About
My name is Gbessay Graham
Owner/Principal
My passion for early childhood education stems from a deep belief that the earliest years of life shape who children become. I founded Beginning of Imagination Learning Center to create a nurturing space where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn, and where families feel supported and heard. I have witnessed firsthand how nurturing relationships, intentional learning environments, and strong partnerships with families can have a lasting impact on a child’s confidence, development, and love for learning—especially through watching my nieces and nephews grow during their early years. This center reflects my commitment to honoring each child’s individuality, supporting the development of the whole child, and building a caring community where imagination, growth, and meaningful connections come together. Driven by this passion and a desire to deepen my understanding of whole-child development, I pursued higher education and earned my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Development from Concordia University.

"My son has been attending this daycare since he was about 10 months old, and he is now 18 months, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. His teacher is absolutely amazing. She works so well with him and truly cares about his development. Every day, I can see how much he is learning and growing under her care. He often comes home showing me new things he learned that day, which makes me so happy as a parent. It’s clear that she puts a lot of love, patience, and effort into teaching the children. I feel confident and grateful knowing my son is in such great hands."
