  • This is the best daycare ever I love it so much the teachers are very trusting and my child loves it there… there is no where else I’ll send my child they have the most love for children not one child feel unloved there

  • This has to be the absolute bestttttt daycare in Chicago. This is a black woman owned and ran business and they do not disappoint. My daughter has been going here for over a year and everyday I’m noticing something new that she is taught at school. She uses so many words that I’ve never heard any other 1 year old say. These women are truly the best. They pay attention to the kids and treat them like their own. Every holiday they are having activities and bringing gifts and baskets home. Also they are very clean and don’t play about hygiene. If you’re looking for a daycare for your little one this is the place to go.

  • I recently visited Brite New Mind Daycare to check out their operational systems, and I was thoroughly impressed! The facility is clean, welcoming, and well-organized, with clear attention to detail in every aspect of the daily routine. The staff are warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about caring for children, which immediately put me at ease. I was particularly impressed by the structured yet nurturing approach they use, ensuring each child feels safe and engaged. The curriculum is thoughtfully planned and provides a wonderful mix of learning, play, and creativity. If you're looking for a daycare in Chicago that prioritizes both safety and growth for young minds, I highly recommend Brite New Mind Daycare!

  • I love the staff here at Brite New Minds. My family and I have always been greeted with the upmost professionalism and enthusiasm!! My son started walking at 10 months and he’s picking up on a ton of cues. So grateful for the staff here at BNM♥️

  • This daycare is not a 5 star daycare both my kids went there and I always had a problem with a teacher. Rockie is rude and never want to listen to the parents, you can never get in touch with the owner Ms.Johnson and she don’t even listen to you. I took my kids out this place is rude and they messy they talk about you and your child to everyone. And they don’t take autistic kid, they turned both of my sisters kids away and told they to find another place. And they use your baby milk and pampers on each other kids.

  • If I could give zero stars I would. Very disappointing staff and disrespectful as well. Talks about the children and parents to other parents and ask parents to donate things only to throw them in the trash. They don't do much with the children and gets upset when it's pointed out. That's probably the reason enrollment is down. Don't send your children here.
