Good Beginnings is a non-denominational quality preschool program offered to children ages three, four and five.

About Us

Good Beginnings Preschool was founded over 20 years ago as an answer to a community need for a quality preschool and child care program. Since then, Good Beginnings has built an excellent reputation, giving children a secure, nurturing foundation for academic and social growth in a warm and loving environment.

Over the past 20 years, Good Beginnings has become a landmark in the community and we are glad to be a familiar face in the growing community of Hollidaysburg. With the support of a Board of Directors and a dedicated parent volunteer group, Good Beginnings will continue to educate and care for young children for many generations to come. We WELCOME you to read our website and find out more about what's happening at Good Beginnings!

All subjects are taught at a pre-kindergarten level. Creative learning is used for all ages to develop creative expression using music, arts and crafts. The creative learning crosses the curriculum into color, shape, size, patterning, sequencing, math and other learning areas, including development of fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are developed during indoor movement lessons.
