  I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bright Smiles and the amazing staff who care for my children every day. My 3-year-old absolutely loves it there, and it’s easy to see why. Ms. Alexis is simply amazing. I had heard glowing recommendations about her from another trusted teacher before my son joined her class, and she has lived up to every word. I was nervous at first, like any parent would be, but Ms. Alexis quickly earned a special place in both my son’s and daughter’s hearts. Her professionalism, thoughtful lesson planning, and consistent communication with parents give me peace of mind every single day. Ms. Tony has also made such a strong impression in a short time. She’s been a wonderful addition to the team and brings so much positivity and care. Ms. Mariah is another standout—down-to-earth, nurturing, and structured in the way the kids need to thrive. The center itself is so well run, thanks to the leadership of Ms. Rami and Ms. Shawnada. They keep everything moving smoothly, and I always feel comfortable bringing them feedback or questions. It’s clear they genuinely care about both the children and the families they serve. I also appreciate the extra enrichment they offer, like tumbling and Spanish classes—it shows they’re truly invested in well-rounded development. Although it’s technically separate, the ESK afterschool program deserves its own shout-out. Ms. Ken has created a space my son genuinely enjoys. He looks forward to going, and that says it all. The environment is fun, safe, and supportive. Lastly, I’m so thankful for what Ms. Rami is doing in the community—providing care when CPS is out has been a lifesaver for our family. It’s such an important and much-needed resource for working parents like me. Bright Smiles is more than just a daycare—it’s a place where my kids are happy, growing, and loved.

  Bright Smiles Daycare has been such a blessing for our family. All three of my kids-Gigi, Aaden, and Justin attend, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. Gigi is looked after by Ms. Alexis, who is incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive. Gigi absolutely adores her and even calls her “my bestie,” which says so much about the bond they’ve formed. Aaden and Justin are cared for by Ms. Ken, who has a special way of connecting with them. She’s firm when needed but always nurturing and understanding. What truly makes Bright Smiles stand out is the way the entire staff treats the children like family. It’s clear that they’re not just doing a job, they’re genuinely invested in each child’s growth, happiness, and well-being. Ms. Rami, the owner, has created a warm, welcoming environment where kids are not only cared for but truly loved. She leads with heart, she’s passionate about her business and has built a team that reflects that same energy. Our experience over the past three years has been nothing short of amazing. From the day we walked in, we’ve felt supported and seen, and most importantly, the kids have felt safe and happy. I drop my kids off each day knowing they’re in the best hands, and that peace of mind is everything. Thank you for all that you do Bright Smiles ❤️❤️

  Amazing daycare and amazing staff! The owner, Ms. Rami took in my daughter when she was a month shy of two years old. She has always been friendly and helpful and understanding. My daughter has grown so much in these past two years and loves going to school everyday. The teachers are incredible and kind and have become my daughter’s best friends (“Ms. Mariah is my best friend” my 4 year old’s words!) She is more than prepared for Pre-Kindergarten next school year. Bright Smile Daycare is the only daycare I will ever recommend!

  Bright Smiles Daycare means so much to my entire family! Ms. Rami opened her doors to us 7 years ago at her home daycare and then we transitioned into her location on 87th. Since day one she has poured so much into my son and she saw his strengths and gifted ability at an early age. She spent so much time teaching him and helping him grow into the awesome kid we all know him to be today. We grew very fond of Ms. Rami because of her tender love and care for all kids and soon we’d become more like family. I love how she loves the kids and loves what she does. She handpicks a staff that also loves what they do and I was so glad that my son can also be at her daycare center where the staff goes above and beyond to help not just my child, but all kids. We love Ms. Rami and admire her vision and knack for helping others and send encouragement to any future endeavors she has. Keep going Ms. Rami! Thank you for being selfless and all the years you have helped our family. Thank you Bright Smiles Daycare and Ms. Ken for also being a blessing to our family and aiding in my son’s growth! They offer a number of different resources to kids, they do yoga and mindfulness with the children after school (my son is 7 on the bigger kid side), they provide fresh meals and assist with homework daily. I really appreciate both Ms. Rami and Bright Smiles Daycare for being apart of our village. We can’t thank you guys enough. :)

  The staff genuinely care about the children that they work with. My child has faced some trauma so she has some behavior issues. I really appreciate how much Ms. Mariah takes time to understand my child and give her the individual support she needs. Ms. Alexis is awesome, she is so helpful, patient, she goes the extra mile and you can tell she really loves working with children. Ms. Toni hasn’t been there long but I already love her. She has a kind spirit and works well with the children. Overall great daycare.
