Reduce The Cost Of Child Care
Hear What Parents Have To Say...
My son loves all his friends and teachers here. They do a great job keeping the kids entertained and constantly learning new things. You can tell all the teachers love the kids and really enjoy working there. Even through COVID they did everything they could to stay open as long as possible. Bright Start put protocols in place and stayed open much longer than many other places locally. It was a great help for working parents to know that they still had childcare available.

They incorporate education into the day and not just "watch the kids". My son is very very shy and clings to me almost at all times and his teachers have made him feel comfortable and safe. I have no worries about my child throughout the day when I leave him here. The teachers who run the daycare are amazing!! They have never once forgotten who i was there to get, their name, and what room they were in. They run a really good, caring, and trustworthy daycare.

I have 3 kids ranging in ages 7 months to 4 years and they absolutely love everyone at bright start! They are learning so many new things and having fun. The staff feels like family and Miss Amanda is absolutely the most hard working and caring owner! Can't recommend enough!!!
- Jenn Lampert
We just started going to Bright Start and I must say we love them. Our daughter loves her teachers Mindy and Madison! They are so informative and caring and I trust leaving my everything with them! We highly reccomend this amazing place!

My little Leo loves being here during the day. The caregivers are so kind and loving you can tell they all truly care. I have piece of mind when I drop him off knowing he’s in great hands.
My son has been in both the nursery and 1 year old room. All of the staff are absolutely great with him!
- Andi Broerman
I can’t describe how truly comforting it is, knowing he LOVES going to Bright Start! He was talking about his friends there; so sweet. Thank you Amanda and Staff for making such a fun and friendly environment to nurture our little ones! And I really can’t thank you enough for the updates throughout the day with details on how our little one is doing and what he’s eating, etc. Its like we get to be part of his day even though we’re apart. We all adore you! Thanks for being the perfect caregivers!

BrightStart has been such a blessing for my family. Arlo has been going there since he was an infant and he is so happy and comfortable there. The teachers are AMAZING and always greet him in the hallway. The curriculum is thorough, structured, and takes emotional growth into consideration. I love getting pictures everyday and hearing how caring the staff is with Arlo. I love the atmosphere and how close everyone is.
