If I could give more stars, I would. We've had such an unforgettable and heartwarming experience with our daughter's preschool, thanks to the incredible Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth, safety, and true care -- the kind you'd hope for but rarely find. Ms. Lisa is the kind of teacher every parent dreams of. Nurturing, wise, and endlessly patient -- like a second mother to our daughter and a true support system for us as parents. She made every child feel seen, safe, and special. The way she handled her classroom with grace, joy, and structure made such a lasting impact on our daughter. You could tell she truly *loved* what she did, and her students felt that every single day. She also made learning fun and rewarding by always offering little prizes for positive reinforcement. Whether it was stickers, small toys, or thoughtful surprises, the kids were so motivated and proud. It was never about the reward -- it was the way Ms. Lisa made each child feel noticed and celebrated for their effort and kindness. And Ms. Vicky, her amazing assistant, was just as kind and attentive. Always there with a gentle smile, ready to lend a helping hand or give encouragement when the kids needed it. They filled the days with so much joy -- pizza parties, cooking activities, fun themes, and learning moments disguised as pure fun. Our daughter came home every day glowing with stories and pride in what she learned or created. She was genuinely excited to go to school -- and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child is not only safe but *happy* and thriving. We joke that we wish Ms. Lisa could follow our daughter all the way to college -- that's how deeply we love and trust her. This school, and these teachers, have left a lifelong imprint on our hearts. We are forever grateful. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, encouraged, and truly *known* -- look no further. This is the place. read more

It's hard for me to sum up what a wonderful experience my family had sending our child to Bright Start. Bright Start helped our daughter grow emotionally and academically. She looked forward to going to preschool every day. Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky bring so much love and care to their work and are angels in my book. They are so attentive and give of themselves to their students and families. By the end of our time at Bright Start it felt like Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky were a part of our family. My family was very sad to leave Bright Start. The only reason we left is because it was time for our daughter to go to kindergarten. And Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky did an exceptional job of preparing my daughter for the transition to kinder. If I could give Bright Start 10 stars, I would. read more

My son had some difficulty adjusting to preschool from such a young age but Lisa was so understanding and patient with him from age 3-5 he went to this preschool. Slowly but surely he learned a lot and improved as well as adapted. We feel like we have found an angel and appreciate everything you have done for our son Lisa thank you!! read more

I have known Mrs Lisa for about 15 years. My niece & nephew attended Bright Start and my son recently graduated from Bright Start. Mrs Lisa & Mrs Vickie are amazing teachers and leaders. Their patience with the children is undeniably the best i've ever seen! The time & planning put into the children's day to day work is great. Bright Start is clean, inviting and an exciting place to be. Communication is amazing as well. Highly recommend Bright Start for any future students. read more

Ms. Lisa is the best. My oldest went in 2011 and now i have my little one going with her. she has a lot of patience and she knows how to talk to them. She makes you feel so welcome, My kids always talk so good about Ms Lisa. I go to work in peace because i know my son is in good hands. When i pick up my son she gives me a heads up on hes eating and how he behaved. I can say this is the best preschool in the valley. Highly recommend you wont regret choosing this preschool for your kids. read more

Bright Start was the BEST choice we made for our son to attend before he started kindergarten! Ms.Lisa and Ms.Vicky are very loving and caring towards their kiddos. Their goal is to make every child bloom in their own way! They will teach social, emotional, educational and physical skills to their children within an amazing nurturing and safe environment, all while having fun with their endless creative projects! It was a blessing to watch the kids grow and bloom all thanks to Ms.Lisa's individual approach to every child! Thank you for being our support and guidance within the last year, we are forever grateful for all the love we shared with our Bright Start Family! read more

I graduated from Bright Star back in 2006 and till this very day I remember Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky. I remember all the fun times I had coming here and the feeling of safety and security. I think because I had horrible separation anxiety as a child, I remember attending here so vividly and feeling secure(I also have photographic memory) because they made sure to make this place feel like a second home. Based on my personal experience as a young girl, I would recommend many children to have the privilege of attending this preschool. These teachers will treat your children like their own. read more

Bright Start Preschool is a gem! Both of my daughters attended and loved it. Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vicki are nurturing, attentive, and caring. It truly feels like family. Mrs. Lisa is professional, educated, and communicative in all aspects. She helped set up our girls to be ready and prepared to the big school. I wish Bright Start would teach up until high school. We would never leave. We will always remember our time there and cherish our memories. read more

We are forever grateful to Bright Start Preschool and Ms Lisa for giving so much love, care, attention and support to our son during his happy years at pre school . Ms Lisa is a true professional devoted to making this world a better place for kids. Her delicate and very individual approach to each kid, her excellent communication with each parent, her true passion in teaching children met our highest expectations and we can't thank her enough for this. Our son learned everything he needed and more to be ready for the school, while we felt safe and sure of his happiness when he was with Bright Start. Also Ms Lisa's team, Ms Vicky and her family Abo, Babushka and daughters have become an extended family to our son. We strongly recommend this preschool for parents who are looking for professionalism, kindness, care, diversity and piece of mind. read more

