When making a decision as important as choosing a day care provider, one that is the best fit for your child’s individual needs, the most helpful advice could be a recommendation from another family. We welcome you to read for yourselves what families have to say about Great New Beginnings.
We have had a truly great experience at this daycare and couldn’t be happier with our decision. The environment is always clean and well-maintained, which was a top priority for us.
What really sets this place apart is the staff—everyone is incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. The small class sizes allow for the teachers to stay highly engaged with every child, and it shows! My son absolutely loves being there and looks forward to it every day.
From a practical standpoint, the tuition rates are very fair; they are comparable to other local centers and actually a little less than some we toured. We love it here and highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging place for their children!

We have been with Great New Beginnings at Middletown location since my daughter was 3 and half. We have had a great experience with our care. Our teachers and support staff has always been great. We were notified if something had happened usually that day. Most of the time it was because she fell on the play area. Communication with the teachers were just an email away. Each day they give you an update what will be learned for the week. When she was little they told you how long she nap for. I feel like daughter has learned a lot. I would recommend this facility to other families.

Our daughter has been at GNB Middeltown for 3 years and she loves it there. All of the staff care about the kids and she’s learned so much from them.

I can’t say anything more positive about Ms. Ellie & Ms. Janisha in the Pre-K classroom. My daughter has learned so much both academically & within herself with them both as her teachers, and I am forever thankful for them! My daughter runs into the classroom & gives her teachers hugs every day & as a parent that makes me feel so relieved to know my child is in the best hands possible. The management team is excellent with communicating any problems or concerns. This center is very professional, polite, and caring. I couldn’t have chosen a better center to enroll my daughter. I recommend GNB Newark to anyone who is looking for care.

I cannot say enough about this location. Since my two sons started , infant room and pre-k i have felt such a sense of peace knowing my kids are safe and loved. These teachers and even administration LOVE these children. I will forever be grateful for Ms. Johntay and Ms. tiarra !! They are the best communicators and my son loves them so much. I love how many pictures I get throughout the day and how much fun my son has. And Ms. Michelle and Ms. Tammy in pre-k room are the BEST! My son has started writing and has grown so much behavior wise and his socialization skills . I recommend this daycare to all of my friends. You hear all these horror stories from other peoples experiences in daycares or home centers and I never have an issue here .. it’s not even a thought. And my family and myself are so grateful!

Our kids went to Great New Beginnings. They were tremendous with them. We started them out as babies and they went all the way through. We really liked when picture day came. Miss those days!

I am writing this honest review about the center. Its been 6 months since we located this early learning center and I have been truly bless to have found it. The center is very well maintained and fully secure. The hiring process must be intense because all the staff thus far is beyond awesome! Even with complaints, the staff has always remained calm, empathic and pleasant. My sons milestones have been advanced with the educational games, songs, activities and human interactions at the center. I really appreciate Ms. Kyara & Ms. Janae at the front desk they are both level headed, professional, and welcoming everyday ( which is hard to do). Every interaction has been pleasant, even with the other parents. I would 100% refer anyone to this branch due to the team effort the staff shows day in and day out. Thank you

My granddaughter has been going there for a 6 months, the love and TLC nurturing makes me feel confident when I leave her. The accomplishments and her progress continues to amaze me every day. The staff is friendly, engaging and genuine. I love their transparency, always keeping me informed! Thank you GNB❤️

Best daycare ever. I sent my now 13 year old when he was in daycare and I currently have a 4 year old that’s been going there since he was 1.

I moved to the area in January and I called a dozen daycares to try and find availability for my 4 month old. GNB called me back with an opening thankfully and I couldn’t be more grateful that this was the facility that had availability. My child has been enrolled since he was 5 months old and the care he has received has been amazing. I can truly say that the ladies in the infant room took exceptional care of my child. They are kind and organized and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby in their care. My child is now in the 1 year old room and I feel the same way about the staff in this class. They are wonderful and sweet and do a great job. The staff alerts me of any incident no matter how small which makes me feel like they are trustworthy and have the best interests of my child.

We absolutely love the cleanliness and communication of this center. I love that the teachers email me with updates, pictures, and even just questions.
Another major selling factor are the cameras. We love to be able to check in and see how the kids are doing. Its nice to see our children interacting with others and even working on worksheets.
Ashley Gravatt
I am shocked to read any negative feedback for GNB. My husband, son and I had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience! Should we have any more children I know this is where we would bring our child.
My review is long overdue as my child is now 7 but he attended GNB from 4 months old. I chose GNB because of the ability to livestream and a good interview/observation however, as a 1st time mom I was TERRIFIED to leave my child. I had a ton of questions and concerns, but they were always addressed with care and understanding. Lin, Kristin, and Janae always humored my requests and never made me feel like a bother. Although I was one of many parents, they always made me feel like my child was a priority, and that they were equally concerned for my child’s wellbeing. When there was an incident in the classroom between my child and a teacher, that teacher was reprimanded immediately even before I could review the tape and comment! They treated my child as if he was their own. The level of care and concern that was put into rectifying this situation truly blew me away. They heard my 4-year-old sons concerns, took it seriously and did not hesitate to show him…not just tell him…that he was seen, heard, cared for and would be protected!
Lin is truly a jewel she is so accessible and involved in what happens at GNB. Not like many owners who don’t know what’s going on…Lin gives you her cell phone number and will answer and respond almost immediately to texts and calls. She even allowed this panicked mom to retrieve her son’s nebulizer after hours! I have so many wonderful things I could share…so many amazing teachers, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Jess….they offered advice when needed, were always open to discuss my child’s progress, and even differentiated instruction to challenge my child when they realized how smart he was. Differentiating instruction for a 2-year-old!! Can you imagine a daycare that would go that extra mile??? GNB is a great place that truly desires partnership with its parents! They are GREAT partners to have!! They listen and truly look out for the best interests of your child in all aspects! This is overdue because I knew it would be long! But SO, deserving!! Thanks, GNB!
