"Ms. Beth's is the best school ever!" Emma (age 3 1/2)
With a focus on family, community, character, values and developmentally appropriate skill development, Beth's ABC House is the perfect match for our daughter, Emma. We are so happy to have Ms. Beth in our lives - Emma is thriving there! She has developed close friendships, learned about all the letters and their sounds, learned basic math skills, social studies, science, and is lovingly encouraged to use good manners and be a good friend to others. Best of all, she is excited to go to school every day, trusts her teacher, and feels loved. While Ms. Beth creates a caring learning environment for the children, she is also an amazing source of knowledge, comfort, and enthusiasm for the parents. I can honestly say that Beth's ABC House school is the best choice for our whole family!
Sincerely, Jill Fancher, Mom of Emma

Beth's ABC House was a dream come true for our family. Our little Hanna was a very shy, reserved 3 year-old when our daycare provider moved out of town.
Hanna never did well in large daycare facilities--she would cry and cry when it came time for me to leave. Sometimes it took 30 minutes to help her transition.
Just by chance, I saw a poster advertising Beth's ABC House. I enrolled Hanna and discovered that Beth's "daycare" was unique in every way. Far more than "daycare," Hanna received early instruction equal or superior to any preschool I've known. Hanna gained confidence and built friendships with Beth and Jim as well as with other children that continue to this day--and she is 9 now!
I thank God that Beth and Jim were there to provide such loving, consistent care until Hanna finished kindergarten. Hanna just blossomed in their home environment. I recommend Beth's ABC House to anyone with small children that wants individualized care for their child.

Years ago, I attended a daycare led by Beth and Jim Hyland. Beth's daycare allowed me to make lifelong friends and discover my own sense of creativity and curiosity as a little girl. Since that time, I've been through many hardships in my life and found I've had the strength to endure through these hard times and learn from them. I believe this foundation was set early on in my life, particularly during my time as a student of Beth. I've kept up with my best friend from preschool, and I still have vivid memories of days spent learning outside or in the classroom, the kitchen and from my schoolmates and teacher. I can still recall the little lessons that graced each activity and enjoyed every minute of my preschool experience. I've been through many things on my journey to becoming a woman and as a believer in God, and I'm thankful that my awareness of Him and my life as I remember it, started as a member of such a loving, strong and innovative environment.

The best thing about Beth's ABC House is they get to know your child sincerely as an individual. The quality attention your child receives is priceless.
Unlike an institutional daycare, Beth's ABC House provides a warm, loving, stable home environment that encourages excellence in early learning.
Well-thought-out preschool activities promote positive social interaction, sound educational fundamentals, Christian values and life skills. We also loved how they incorporate options for academics, creativity and free play so necessary for these age groups. Both our children who attended Beth's ABC House were very well-prepared to enter Kindergarten.
We feel Beth and Jim were a blessing to our family and it is our pleasure to recommend Beth's ABC House as our #1 daycare in Pullman!
Sincerely,

When I moved to Pullman in July of 2004, my daughter was six months old. WSU provided me with a list of providers in Pullman. I was immediately impressed with the welcoming, inviting attitude of the man that answered the phone at Beth’s ABC House. That day I went to their house and was utterly impressed! My daughter has been attending their childcare for 2 ½ years now. There are no words to describe the relief and satisfaction you get when you feel completely safe and comfortable leaving your child to be cared for by someone you know you can trust. Everyone that meets my daughter is shocked by her intelligence and her amazing manners. I can honestly say this is because of Beth and her husband Jim, because without them in our lives she would not be the amazing little girl that she is. I would recommend this daycare/school to any and every person that is considering providing the best possible care for their children.

We now have all three of our children enrolled in Miss Beth's ABC House. The activities, field trips, etc., that our children experience while under Miss Beth's care are not only fun but enriching as well. We feel so fortunate to have found such a loving and nurturing environment for our children and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality child care for their children.

Our son has been attending Beth’s ABC House since he was 15 months old. He is now 4 ½. He has spent his days with Beth and Jim learning songs, letters, writing, science, math, and cooking, but more than that, he has learned that he is an important member of a community. Beth and Jim create an environment where the children are valued and expected to value one another. Their attention and focus on creating a warm, loving, fun, and encouraging environment results in a peaceful, safe, and consistent experience for the children in their care. Luke looks forward to his days at Beth’s ABC House. Among his favorite activities are the sand box, cooking, “school time”, playing pretend, and getting hugs from Miss Beth.

Beth's ABC House has been a nurturing, stable and save environment for our 4 1/2 year old daughter. Over the past 3 years she has learned to read and write, engaged in weekly creative art and craft projects, learned dozens of songs, poems, gained knowledge about countries, occupations, basic science concepts, experienced regular field trips and library visits, and learned to follow rules, cooperate and be responsible. Beth and Jim structure these activities in a way that still lets the kids be kids - with plenty of time to play and have fun.
We highly recommend Beth's ABC House and feel very fortunate to have had our daughter there over these last 3 years. In fact, we suspect that much of the quality parenting that people think we do, is actually the result of the quality care and education provided by Beth's ABC House.

After the Washington State University Children’s Center told us they didn’t have space for our son Bryan, we searched the area for a quality preschool. We visited several places around town and eventually heard about Beth’s ABC House. We were so impressed with owners/teachers Beth and Jim Hyland and the way they converted their home into a warm and caring environment for children. It is a clean and spacious house in a beautiful neighborhood--designed perfectly to foster learning and meet the physical demands of energetic young kids. We were extremely impressed with the preschool curriculum. Following our son’s graduation from Beth’s ABC House, he immediately excelled in school. The Hyland’s are preschool professionals with the warmest of hearts. They really made our son feel at home. They made him feel special. We highly recommend Beth’s ABC House to anyone.
