Hooray!

The days are starting to get longer which means warmer weather is on it's way! I don't know about you, but I can get a little stir crazy with all this cold weather and not being able to get out as much as I like. Practicing yoga and mindfulness can help bring a calming to our lives and especially right now as we are not out moving around as much to get our 'wiggles' out. Take a minute for yourself - you won't regret it!

We need your input

As a program we are continually working to improve all that we do. One way we collect information for this is through our Parent Satisfaction Survey. Here is your chance to be heard from our program - what do you like, what can we do better.


Would you please take a minute to fill out this very important document. Your input is important to us. Your response is anonymous.


Thank you.


If the survey below does not work, please use this link to our website and look under "Upcoming Events" where you will see Parent Survey.

Asking for a little help...


We currently have 54 Great Beginning students receiving weekly food packs from Coldwater's NO HUNGRY KIDS program. Because of the high number, we are having trouble keeping up with the number of paper bags needed. Any paper bag will do as long as it has handles and is similar in size to the Chipolte bags. We use the bags to send food home.


Would you please consider donating your bags like these to Great Beginnings.


You can give these bags to your parent educator or drop them off at Great Beginnings Monday through Friday from 8 - 4.

Thanks so much!!

Yoga and children

We are all very busy and at times we need to learn to slow down and just be. Yoga for children has many benefits including being able to slow down but also to stretch those little bodies and encourage movement and balance. Practicing yoga as a family can benefit all!

How yoga can be beneficial for kids

1. Flexibility.

2. Body awareness, balance and overall coordination.

3. Attention and self regulation skills.

4. Strength.

5. Language and cognitive skill development.

5. Social skills.
