Description: The growth and development during the first five years of life is the most influential and crucial time in a child’s life. That’s why at Brighter Beginnings Early Learning Center we strive to create an environment where children have the opportunity to learn and grown physically, intellectually, emotionally, morally, and socially!
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

This center is absolutely wonderful . The teachers are so caring , and professional . The directors are very nice and run a great program . One of the better daycares in Eau Claire for sure .
Not sure where to begin with this place. They owe me money and came up with some crap story after almost a year. They supposedly can't pay me because they are under different owner ship. It isn't like it was just a couple dollars they owe me. I am a single mother of a two year old boy and those hundreds that they owe me actually do matter. I have been calling them for the last 8 months. They either don't answer or lie when they say they will call back. While he attended daycare there I only liked one of his teachers. He would be crying when I dropped him off and he would be crying when I picked him up. He is a boy that is not shy and rarely cries. So this picture never seemed right to me. It makes me sick to my stomach to know that I sent my little boy there. With everything said and done I will never have respect for this place and the people that I have dealt with there
