He kicks his legs with excitement everytime we pull into the parking lot. The staff are experts. Dr. Noveno the head of school is so loving with the kids and very involved in every classroom. The teachers in the toddler room plan amazing lessons. They treat each kid like a little artist and everything is very project based. The facility is clean with great toys for learning. And the playground is safe and wonderful for the very youngest of learners. They use an app which provides updates including photos and videos. As a new parent, leaving my child at daycare made me very nervous. But the staff has my full trust and their stellar communication has given me great confidence. I see my child being social and exploring at such a great pace. I really think it takes a village to raise a child and I consider Primrose a part of ours. We are very grateful.

Her Spanish skills have progressed on par with her English language acquisition and more than that, she has learned to be gentle and caring with all of her friends. Edna and her staff have helped us through so many transitions that come with having an infant and then a toddler and I feel personally connected to her and her staff. She is always flexible and keeps the children's interest at heart. We've developed such a sweet community with other parents at PP that has made us feel even more at home in our community.

His lead teacher is amazing with him--and, tho it was hard to leave my baby so early, she made the transition as easy as possible. We stay in contact communication about every little thing. The best thing to see in daycare/school is your kid's face light up as soon as he sees his teacher...and that's exactly what happens. Not to mention, the other children are all so sweet. School has a strong philosophy, rooted in african heritage, which i think is beautiful and uplifting. But you definitely have to be comfortable with that. It is a wonderful place though...full of love, support and acceptance towards ALL. LOVE IT. (and am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my son.)

We have been very impressed with the place -- the teachers are trained, thoughtful and creative (my son has hugged both teachers unprompted in front of me so I know he is happy to be there!) The school offers enrichment activities like music and yoga that actually do teach skills they take home -- I see him constantly come back with new words and abilities. Bright Start provides diapers, healthy meals, milk, and more. There is a playground and the older kids go on walks. It is flexible around pickup and drop off, and some teachers are open to babysitting as well. Communication with some members of the administration can be slow and a bit disorganized, but honestly, that was really only applicable in the admissions process. The actual school experience is very impressive and (most importantly) my son loves it.

This is what I sent to the founder (Marcia St. Hilaire Finn) :: Hello, this message is directed at…read morethe owner and CEO of BrightstartDC. Since last week, I have been trying to get information about your daycare for my infant son. Unfortunately, to date, I still do not have any information, and all I have experienced is extreme unprofessionalism and nonresponsiveness from your staff members, Lucy and Brittany. For example, I sent Lucy at least 2-3 emails without a reply. I then scheduled a meeting through the online link, but after I waited 15 minutes, no one showed up to the meeting. Then Brittany called to say that Lucy was too busy and needs to reschedule and when I let her know that I moved another important meeting for this and Ive sent multiple emails with no reply, she had the audacity to tell me that I "must not know what the protocol is". Like what?! Where I'm from, professional protocol is replying to emails in a timely manner and when you have agreed to an appointment, you join on time. And, if you're running late, you inform the other party before the meeting start time, not 15 mins after. At this point, I would NEVER send my son to such an unprofessional environment. Whoever owns this place should know how rude and ridiculous their staff is! I will definitely spread the word about my experience.
