John Humbird Elementary School

West Side has been a wonderful place for my kids! This is the second school they have been to in this county and while we had a great experience there, this is definitely a place my kids prefer. My kids' teachers have been tremendously supportive and kind. My kids look forward to going to school each and every day.

My son is an overachiever and perfectionist, which while admirable traits, can sometimes lead to meltdowns. The staff at South Penn has been wonderful. We've never had a negative experience. Faculty are caring and compassionate.

My school is Wiley Ford Primary of Wiley Ford, West Virginia. I had two children already complete their education through this school for K-2. Currently have one more child in the 1st grade. This is a wonderful school. The teachers are great with the students and the principal is very easy to talk to and knows how to provide the students/and parents with help to meet their child's full potential. The school is very small but; does a lot for the students to keep them wanting to learn in a fun filled way. I praise this school and all the staff, they are very welcoming to parents and volunteers. I would say this is one of the best primary schools, for its pleasant and knowledgeable staff.

Great place for developing minds. My three year old took to the open Montessori program immediately. Wonderful. Wonderful.

My children have received the instruction, respect, and discipline necessary to be successful. All children learn differently, and this is a school that supports that. The communication is great if you use the avenues provided, and these are continually improving. I do not hear about even small fights from my son, who had lots of stories to tell from Braddock and Allegany.

What a lovely, warm, child-centered school! I was pleasantly surprised to discover Beginnings after moving to the area recently. What a joy to interact with children of various ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities all in one school. Each staff member and board member is passionate about making our school the best it can be. Since we are a small school, we are able to get to know each child and watch them blossom. I am privileged to be a part of the Beginnings family.
