  • I used the McKees Rocks location for my daughter when she was an infant. The best part of the summer was all about her experience. Our seven-year-old enjoyed herself and made new friends. I hate Pittsburgh traffic, but that’s the city life. The summer camp teachers were awesome, and Misty is a great director. We paid privately and received a good discount. She still misses her friends from this summer. We will recommend it.

  • Person working there. That would leave there own baby alone for hours alone in house by itself and was taking from her. Would never trust this employee.

  • My daughter has been here since 6 weeks old and she’s 1 now. She loves it and I love it. The staff is also amazing.

  • My daughter went through a lot of bad things in that school racism, bullying and they neglected her they are irresponsible to the point that they let my 3-year-old daughter leave the building alone by herself without supervision, they hit her at school the children came all bruises in her body to the house, l told them and They didn't do anything, they crushed her finger with the door, they left her alone in a room for 3 or 4 minutes, they say, but it was longer, my daughter has been traumatized and very, very affected, she has totally changed since she entered that school together with the children of 3 years and they never did anything it is very unfortunate that this happened, I do not recommend this deycare, the employees and teachers are negligent do not trust leaving your children in that deycare.

Questions parents ask about BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC

Is BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC holds Pennsylvania certificate 103603600-0008, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Allegheny County. The current certificate runs to December 1, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC STAR 4, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on November 18, 2025. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.

Does BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC accept child care subsidy?

Yes. BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Infant and toddler, Preschool, School-age. An agreement means the provider can bill the subsidy programme, not that a funded place is free today. Eligibility is decided by your Early Learning Resource Center, Early Learning Resource Center for Region 5.

Does this page show inspection results for BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC?

No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects BRIGHTSIDE ACADEMY INC's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
