I am an employee

Being at the center for 17 years I have watched employees as well as families come and go. That being said doesn't reflect on the care and love given here. We have a great group of teachers that give all they have to ensure a safe and loving environment for all the children that have been a part of our center.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My grandson was enrolled in Bright Start for over 4 years and just started Kindergarten last month. He really enjoyed the staff and friends that he made over the years. The activities and learning environment helped to prepare him for elementary school. The staff were always professional and engaging with the children and parents. The children really enjoyed holidays since special activities were planned with parties and goodies. The older children enjoyed field trips to locations close to the Center. The owner made arrangements with the local fire department to bring a fire truck to the Center so the children could see the inside of the truck. Operating the fire hose seemed to be a big hit until one child turned the hose and sprayed some teachers and parents standing nearby. I would highly recommend Bright Start since they really emphasize learning and fun activities for the children.

My daughter has been enrolled at Brightstart for about 2 years now. My finace was a little hesitant about putting her in daycare but we have NOT been disappointed. She has learned so much in the time she has been there. I have been so pleased with the owners, teachers and all staff. All the children are great too. This center goes above and beyond all centers. It is a very loving, caring, and family oriented facility, and all my daughters number of teachers genuinely caring, loving people who treat it like its more than a job. Definitely the ABSOLUTE BEST center in the area. I would recommend this center to anyone. I will be so disappointed when my daughter goes on to school and we have to leave everyone behind.
