Bright Beginnings Childcare & Learning Center

Bright Beginnings provides wonderful care. The staff is loving and knowledgeable and truly love what they do. It's definitely a must go to place if you're looking for a reliable and safe place.

When I was looking for a place for my infant to go after my maternity leave, scoured websites, and toured a few facilities before choosing bright beginnings. I did work as a daycare teacher out of college, so I had a critical eye on curriculum and standards. From my first meeting, and still today almost 4 years later, communication and relationships have been great with the teachers and director. I love the curriculum and my child has been exceeding learning milestones. My daughter loves going to school each day, and we are thankful to find a place that cares for our child.

As a first time parent who toured several centers, Bright Beginnings immediately felt like a second home for my child (and I was right, she loves it here). I have been so happy with our experience in the infant room and now the toddler room. The teachers are warm, knowledgeable, and very quick to communicate. They also use and frequently update information on an app, so you can know what your kiddo is doing in real time and get some nice pics/videos (play, diapers, meals/bottles, etc. are all tracked). They have automatic electronic payments which is nice (some other places I looked at give you a little paper report card at the end of the day and only take checks as payment). Also, my daughter loves their playground :)

We love Bright Beginnings and Learning Center!! We brought our daughter to the Chisago Center when she was a baby and was able to move to the East Bethel location to better accommodate our commute. The development I have seen in my now toddler shocks me at times, and I feel like the work they do with the kids is a big reason why. Wouldn’t think twice about bringing my child or children to Bright Beginnings!!

Finished a tour this morning and knew this is not where I would bring my daughter within seconds of entering. No introduction or acknowledgement of my 3 year old who would have been attending. The place looks unorganized and filthy, too many kids in a small room with nearly all Of the toys scattered everywhere, no acknowledgement by the other staff either, all of which who look like they just rolled out of bed. We were welcomed right into the playroom with our dirty shoes, where the kids play (no worries my husband just got out of the barn), and then on our way outside, one of the teachers swings the large door shut behind her without looking, while a small child backs out of the way and removes her fingers from the door. The teachers says “whoops.” Listen, if you are displeased with behavior during a first impression, that is a MAJOR warning sign. No thank you.
