Bright academy is a great place for children. Ms.marista does a good job with pre K and helps the child learn at early ages! The staff is super kind as well :)

We've been incredibly happy with this daycare. My son started here at about 2 years old and has now been in a couple of different classroom's as he's grown. Shortly after we started, the center got a new director and while I was worried that the dynamic might change, it's only ever improved. My son loves his teachers. They're kind and affectionate, and they really seem to try very hard to provide great learning experiences for the kids. He often gets excited to show a particular teacher his new cool shirt or a picture he drew or to share a math fact that he's learned. The discipline style really works great for us. While many daycares turn a blind eye to hitting, sassing, or being generally destructive, these teachers will gently redirect the kids and will prevent them from being totally chaotic. They really seem to care that the kids learn how to behave right. They're continually improving, too. Since my son started attending, they've upgraded many of the toys and furniture and have started a little vegetable garden next to the playground. My son's classroom has a fish that they care for and is continually decorated with fun ways for the kids to learn, as well as with the kids art work. The art projects are fun, but also instructional, focusing on things like learning about colors, shapes, letters, numbers, seasons and weather, and other preschooly topics. They seem to read to the kids quite a lot and my son has made amazing progress with his early math and reading skills. I can't speak highly enough about this daycare and I'm so happy that we were able to get a spot here.

I feel like the sanitation isn't so great here.....my infant was sick almost every day here and I really think there is a virus in the air here EVERY KID HAS RUNNY NOSES, I EVEN CAME IN TO PICK UP MY SON AND ANOTHER KID HAD PINK EYE? WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ACCEPT A KID AND NOT EXAMINE EACH CHILD UPON ARRIVALS? Following that my baby had bleach all over his clothes like wow really brand new outfit gone............the staff is nice but they often don't change diapers so you may pick your kid up to a big wet diaper and I didn't like that. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!

Bright Academy is the best Daycare that I seen so far. My kids love this place so much. All the staffs are friendly and so kind. This center offers healthy foods to the children.

Very cheap people. They don't offer their employees PTO and the kids aren't learning anything. The kids barely have anything to do most of the day. This was the most unorganized daycare I've ever seen.
