The director shows a lack of concern for the kids when incidents happen. They do not know their mission statement. They do not follow their own protocol when having issues. Teachers just watch the kids and feed them. Unless your child is a teacher pet don't expect much. Parents are not welcome to drop by. They discourage parent interaction. Not a happy friendly place. No problem solving or understanding parents concerns over issues. "It is just. Daycare".

My daughter's Mother enrolled her into Bright Beginnings August 2012. My experiences with Bright Beginnings led me to believe that they are not a Father friendly daycare. When I requested from them attendance and invoicing records for my daughter they had a normal staff worker tell me that I would have to get a subpoena to get this information. It is state law that both parents are to have access to this information upon request. When I sent them a letter explaining their error and referenced the NC statute, Bright Beginnings failed to respond. Another instance was when our Judge modified the custody to joint shared 1 week rotation and I had to enroll our daughter into another daycare. That daycare was happy to charge me only for the weeks that she was there. Bright Beginnings continued to charge every week including the ones where she was at the other daycare. Another instance was her Pre-K graduation. My daughters Mother didn't want me to attend her graduation so she didn't tell me about it. Even though I picked up my daughter at Bright Beginnings every other Friday, None of the staff would communicate anything to me including her graduation information.. Because I was not aware of her graduation, I missed it. If you are looking for a daycare that helps the Mother to alienate the Father from his children then Bright Beginnings is for you. If you are looking for a daycare that promotes shared parenting and equal access then you should continue searching.

Every single time I see these kids in the library, the staff are constantly scolding them. I've never once seen the staff smile at the children. The staff always look grumpy, irritated, and exasperated with the children. I would not consider enrolling my child at Bright Beginnings. If you really want to observe the caretakers' behavior, check them out at activities they attend from a distance to see "the real Bright Beginnings." It saddens me to see that the staff don't take pride in what they do. Bright Beginnings's your basic daycare on the low end.
