We love this school so much! We put our daughter here starting 3K and now she is in Pre-K. They helped her learn so much and become independent. They even helped her potty train. Something else I’ll never forget is when we had to go out of the country for vacation and our daughter was going to miss the school pictures. They photoshopped her in the class photo… this is something we will keep and cherish forever. Thank you so much Bright Beginnings for everything you do for our kids! We appreciate you all!
My daughter is really enjoying the 3k program. She's learning so much every day.
Bright beginning is a great school however once your child reaches the 3k program be very careful of the teachers and where your child is placed. My child was here since 6 months old. She enjoyed her time up until it was her 3k experience, which was not so great. They need to work on how staff handle the children especially when it comes to letting the kids do as they please. The 3k program need way more structure than it is letting kids do as they please should not be happening and watching the kids and helping, their learning experience also. My kid is very smart they were not challenging her to her full potential they would let her get bored and do whatever she wants. I do not recommend the 3k program. If you are looking for your child just to be watched, then hey infancy till twos program recommended. So, if you guys couldn't address or fix these issues within the three years of my child being there, they sure cannot be addressed now that I pulled her from the program. Things are supposed to get better in time especially when given the benefit or the concerns of parents whom child is enrolled in the program.
My son Elijah has been attending Bright Beginnings since he was 3 months old he is now 1 and a half years old. He recently moved from the infant to the toddler class. I have seen how much he has progressed as he has advanced in age and in groups. Bright Beginnings follows a center based curriculum where they have themes that last for a month or two depending on how the children are responding to the exposure to new concepts and words. My child comes home saying words, makes animals sounds and identifies objects. He is also learning directions and how to follow instructions. He socializes in school and I see this expanded to outside the classroom. They were concern when my child began walking that there might be an issue. They assisted me in getting my child to a Doctor who determined he needed a brace and the issue would correct itself. Being a new mom I wouldn’t have noticed the problem or even the steps I needed to take. Thanks for all your help!
The daycare is good they take care of the children with optimal care & making sure they follow the care instructions for each child. I would have gave them four stars but since the daycare closes to much for a multiple amount of days I only give this daycare a two star. I don’t like that when the public schools are closed the daycare is closed as well, that’s unfair for the parents that work because it’s not beneficial for us if we have no back up option when schools are closed. Thats what daycare are for to be a back up option, so that’s very inconvenient for working parents. I understand that this daycare has a preschool as well such as 3K which is under the department of education. Only the 3k & preschool program should follow the closing days for public schools not the daycare. This is the only daycare that takes unnecessary closings to follow the public schools. I feel like they just do that for their own personal needs & use the public school as an excuse. I hope the HRA department isn’t still paying them for childcare when they are closed because that’s a scam & a rip off because they are not caring for the children at the daycare since they are closed following the public school closing days. Also, this establishment has new operating staff members that are very rude & dismissive while talking to parents. They tend to cut the parents off a lot while the parents are talking and not listen to the parents because they think they are always right or don’t care what the parents has to say. The staff could be very disorganized and tend to lose or misplace the children personal belongings very frequently. I miss Evette she was the best program director.
