What Parents Say
Brighten Academy Preschool has received mixed reviews. Positive reviewers praise the clean facility, engaged staff, developmental progress in children, and communication with parents. However, negative reviewers reported unprofessional staff conduct, feeling discriminated against, and poor overall experiences.
My son attends this local and we have loved the experience. He is an introverted boy with a speech delay, and before Brighten had a lot of trouble adjusting to new people and environments. Since attending Brighten, we have seen him grow from crying at drop off to saying "Yay, School!" and running ahead of us. He adores his teachers and classmates. The directors are always so friendly and ready to help. Everyone there seems engaged and totally ready to make every day special. I am so happy with the care he receives at school, and feel safe with him being there. My son only attends for the academic enrichment time, and he often comes home with a fun craft, a note about his day, and tells us all about the subject they're working on. This location has cameras you can check in on your baby during the day, which I use often just to see what he's up to. I love it and highly recommend this Brighten Academy to anyone looking to enrich their child's experiences or needing day care.
A few years ago I placed my child at brighten academy in this Clovis location. He was only 3 years old when he attended, his first week was a little rough getting adjusted to. Second week a little the same but his teacher said it's normal so I didn't worry as much. However there was a lady who worked there by the name from what I recall Rachel and I felt it to my soul she acted different with me from the moment she met me. I was only 23 I really didn't understand why but she made me feel like my child was beyond horrible. The week after I spoke with his teacher she said she didn't understand but she said he was adjusting fine and told me stories how she had worst and what he was doing is just adjusting. So I felt better. The third week I called the school letting them know I was stuck on the freeway and I will be no later than 5 min late picking up my son amy was sweet and said not to worry. I go inside and there was Rachel with my son and gave me attitude on how I'm wasting there time on me being late and affecting the afternoon class to start. I didn't say anything but apologized I couldn't control the traffic because of an accident. I went home and I felt uncomfortable by her. I kept telling my husband something is wrong. I really felt she was either targeting me and taking it out on my child I could feel it. Third week I pick my son up as im driving home Rachel calls me and says it would be better if my son attended next year instead and I agreed because the way she made me feel was like if something was wrong with my child. I hung up and cried the way she made me feel was something I wouldn't forget. I highly believe I was instantly discriminated either because I was a young mother or sadly my race but I'm not sure to this day it still bothers me. What I think about also that bothers me was she couldn't even tell me in person she had to call me right after she seen me pick my son up. If I knew what I know now I would've did something about it especially breaking the Title VI law. My child of course is fine but Im now looking for a preschool for my 2 year old and saw the reviews on this school and I wish I would've had the same experience. I'm not trying to bash anyone but that was my experience the way she made me feel was something I never felt by any teacher or anyone from anywhere about my child. I'm thankful for maple Creek but this place I was beyond hurt and disappointed everyone was extremely nice but she in particular made me feel very uncomfortable. I know private schools run different than public schools but to this day I don't know because I know for a fact my child was not even a problem by the way she treated me when all I wanted was my son to have an excellent head start.
