We have had 3 kids at BB over the years. each kid started as an infant and has been working up through preK. We have seen alot of teachers come through. I like the current staff and trust them with my kids. And more importantly my kids love them. I like the recent changes and hope they are sustainable. We are happy with BB and they meet our needs as a full time daycare/preschool. I would recommend.

My son started in the 15month class and is now in the pre-K class. We have loved our time here! Every teacher and staff person has been incredible. He wakes up every morning excited to go to school.

Highly recommend. My two children were at Bright Beginnings for 4 years and the day it was time for them to move on to a different school, we all cried along with my children’s teachers because we would miss them so much. It is challenging to find reliable childcare wherever you go, and I can say that we have been truly blessed to have our children grow with this preschool. Forever grateful for all the care they provided.

Bright Beginnings has been a great experience for our family. Our daughter started when she was has 15 months and now shes is 2 yrs old. As parents we are happy to say that she has flourished in many ways and she is happy there :) We couldn't be more thankful for that. She spends a lot of time outside playing, doing some fun activities and also having their meals/snacks. This is great and my daughter loves it. My family and I are grateful for this preschool and would definitely recommend it!
