Our Programs & Courses

Age-Based Class Framework of Our Childcare & Early Learning Programs

Infancy Stage (Birth to 18 Months)

The teacher ratio per every child is (1:3) which creates more engagement between caretaker and child and things become easier for teachers to handle infants and introduce new tastes, dramatic play, music, art etc.

Toddler Development Stage (19 to 36 Months)

We ensure personalized attention encouraging social interaction because our teacher and toddler ratio is (1:5). Therefore, a sufficient number of teachers make sure every toddler explores new skills, hands-on learning activities, and engages in drastic play which creates confidence and independence.

Early Childhood / Preschool Stage (3 to 6 Years)

Meaningful Beginning ensures preparation for school with structured schedule, creative or brain storming curriculum, language lessons with encouraging independence towards every child. We have a teacher ratio of 1:12 which makes sure every preschooler is taken care of properly and gets equal nurturing.

Parent Testimonials

We've been sending our son to this daycare for 6 months now, and we love it! The teachers are wonderful, our son loves them (Ms Sasa and Ms Andrea in the infant room are his favorites), they communicate well with us and they do fun activities with the kids. We especially love that MB provides lunch and snacks (many other daycares we looked at don't provide food at all) and that they're very flexible about late drop-off or early pick-up.

We are very happy with Meaningful Beginnings on Taraval. The staff is warm, caring, and professional, and the facilities are excellent. Our son has a great time every day—he’s learning a lot, enjoying fun activities, and getting plenty of outdoor play. The meals are good quality and well-balanced. Overall, we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!

Meaningful Beginnings isn’t just a daycare—it’s a community. I’m so grateful to have my children grow up here.
