  • The building smells so clean and the kids looked like they were really enjoying themselves! Super recommended! 💯🙌🏽

  • I went in today to view the facility and met with the owner/ director. As I entered the building, I noticed the visually appealing set-up and decor of the two classroom sections. It was bright and colorful, yet quaint which I liked because that allows for smaller groups, as there is an adherence to ratios. It was an open concept which allows everything to be seen. As I left, I saw the children out on the playground having fun and appearing to be happy. The staff was positioned in a place where the children could be seen and I liked that as well. The equipment was in good shape and there was plenty of it. In speaking with the owner, we talked about various programs that would lend themselves to transitioning to Elementary School once children aged out of the preschool and pre-K programs.

  • This daycare is AMAZING ❤️ The wellbeing of the children are ALWAYS the owners top priority. I am alway well informed, and more than willing to adapt to any changes having to be made so my daughter, and the people care for her can be happy😇. If you want your child in a Clean🤩, engaging, and loving environment, THIS IS THE DAYCARE🙏🏾

  • 3 minutes ago NEW They are false advertising, they are not open from 6am -6pm , they are opened from 7:45am-5pm and in the summer they are close every Friday til regular schools season starts back in September, they do not specialize in one on one or good educational services, it’s a very small daycare and it all ages in one room, literally can stand in one spot and view every room, not enough space inside for kids and they are on top of each other , lunches not that great son never ate and when he did it was food he can recognize, he threw up a couple of times , when preparing food they never wear gloves and does not pay attention to kids eating habits, my son has a speech and mental delay and which they knew when i Enrolled him soon as it got short staffed my child was told he can’t attend school on Fridays, i offered that his therapist could come on Fridays and they rejected the help saying that it was no space or no where inside the daycare where my son and the therapist could work, then asked me to get a IEP that they could not refer or provide. Then every-time my son would have a bad day they would call for me to pick him up like i don’t work. When they don’t want to be bothered with your child their solution is sending them home. Discriminates against children who may require more attention. Discipline kids by strapping them into a small infant high chair like seat instead of redirecting the children to something educational or productive. My son has a mental delay and strapping him in this small high chair is not the answer , he be crying when i picked him up. Let other children go home in other children clothing or coats and socks which let me know staff does not pay attention, does not have a daily curriculum. Put in two weeks for my son to transfer to another facility and they didn’t let my son complete the last two weeks, thank good the new provider stepped up will allow my son to go to their facility so he would miss a day of learning. Owner is so unprofessional, has a slight smart mouth and attitude problem. Doesn’t keep a consistent staff always new staff working so you kids are around different people they don’t know. Starts of caring and compassionate but end up a disaster for kids … wouldn’t recommend for day care age kids or special need kids !

  • I love Brite Kidd’s daycare all of the staff there is properly trained the owners cares about the kids as if it was their own. I’ve witness a two years old reading very well that was due to the curriculum they where using to help the children be on track. When I say that there are no child left behind there it’s the truth. And on top of that they makesure every child needs is met there I feel that( brite Kidd’s early advancement )is the right name for that business. literally all of the kids there are advanced at an early age You Should Definitely Bring Your Kidd’s There
