"They do a great job keeping the kids entertained and constantly learning new things"
Read More

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""

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.
