I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has attended Bright Start EEC since he was 6 weeks old. I am overwhelmed by all the opportunities for my child as he has grown. What parent wouldn’t want their child to have all the things Bright Start can provide? I love knowing that my child is going to learn hygiene through hand washing , social skills, language arts, arts and crafts and gross motor. My son loves going to school and gets excited in the mornings, running to his classroom just like the other children I see every morning. My whole family notices how attentive, caring, and polite the staff is and how happily he is greeted each morning. The teachers are patient with him and work with him tirelessly every day to help him. They soothe him when he falls and provide incident reports. His happiness at Bright Start is evident in how he’s flourished since he’s been there. I know every morning that my son is happy and in good hands, and you can’t put a price on that. We are so grateful for all that Bright Start Early Education has done for our son!

I actually get emotional when I think about everything that you all have done for my son, and how lucky he is to have such a great environment to grow up in. We just couldn’t be more pleased with how our man has progressed with your help. Thank you!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could give this place a negative 5 I would! The way the teachers talk to the children is terrible, I've been told by my child and ex employees that teachers hold down the children while in time out. Not a clean facility I don't understand how this is a DHS approved facility. The have no curriculum, no daily sheets well unless the teachers aren't feeling lazy I guess I get one every once in a great while. The kids are always in front of the tv when I pick up my child. I feel terrible every time I had to drop my child off. I would never ever recommend this place to anyone.

Have witnessed staff being abusive to children. My child has gotten hurt while in attendence. Would not recommend this place. They should be shut down.
