My son's two years old and he has been attending Bright Beginning since he was 2 months…read more Now, my son comes home singing new nursery rhymes, ABC's, dancing and talking more now. For example, my son sings "Row, Row, Row Your Boat song" while washing his hands. I like how my son is socializing more with other children his age and that the daycare has a monthly theme based curriculum, where they teach them about topics such as, Food, Lights, Transportation, Community Helpers, Animals, Plants, etc. He is learning new words and his listening skills are improving day by day. Also, I really like the art work and pictures the teachers take of my son. He is only two years old and there is also parent teacher conferences held for my son and reports given out. Also, take home activities I can do with my son is provided, which I can practice reading, writing, singing and doing fun activities with him during the weekends. My son is also in the process of being potty trained and I feel the center helps me make sure my son is developing appropriately according his age and the developmental milestones. If my son is going through a tantrum or having trouble eating the staff provided positive feedback and information to help me solve the issue. The staff is consistent, nurturing, loving, and caring to my son. I trust the staff with my son and I feel safe to have him at the center. The school has been running for more than thirty years and the staff is well trained and experienced.

I can't say enough about this place. They treat our baby with sooo much love. She's always happy…read moreand clean. WARNING!! They will spoil your child!! Lol. Seriously, it's a good feeling to know that your most precious little people are being taken care of by genuine people that care for their wellbeing.

I'm a bit reluctant to write this review because this nursery is a bit of a hidden gem, and my…read moresecond child will need a daycare soon. My wife and I toured this place, and others, when we were checking out daycares. One of the biggest reasons why my wife and I chose this place is because the children seem like they have fun. When we visited, the kids were socializing and playing with each other. In other daycares, the children seem subdued and withdrawn and not as playful. In fact, some of the children recognize me now and walk up to me to say hi or share their toy when I go pick up my daughter. I think their friendliness is partly due to how they're treated here. My child loves this place. I enrolled my daughter when she was about 2.5 years old. There was of course and adjustment period, but shortly after two weeks, my daughter became used to the idea of coming here and even looking forward to it. I have no doubt the extra TLC that the staff gave her the first few weeks contributed to her feeling welcome. I think dropping my daughter off became harder for me than it was for her (conceal, dont feel). She's been enrolled here over a year now. She comes home with art projects that they do in class, I catch her singing songs that I know she learned while in school here. She tells me about her friends and the types of games they play. She recently told me that she needs to start bringing a toy for show and tell on Fridays. The staff here is very warm and considerate. Unlike other daycares where the teachers are college students or young adults, you can tell that the teachers here have children of their own. They will treat your child as if he or she was one of their own as well.

We highly recommend them! My baby loves the teachers and classes. She is learning so many and…read moreenjoying it! It's just few months she started going to the school but she has already learned so much! I believe the most important thing to 2-3 yrs old babies to grow up nicely is huge love and nice teachers, not just learning ABC or numbers. They offer everything my kid needs now. They are trusted!

Loving, Trustworthy, and Like Family!…read more Both of my kids have been at this daycare since they were 9 months old, and it truly feels like a second home for us. The baby room staff are amazing -- especially Mrs. Bahora, who cared for both my children with so much love and patience. You can tell she really enjoys what she does, and that makes all the difference. Mrs. Karen, Mrs. Maybe, and Mrs. Yuliana are also wonderful -- they're so kind and nurturing, and they take the time to help the kids learn and feel confident. The daycare is always clean, the meals are homemade (and smell delicious!), and the environment feels very safe and organized. One of the things I love most is that they're open almost all year -- they only close a few days, which is such a big help for working parents like me. They also keep great communication with families. There's a group chat on WhatsApp where they send pictures and videos of the kids, along with updates throughout the day. It really helps me feel connected even while I'm at work. The owner, Mrs. Linda, has always been kind and helpful with any questions I've had. She communicates openly and makes me feel completely at ease leaving my kids in her care. Over the years, I've seen how much effort she and her team put into everything -- from safety to fun learning activities. My kids love the music classes, and the older group has amazing teachers like Mrs. Sitora, who puts on beautiful Christmas and Mother's Day performances. You can really see how much time and love goes into helping the children learn and grow. I'm so grateful to have found this place. My children have learned so much, and I've always felt supported as a parent. Every experience can be different, but for our family, this daycare has been nothing short of wonderful.

