  • When you leave your child in these types of spaces, you expect the staff to be trained to take care of a child of a vulnerable age such as 1 to two years, but unfortunately in this place they are negligent and ignorant, they do not have a learning pattern, they do not play with children, much less do they carry out activities that develop the child's brain, it is not just taking them to a park and leaving them there while the teachers are with the phone all day, the terrible nutrition, I cannot entrust my son's diet to a person who does not take care of his health! Obesity is a serious problem. I don't recommend this place to leave your children

  • Our kiddo recently started at Bright Star, and the difference we’ve seen in just a few short weeks has been incredible. At the previous center, things were a bit of a struggle, so we were hopeful but cautious about making a change. Bright Star has exceeded every expectation. Our child has truly blossomed since starting here. They are more talkative, clearly feels supported, and comes home happy and excited about the day. It’s obvious that the teachers and staff have taken the time to welcome and embrace our child as an individual. What stands out most is how caring and empathetic the entire team is. Communication with parents is clearly a priority, and the staff actively work with families to address concerns and support each child’s needs. That kind of partnership makes a huge difference. We’re so grateful to have found Bright Star. Our child absolutely loves being there and is thriving.

  • We’ve had a wonderful experience with this daycare. My daughter has been here since she was 1 year old, and now at 2, she’s thriving and loves coming every day. The teachers are caring, patient, and attentive, and the environment is safe, clean, and welcoming. We especially appreciate how spacious and bright the rooms are, plenty of space to play and learn comfortably. We highly recommend this daycare to any parents looking for a nurturing and high-quality environment for their child.

  • My son has been here since he turned a year old and is now 3.5 in the preschool class. During that time, he has experienced most of the teachers and grown up with his class- forming close friendships. The care we’ve experienced has been wonderful. All staff has been genuinely supportive of reaching milestones from learning to walk to potty training and everything in between. Communication is always quick and thorough as well. Classrooms themselves are clean and organized while still feeling inviting to youngsters. All in all, having a place to completely trust your child is in good hands is an absolute blessing.

  • Both of my children have attended Bright Star, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. My oldest started as a toddler and went all the way through Pre-K, and now my youngest is currently thriving in the Twos class. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly invested in the children’s growth and well-being. We’ve watched both of our kids develop socially, emotionally, and academically thanks to the nurturing and structured environment the staff creates every day. Communication has always been consistent and clear, and we always feel confident that our children are safe, happy, and learning. From the fun daily activities to the special events and milestones, Bright Star has played such an important role in our family’s life. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done for our children. Highly recommend to any family looking for a loving, supportive daycare!

  • My daughter has been at Bright Star for almost two years. She started at 20 months, very shy and sensitive, and didn’t understand or speak any English. The teachers were so patient and supportive, working closely with us to help her adjust and grow. One thing we really appreciate is how stable the teacher team is—they know every child by name and truly understand their personalities. Now she’s outgoing and confident! We’re so grateful for everything the teachers have done. Highly recommend Bright Star to families with young kids!
