Research Good Beginnings School Private Schools in Manassas, Virginia

“This is the 6th year in a row we have sent our children to this amazing school. Both my daughters started in young Pre-school which is run by a teacher who is masterful with the 2 to 3 year old set -- instilling confidence with patience and love. In Pre-school the kids are introduced to phonics in a fun filled environment which includes everything from Chinese singing to soccer. My youngest is now in one of the Pre-K classes which has included Peter Pan Day, pumpkin math and many more engaging projects. The children are beginning to read, write and accomplish basic math. My oldest is now in 2nd grade and well ahead in most subject areas. I feel very strongly the impressive GBS Kindergarten program gave her a huge boost. Lead by two accomplished teachers, this Kindergarten is simply a year your child will never forget!”

“We have sent our children to this school for over 5 years. Good Beginnings has been a wonderful part of our family. The teachers are college or higher education graduates, and we have never been disappointed with any of the teachers. The early preschool class is a safe and loving environment for the 2-3 year olds. The preschool class has a perfect balance between structured academics and play. The pre-K teachers are extremely caring and their approach to teaching reading is effective and fun. The kindergarten class is a memorable experience that includes a challenging K-1 curriculum, creativity, and performances that top any program I have heard about. All but 2 of the children in my son's K class were accepted into the Fairfax County Gifted and Talented Program in 3rd grade. We would recommend the school to anyone.”

“My daughter is in her 3rd year at GBS and I would not change a thing. The teachers are outstanding, supportive, interested in the children and their work. Additionally, the classroom activites that my daughter brings home are projects she has fun with along with the field trips throughout the year. We are so pleased with her overall enthusiasm for school. This enthusiasm is attributable to the supportive, warm school environment and outstanding teachers that work there. We have had a positive experience and would highly recommend the GBS program.”

“Not as impressive as it sounds. The school is very disorganized and understaffed.”

“My son attended GBS for his last preschool year. The school was quite simply fabulous. My son is shy, but brilliant, and his strengths and weaknessnes were all addressed properly and with love. The classes are small, the teachers are sweet and fun, and the program is better than any other in the area. We checked out 15 preschools, and this one was the best!”

“My daughter has attended this school for 3 months, and I've found it to be very well run by the director. The classroom sizes are small, the playground is appropriate for the ages of the children and is fully fenced, and the in ground pool is beautiful. I've been impressed with the academic and the extracurricular activities. My daughter, age 3, is learning her letters and is practicing how to write her name. I've found the swimming instructors to be excellent. Most importantly, the teacher's are very friendly, and there is a good balance between academics, structured extracurricular activities, and free play time. The artwork my daughter brings home is wonderful. I've also been impressed by the food menu. I've enrolled my daughter full time for the Fall because of my positive experience this summer at the school.”
