Best daycare in the area. Both of my kids have attended Bright Heights Learning Center, and I have had nothing but a positive experience. The staff and teachers create a loving and caring environment. I not only feel that my kids are well taken care of, but they also gain the necessary knowledge to excel when they start kindergarten. The food is also included, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of packing lunch each day. I strongly recommend it.

My daughter had an amazing experience here from ages 3 to Pre-K. Her teachers poured so much love into her, and she would always tell me how much she missed her teachers when she came home. She also learned how to count and say her days of the week in Spanish. Bright Heights was very accommodating with my military schedule and holding her spot while I was away and my daughter was with family. I couldn't recommend them more.

I’m not one typically to post reviews, but every once in a blue moon there is an exception. No one can convince me that Bright Heights is not the premier daycare in our area. My son has been attending for over a year and my daughter joined him about 2 months ago. Both are individuals and have their smiles and laughs but also their tantrums and areas where they need extra help. Bright height’s staff are empathetic and adaptive. They are honest, kind and caring individuals. They cheer for my kids and root for their success. They’ve learned what makes my children shine brighter and where they may need extra support; and they use this information strategically to pull out the best behaviors in all the kids they oversee. AND a bonus is- I get to receive photos and videos of my kids in their activities throughout the week. They are receptive to feedback and I have had nothing but positive interactions with all staff members. Ms. Charmaine has a wonderful staff and is an involved leader. All this to say if you are seeking daycare, this place and its people are trustworthy and passionate and I highly recommend.

I am a nervous FTM so daycare was a tough decision. But wow - the folks at BHLC are really incredible. My four month old son clearly enjoys going and is happily exhausted when I pick him up. I so appreciate the app updates and pictures throughout the day too. The staff are exceptional and deeply care. I love how they all say hello and goodbye to him each day. It just feels like they really care for his well being and happiness. What more could a mom want? Thank you BHLC!!

Our three kids attended Bright Heights from 2000 until the last one in 2009. We found a place where staff treated our children like their own. We cannot express in words how appreciative we are of Becky and Amy and all the other staff who cared for our children and taught them so many things. Please "like" my review if you found it helpful or informative.
