  • It’s very sad when your 3 year old nephew attends this place for a year and still could not count to even 5. Their day to day curriculum is not set up for your child to succeed and advance. What they would send in their daily learning logs was anything but that. They hardly do any activities that will help your child learn and grown. This is a DAYCARE at best. Not a LEARNING center. If you want your child to thrive do not send them here. The owner needs to do better. The teachers need to do better!

  • I highly recommend BBLA!! The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about their students’ success. The curriculum is well-structured, blending theory with hands-on practice, which makes learning engaging and effective. The staff creates a welcoming environment where students feel supported and motivated. I’ve seen tremendous growth and confidence in my child. This academy is an excellent choice for anyone looking for their child to be safe, learn and excel!!!

  • I used to enjoy this place but just like any other, good only for so long now without good management it is going downhill. They have a bunch of kids working there who are happy to boss your kids around. Not really too much structure anymore. On top of that, they will close days before holidays and days of holidays and won't tell you until the day before they close. It is starting to get super frustrating and as a parent I am going to start looking for a better care for my children than here!

  • I love this daycare Soo much just wanted to give a shout out to bright beginning's. They have been family since my son have started and I genuinely love the genuine love and peaceful fun atmosphere they have for the kids and also the parents. I will always recommend anyone to come here. And mrs.tonya is my nana and she treats all kids like her grandkids love her bunches!!!

  • Bright Beginnings has been a real blessing for our family. My son has been behind developmentally due to the Covid lockdown and other factors. Since we started coming to Bright Beginnings in May of 2024, he has potty trained and is speaking! We thought he would have to use a tablet to communicate based on his speech therapist’s recommendation. BB’s teachers and staff have helped him come out of his shell. He’s speaking clearer without his tablet. He’s learning his alphabet, numbers, & even sight words! He’s only 4! It’s amazing to see the growth he’s achieved. We are so thankful for Bright Beginnings.

  • Mrs .Georgia is very loving but I went to drop off my son for breakfast since my girlfriend went in early and my son started to run for me and Mrs.Tonya tells my son you may can do that with your daddy but not with me as I was walking off. She is very rude and not gentle with the children. We will be finding another daycare Wednesday. The owner is barely ever there when I wanted to make a complaint . Most of the kids have runny noses and are very sick .
