I attended begin with us as a child in the 90s back when it was still a fairly small daycare. This was when Jolie, the owner, was still more involved in the direct child care. Back then she was a kind and loving person and provided excellent care. However, after using a loophole to recieve millions in grant money meant for non profits she has turned into a wealthy business owner who no longer cares for people below her station. Recently while arguing against socialist policies like the one that allowed her to get to where she is, she supported comments directed to my mother that said my mother should not have children. She feels I should not exist because her and my mother have differing opinions. She knew me as a baby and in a way helped raise me but still feels as though I don't deserve life because my mother doesn't agree with her hateful opinions. If you value treating others with respect don't enroll your children here. She is a vile woman full of vitriol and disgust of anyone she views as lesser than her.

My son loves it here!
We love Begin With Us! My children enjoyed the pre k counts program and the staff are wonderful!
We are very pleased with Begin with US Pre K program. The teachers are great the staff is so friendly. Our son loves it and he is more than prepared for kindergarten.
We love being part of the Begin With Us family. My daughter attended the program from 1 year old until 5 years old when she moved to Kindergarten. She still attends the yearly summer camp. Due to the program at BWU, she was very prepared and excelled. My son began at 12 weeks old and is still enrolled presently. He is already doing sign language and singing/dancing to multiple songs. The teachers and staff truly care about all the children. I don’t trust many people with my kids, but I know at BWU, they will be in good hands. They have a great facility with so much outdoor space. They have really nice playground equipment. I also know if I ever have a problem, I can reach out to ANY of the directors for help. I always receive a call or email back very promptly.
