I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son was abused at this center and both Nicole and Deidre tried hiding it. My son was put into a trash can by another teacher and came home with finger print bruises around his ribs. This daycare abuses children and hides it. I witnessed Nicole lie about calling cps when another teacher hit another child. The director has been sued in 2018 at her last center for hiding child abuse. Google search Nicole Nelson kindercare lawsuit. Both Nicole and Deidre have been sued by pervious daycares. Is that who you want or trust watching your children??

About the Provider

Advertisement
First and foremost we provide the best possible environment for a child. Children learn best when they are engaged and interested, and what better way to do that than to have fun while learning. While at our Academy your child will have plenty of time working on teacher directed activities. However learning at Bright Start Academy is also designed to be informal and flexible so the children are allowed to explore, discover and create. It is also varied in nature so the children discover themselves first as individuals, and then relate to others in their group. Bright Start Academy has experienced professional staff. Our Directors have at least 10 years as Directors. Our nurturing and caring staff receives on-going training throughout the year by attending various workshops related to the field of early childhood education. By being trained properly and having stability in management, the turnover in our staff is very low compared to other schools. This stability and continuity is important to your child’s emotional and educational growth. And of course at Bright Start we pride ourselves on providing unsurpassed value. As you check our tuition rates you will find that we are among the most affordable schools in the St. Louis metro area.
