — mind, body, and spirit.
Each day is carefully structured to include learning through play, teacher-led lessons, and opportunities to practice kindness, respect, and cooperation based on biblical principles.
Our age-appropriate curriculum is tailored to meet the developmental needs of toddlers and preschoolers:
Younger children engage in sensory play, music, and simple storytelling.
Older preschoolers participate in early literacy, math activities, and science exploration.
This gradual progression ensures every child feels confident and challenged without becoming overwhelmed.
Our teachers are both highly qualified early childhood educators and passionate Christian role models. They demonstrate patience, compassion, and honesty daily — creating a nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe to explore and grow.
A Day in the Life at Great Beginnings
A typical day in our preschool programs blends structured learning, free play, and spiritual growth. Mornings begin with group prayer and a Bible story to set a positive, faith-filled tone for the day.
Children then rotate through learning centers, exploring:
Literacy and language activities
Math games and counting challenges
Hands-on science projects
Creative art inspired by weekly Bible themes
Outdoor play encourages physical development and teamwork, while craft projects help develop fine motor skills and creativity.
Throughout the year, we host family-friendly events like holiday celebrations, parent workshops, and service projects, building a strong sense of community between families, children, and staff.
Supporting Early Childhood Development with Practical Tips
Parents play a vital role in their child’s early development, and Great Beginnings Preschool supports families with helpful advice and resources. Here are some practical tips inspired by the center’s approach:
Encourage curiosity: Ask open-ended questions and explore answers together to foster a love of learning.
Establish routines: Consistent daily schedules help children feel secure and understand expectations.
Read together daily: Sharing stories builds language skills and strengthens the parent-child bond.
Model kindness: Demonstrate empathy and respect in everyday interactions to teach Christian values.
Limit screen time: Encourage active play and hands-on activities to support healthy brain development.
These simple strategies complement the preschool’s curriculum and help children thrive both at school and at home.
Building a Caring and Safe Faith Community
At Great Beginnings Preschool, community is built through shared values, trust, and a commitment to each child’s well-being. Our connection with families extends beyond the classroom through clear communication, faith-based encouragement, and resources to support parents in raising confident, compassionate children.
Parents are always welcome in the classroom during drop-off and pick-up, ensuring a smooth transition and valuable connection time with their child’s teacher. However, to maintain a secure and comfortable environment for all students, extended stays inside the classroom are limited. This helps protect each child’s sense of routine while respecting the comfort levels of other families.
Every member of our teaching staff has completed Arizona’s rigorous background check process, including fingerprint clearance cards, so you can feel confident your child is surrounded by trusted and qualified role models. Our teachers live out Christian values daily — patience, kindness, and honesty — helping children learn and grow in a safe, loving environment where faith is part of everyday life.
