Brightside Academy INC.

I have nothing but good things to say about this daycare. I’m constantly informed and on the same page with the staff. They are supportive in so many ways. I switched daycares over 6 months ago and from day one my little girl walks right in with a smile. I think that says a lot about a daycare. Hands down best decision I made in choosing a daycare.

My kids attended Brightside Academy for years even though I was unhappy with them, they are the only daycare in the city of Jeannette. I have witnessed staff verbally abuse kids on a daily basis, there is no activites for them to do there is no field trips. In the summer time the school age kids are cramed in a room together with absolutely nothing to do all day and when the children start to fight due to being bored they are suspended or disciplined. I also had a teacher Miss Jenn pinched my son so hard in the neck she made him bleed, she was caught lying about it and was only suspended while they investigated however with a room of 3 year olds how much can you investigate and of course it was deemed my son was lying however every time I seen the teacher she smartly smiled at me and said smart remarks. This teacher was not fired and my son had to be switched rooms Please do not send your children to this place it will be worth the extra time and money to send your kids out of the city there is so many incidents that I don't have the time to post not just with my kids but 90% of them that attended.

Switched to this school from KinderCare in greensburgh and seen a complete 180 turn in my son . The teachers genuinely care about the kids And they do learn a lot .

My kids have learned so much attending brightside. they have a certified teacher who cares about the development of young kids, and communicates with parents. Best decision!!

If your child is autistic and has behavior issues stay away from this school kfor headatart/pre k you will have to do meetings with into the vice president shawna who will call cyf on you....my son had services in place before starting that place never was sent home till putting him in this school being suspended due to his behaviors they called cyf saying I had inadequate health care and he was in governable and when they came out I handed the case worker over 2k pages of documents and evaluations and all the doctors he had seen and therapists they closed my case.....they don't help you they make ur kids worse and try to get the parents in trouble for a child with behavior problems then I left my youngest one in there and he started developing behavior problems then started the meetings and behold cyf was called again....if ur child has any behavior problems I would chose another place to take ur child I should've removed my 2nd child after there first bogus cyf call....my children are well cared for and I also have my certificate to mandate child abuse I did the training too
