I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My two boys has been attending this daycare since they were 2 yrs old. My oldest is turning 7 and the youngest is turning 4. They have an amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing our boys get excited about going to daycare. The staff really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment . I’m happy to say that your little one will be in secure and safe hands! Therefore we couldn’t be happier with our daycare choice.

I’ve used this provider for 3 years, my son loves going to daycare, he’s learned his colors, numbers, ABC and he also learned how to trace his letters, he’s come home Singing new songs and always talking about how much fun he had with the other kids. The providers are very nice they have let me know when something is wrong, they clean it.

Shinin Starz daycare center is an amazing place! I began using their service for both full day care as well as after school program for 8 years total. Referring friends and family as I will most definitely recommend them to my loved ones without a doubt. The care both my kids received as well as the rest of the children was always top notch. My son would actually not ever wanted to leave when I would go and pick them up. I have the best memories for the 2 during this time of their lives. The place is always immaculately clean and the activities in which every child is expose to will for sure assist in the development of their social skills.

Love Shining Starz daycare, they took care of my daughter back in 2017 until she turned 4 and have been taking care of my son since he was 3 months old and now he is about to turn 4. Very reliable,safe,friendly, clean and great with kids. Would definitely recommend. It’s great seeing my son get excited about going to daycare. Keep the good job and couldn’t have done a better choice.

I am so happy I came across Shining Starz daycare. At the beginning I was going through separation anxiety but the provider and assistants made the transition super easy for both me and my son. Within weeks my then 2 year old would come home sining children's songs and speaking about his new friends at school. The staff at SS daycare are all so sweet and attentive with both parents and children. What I love best is asking my little one about his day but also what he eats. All meals are home made and fresh which is a plus for both him and I. The months calendars are build around amazing activities and fun projects. Thank you for the amazing services.

I took my oldest daughter to shining starz from the age of 2 up until she started kindergarten. My son who is now 3 has been attending since 6 months.

Both of my kids have learned so much! They love the staff like family because thats how they are treated. Any concerns that they have regarding health or development have always been brought to my attention.

My kids both raved about all the activities and fun they have while at shining starz. I highly recommend them!

My daughter was in Shining Starz from the time she was 3 months old to the age of 4. The owner Bernice & her staff did a great job at taking care of my daughter as if she was their own. More importantly the daycare was extremely clean at all times. Bernice always made herself available & was great with communication. I will definitely recommend this daycare to my friends and family.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I had my son at Shining Starz & I was not happy at all. At first the providers were nice & seem so attentive but after a few weeks of my son being there I noticed how he came home with small starches (probably came from long nails or jewelry) & even came home with a rash, That was the last day he attended that daycare. He was out for about 3 weeks & none of the providers gave a courtesy call to see how he was doing or what kind of rash he had so I felt like she didn't care about her student. When I asked one of the providers if any other student had a rash that probably passed it to my son, she told me a child recently had the hands, foot & mouth diseases & I was never once notified about it, but thank god my son didn't have that disease.