I enrolled my daughter at this daycare at the end of September 2025 after being referred by another…read moreparent who had a positive experience. Unfortunately, my experience raised concerns about communication and transparency. I wasn't allowed an in-person tour and was only shown the classroom via a security camera. Staff did not provide a parent handbook, safety policies, or a schedule/menu/activities, even after I requested them multiple times and explained that other daycares usually provide this information. At enrollment, I explained that my daughter is sensitive about being wiped due to a prior experience; staff didn't express concerns at the time. A little over two weeks later, she was returned in soiled underwear even though she appeared cleaned and had a change of clothes available. The day before, my mother and I mentioned seeing a rat run across the outdoor entryway, which appeared to upset the owner. When I called the next day to ask about the hygiene incident, the owner said staff didn't want to assist my daughter with wiping because of what I had shared and ended care, stating my questions made staff uncomfortable. I was never informed of this decision before that call. When I returned to collect my daughter's belongings, I saw a child's table break in the front classroom area near the entryway -- a space all families walk through when entering. My daughter didn't express negative experiences, but I left with serious concerns about transparency, sanitation, and how parents' questions are handled. If you value clear communication and consistent policies, this daycare may not be the best fit.

We focus on providing a nurturing and engaging environment that promotes hands on learning. Our fun daily schedule includes breakfast,morning meetings, centers,arts and crafts( which include improving our fine motor skills)story time , movement (gross motor skills),lunch ,nap time ,and weather permitting outside play. (The kids love this schedule!!!) I love working at this daycare because our kids are learning by having fun and our kids are amazing !

At first I was very pleased with this daycare. My mother-in-law watches my son but at 2 1/2 I was…read moreconcerned that my son was not around other children. This center appealed to me as it was close to home and they were prompt to respond to my inquiries and I was able to pay a daily rate as I only needed him to go twice a week. A few months ago we took my son to see the place and to visit. The staff was nice and the owner Nora was very nice and answered all our questions. We spent about an hour there and my son wandered around looking at all the toys. The staff was diverse and the other children there were diverse as well, my son is mixed race and I really want him to be around a diversity of people, so I was optimistic about it. Nora asked about my son's behavior and was concerned a little as he had never been in a daycare/school setting before but from observing him she was certain that he would be fine there and that they could accommodate him. My son is not aggressive but high energy and has difficulty sitting still but I was up front about this and she assured me that all children take a couple weeks to adjust and that he would be fine there. Fast forward to today, his first day. My husband dropped him off, and stayed with him for a little bit and he settled in fine. Nora even sent me a picture of him at a table playing. Approximately three hours later she requested that I call her and assured me that Jordan was fine so I would not panic. My husband called and was told that Jordan was running around and his behavior was too hyper and he was not responding to their redirection and that he was distracting the staff from the other children and that they would not be able to accommodate him moving forward and that they would refund our money including our reservation fee. They then suggested that we should have him evaluated, at 2 and a half after his first day ever at day care surrounded by strangers in a new environment.(yes please read my sarcasm) My mother-in-law had to go and pick him up and bring him home. I gave two stars as they did refund our money and they were easy to contact; but I can't understand how a daycare that has been open for 17 years cannot accommodate a rambunctious 2 year old. As far as I was informed he didn't act out aggressively, he didn't bite or hit anyone, he didn't even cry. He just wouldn't sit at circle time or lay down to nap. And to suggest that there was something so wrong with him to need an evaluation was very concerning to me. I am glad that this happened early on so we can find a more nurturing and patient daycare that is willing to actually work to help my son transition. Adding today after a little bit more info: My mother-in-law picked my son up and she stated that he was standing up with his blankie being quiet in the room for 3-5 year olds and the other kids were on cots sleeping, the toddler room had toddlers watching a movie on the TV. I don't want to jump to conclusions but part of me suspects that they assumed his age based on how he looks (he is very tall at 38 inches for a 2.5 year old) and he was therefore placed in the wrong age group room. He should have been in the toddler room. This would explain why they thought he needed an evaluation because he would have appeared significantly delayed if they thought he was 3.5 when he is barely 2.5.
