The school has definitely gotten better over the months that my kids have been there. They have a new director who is very caring, listens to what u have to say, and just overall very nice and good at her job. I love that they brought in new teachers who are actually nice and love their job !!! They want to see your child thrive and don’t belittle children because of behavior issues or anything else, they want to work with you and your child to help them and even help you. Im happy to see that the center is evolving and doing better. SO happy things are getting better it makes me feel really good.

This daycare is amazing very secure there is no child leaving without the proper verification. My daughter comes home well fed , tired as ever which lets me know they were very active, and she also has many new friends and loves all her teachers. Hands down the best daycare I’ve crossed. My daughter favorite is Ms.Regina she made us both feel like we were right home with family my daughter gets excited in the morning when she gets to see Ms. Regina before class. If you’ve been looking for a good place that feels like a village to help with your baby Brightside academy 138 w chelten ave is the place to be.

Ms.Regina talks down on teen mothers and staff. Says she hates people with kids because of how sensitive they are. She speaks to staff with no respect causing them to leave. She is rude to children when the parents leave. She does not care about your child she just wants your MONEY.
