Been good having my girls here since new management started and I have no complaints. Safe clean and professional environment currently. They’re good with me as long as no thefts and my kids are in no danger/harms way…the older kids teach my 5yo new dance moves everyweek lol 😊😊 Good at retrieving missing items, great meal plans and professional employees

I couldn’t be happier with the care my baby receives at Brightside VanPelt! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and at ease. They are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive — I can tell my baby feels safe and happy every single day. The center is always clean, organized, and filled with age-appropriate toys and activities that keep the little ones engaged. Most importantly, Ms. Qway takes great care of my son. She’s not just watching him; she’s helping him grow and thrive. I’m so grateful we found such a nurturing and trustworthy place. Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality infant care!

Miss Alexis is the best director Brightside has ever had. She’s very attentive to her job and is very respectful and compassionate for the parents of her students. I will refer everyone to this Brightside location. They need more leaders like her.
