Great Beginnings of Sugar Hill has been privately-owned and
operated by Patty Perdue and Jim Newton since 2004. Jim and
Patty utilize their educational and professional coaching
experience as well as small business ownership experience
in the daily operations of our center. Unlike other facilities,
you’ll always find one of our owners on site to address any
questions or address concerns that you or child might have.
With a professional background in Child Psychology and four
children of her own, Director Charlotte Sigler ensures staff
and children are happy and healthy as they move through our
secure buildings, structured and free play areas.
Only certified teachers, some with advanced degrees, make
up our staff of more than 45 professionals. You’ll find that
99% of our teachers are parents themselves. With tenure running
as high as 15 years, employment with Great Beginnings is clearly
a career choice they are passionate about. All teachers must
be high school graduates, are CPR and First Aid Certified
and receive 20 additional hours of early childhood education
training each year (twice the State of Georgia requirement).
We’re currently working with our staff members to obtain their
CDA, which will become a requirement for employment starting
in 2012.
Spanish is our second language at Great Beginnings of Sugar
Hill and something that we include in our curriculum free
of charge beginning in our infant B room. Every classroom
has a bilingual teacher so that what your children sing in
English, they also learn to sing in Spanish. Alphabets, meals
and playtime skills quickly become part of their every day
conversations.
Seventeen classrooms and seven age-appropriate outdoor play
areas are housed in our two building campus along with a multi-purpose
gymnasium popular with the kids for showing movies and watching
talent shows as well as playing games ranging from basketball,
volleyball and ping-pong to table-top games like air-hockey.
Staff-supervised computer access is available in every classroom
starting at age two as well as in the gymnasium for access
by kids doing homework in our after school program.

parents are choosing Great Beginnings for their child’s early
