My children (ages 4, 6, and 7) started here when the new owners took over (started June 2025) and are still enrolled. The new staff and owners have been super accommodating to all of my children, especially my special needs 7 year old. Due to her not being 100% potty trained, I had a hard time finding her a daycare. I went in and toured the school with Ms. Jenay, told her all the things about my daughter and she was the first day care to actually ask questions in return on how to better accommodate my daughter while she is in her care. Offered therapy services as well. My daughter strives there, she has no issues with her accommodations being met. My daughter has been discriminated against by other day cares, but at bright minds they expanded their library because my daughter loves to read. They have been very inclusive with her and it brings me peace of mind as a single mom to know she is appropriately taken care of. Very rarely have I had an issue, when an issue arose with my child and another, it was addressed immediately and handled age appropriately. I really adore all teachers and staff and my children do as well. Thank you bright minds for accepting my family and being accommodating to the Down syndrome community 🫶🏼

Bright Minds has been wonderful for my 2 year old! The director is so attentive, kind, and genuinely caring. She is always responsive and goes above and beyond to make families feel comfortable. We’ve had a great experience and highly recommend Bright Minds!

Bright Minds Children Academy has been caring for my son since he was 4 months old. He’s now 18 months and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. He absolutely loves going to school every day! The teachers are amazing, caring, and truly invested in his growth. I’ve watched him learn so much and develop new skills, and it’s clear he feels safe and loved there. I’m usually very selective about who I trust with my child, but I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands at Bright Minds Children Academy.

Long and overdue review. We started at this daycare February 2021, my daughter was 6months old. I visited many locations and this one was it until we left for Kindergarten. The location, the security, walking in smelled clean and not like kids had been playing with germs all day. The care my child had since 6months old gave me a comfort and security. Mr. Masoor, the previous director hold a special place in my heart! All of my concerns were addressed immediately and I saw the change In Whatever the situation was. We then got Ms. Jenay! And with that came a lot of changes, for the better, new curricular programs, structure, new floors, toys, and faces. She helped with the graduation of the kindergarten class, she got the school to be an accredited learning facility, play ground covers for the kids, she opened up the basement that had been closed, re-did the actual preschool room, had parent teacher conferences, and eliminated any staff that weren’t to her standards or proper accreditation. To the teachers who cared for Dianna, THANK YOU. Even the ones who didn’t stay our whole journey. Every Single Last One Of You. Thank you for loving my child, thank you for letting me know about every thing going on, thank you for making this easy for us. We left this school excited for our new journey but sad we’d be leaving the place we had grown so much in. I am so grateful of my years here at Bright Minds, show up and show out for your child and they will too! Special s/o to Ms. Ardo( I will miss you so much and our kids grew up together!), Ms. Emily, Ms. Bridgette, and MS. JACKIE!!!!! <3

As a mother it’s always hard finding let alone trusting a place to care for our children. My son has been at Bright minds for almost 3 years and I cannot express how grateful I am for this center. Their staff is wonderful. My son has learned so much and absolutely loves going. He looks forward to it every morning. The love and care they have showed him and all the other children is beyond words. Jenay has been so supportive and has made sure to make the center feel like home.
