  • Bright Beginning has been an absolute joy for my son and our family. The playground is wonderful—full of swings, bikes, and slides—and I especially appreciate that it’s shaded by trees, creating a comfortable and inviting space for the kids to play. What truly stands out, though, is the staff and teachers. They have gone above and beyond to make my son feel welcomed and supported from the very beginning. It’s clear that they are highly qualified, but even more importantly, you can genuinely see how much they enjoy what they do. Their care, patience, and enthusiasm create such a positive and nurturing environment. I’m very grateful to have found a place where my son feels happy, safe, and excited to learn every day.

  • My daughters had a wonderful experience at Bright Beginnings, and I am so grateful for the teachers and staff who cared for them during their time there. From the very beginning, Miss Alyna made the transition so much easier for both me and my girls. She was incredibly warm, hands-on, and trustworthy, always keeping me updated with how the girls were doing and even sending pictures throughout the day. She supported us through important milestones like potty training, and her dedication left such an impact that my daughters still talk about her with love and excitement. On days she wasn’t there, my girls truly missed her—that’s how strong their bond was. Mrs. Shelly was also a huge part of our positive experience. She was approachable, attentive, and always willing to listen to any concerns. She made it clear that her priority was creating a safe, welcoming, and well-run school where parents felt confident leaving their children. Toward the end of their time at Bright Beginnings, my daughters had Miss Angela as their teacher, and she was equally amazing. Since she had previously assisted in Miss Alyna’s class, my girls were already familiar with her, which made the transition seamless. She taught alongside Mr. Nathan, whom my daughters adored as well. Miss Angela was wonderful at communicating with me about anything important and always showed genuine care and patience with the girls. I trusted her completely to look after them, whether it was handling a scraped knee or supporting their learning. Overall, Bright Beginnings made my transition from being a full-time stay-at-home mom to having my girls in school such a smooth and reassuring process. Every teacher and staff member we encountered was kind, professional, and deeply invested in the children. I’m truly thankful for the positive experience we had and would highly recommend this school to any parent.

  • Hello everyone, I would like to start off by saying bright beginnings was a great place to bring your children, families were happy and their voices mattered. Since Shelly the Director started she has raised the prices to our children's tuition, her top priority isn't the children or the safety concerns that the teachers/ parents have for the children that are in the Early Pre-K classroom with Alyna,Deenette and Lisa. They have restrained a child by force and put their hands on a student's face to not allow access to greet his former teachers. Shelly makes it her priority to dismiss concerns involving CYFD and will stay after work and host meetings to make sure these teachers have "the story" she comes up with to help the complaint go away. There has been an increase in child disenrollment and no consequences for those teachers that I mentioned up above. There are teachers that care about our children and have been let go or are being harassed at any inconvenient by Shelly. More than half the teachers have voiced their concerns and nothing is being done. Parents voice their concerns and its being dismissed. Shelly has made this place unprofessional and unsafe for our children. Take your children elsewhere and pray for the good teachers that are going everyday to work because they love our children and are trying to do what's best for them. As for Shelly, you should not be the director of a center with no childcare experience or Early Childhood Degree.

  • My 4 year old son has been attending BBLC since July and enjoys his time with his teachers and friends. I have seen a lot of growth and progress with his patience and attention span and am grateful for his teacher Ms. Andrea and Ms. Stacy! I feel very confident leaving him here during the day and am able to be in constant communication with his teachers. I am also happy with the safety drills he and his class practice.

  • Where do I begin! Bright Beginnings has truly become our second home! I feel extremely blessed to have a place where I feel safe and comfortable bringing my kids to and I know they are taken care of and loved. The staff is beyond great and my kids love it here. I can’t thank all the staff , director and assistant director enough for being the amazing people that they are!! We love you Bright Beginnings!!