For the summer they also have water day once a week. Kids love it.Take your kids here you won't regret it I promise! read more

Bright Start Preschool - Preschools Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Bright Start Preschool and their staff, Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vicky are absolutely amazing people who care deeply about the children at their school and provide a nurturing, safe, playful, educational, and fun environment for everyone. My daughter attended there prior to attending TK, and was more than prepared in all metrics that LAUSD measures. More importantly, my daughter absolutely loved going to Bright Start and loves Mrs. Lisa whole-heartedly. The student:teacher ratio is low, the inside is bright and welcoming with lots of play-based learning centers/areas for kids to explore, the outside play area is full of apparatuses and ride-on vehicles to keep kids moving. Our only regret is that we didn't find Bright Start and Mrs. Lisa sooner so my daughter could have spent more time there. read more

Bright Start Preschool and it's owner, Mrs. Lisa, have been nothing short of a heaven sent. My son started at Bright Start in the fall of 2019. Mrs. Lisa and her assistant, Mrs. Vickie provided my son with age appropriate activities that incorporated learning with play. My son and the other students were given a variety of nutritious home cooked lunches prepared by Mrs. Lisa's mother. March 2021, the pandemic started and the world shut down. Mrs. Lisa was in contact with my family throughout the closure. Checking up on my son, sharing links to YouTube videos she has made for the children of her reading some great stories and providing information of county official updates on reopening. When Bright Start had the green light to open back up all the precautions were in place. My family was completely at ease with our son returning to school knowing that Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vickie were taking all the necessary steps to keep the students safe. Fall of 2020 my son started Kinder virtually. My husband and I were working during the pandemic and were unable to stay home with him to assist with virtual learning. Mrs. Lisa graciously offered for him to come to Bright Start to attend his virtual kindergarten class. This worked out amazing. It provided my son with the routine of being present in a classroom. Mrs. Lisa had prepared a specific area within the classroom where he was able to concentrate on his virtual class with all his books, paper and supplies within reach. Mrs. Lisa was constantly accessible to my son to help him with his class work. Everyday after my sons virtual class Mrs. Lisa would go above and beyond by working with him one on one to help him seamlessly transition to first grade despite the unfortunate time of his kinder class being virtual . She helped him with both phonics and math. My son was actually accepted into a magnet/highly gifted program for first grade 2021-2022. My family can attribute his advancement to the devotion Mrs. Lisa had for him and for helping him stay focused all along the way (not an easy task considering he's 6 now) They say it takes a village to raise a child and I'm extremely grateful to Mrs. Lisa and Bright Start Preschool for being such an positive influence for my son during his introduction to school. read more

Where do I even begin, my daughter started attending Bright start a couple months back and there are nothing but great things to say about Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky. As a parent, there is absolutely no greater feeling than having peace of mind while being at work. That is exactly how I feel leaving my daughter at Bright start, I feel so calm knowing that not only is she in a safe place, but that she is at a place that nurtures her mind, body, and soul. My daughter loves going to school and is always talking about all the fun activities they do. MS. Lisa is also a great at communicator with the parents and gives that peace of mind we all need. I know that I made the right choice for my daughter when I enrolled her into bright start, I look forward to the great things she will accomplish here. read more

There's no words to explain how great ms Lisa is she really is genuine and sweet and takes every kids needs in to consideration wouldn't want a better teacher for my kids read more

If you are looking for a preschool that will teach your child social, emotional, academic, and physical skills within an incredibly nurturing and caring environment, then Bright Start Preschool is the school for you! It offers a small student to teacher ratio, with twelve students or so, which is what I preferred. I highly recommend parents to enroll their son/daughter in Bright Start Preschool. I first learned about this wonderful preschool from my cousin who enrolled her son years ago. Upon our family tour in 2019, I loved the school director and teacher, Mrs. Lisa (a.k.a. Elizabeth Reyna Sanchez), right from the start. The school is located in a residential area and the classroom is a home fully redesigned as a complete classroom environment. The yard is a fun spot with little houses, slides, and tricycles for kids to get out their energy and play. During the tour, we were given a thorough explanation of the curriculum provided and the many wonderful subjects that would be taught thematically throughout the year. She gave us the schedule and other valuable handouts in order for us to fully be informed about how Bright Start Preschool functions. I recognized many Lakeshore curriculum materials and that really impressed me. I love the schedule for the day and the structure provided for Circle Time, Group Activities, and the Child Directed and Enhancement Activities (i.e., manipulatives, language, math, cooking, art, and science). I am a former elementary teacher so I know an excellent and prepared educator when I see one. My spouse and I visited several preschools throughout the Valley to make our decision, and we made the right choice. My daughter attended from Sept 2020 to June 2021 and graduated from Preschool on June 11, 2021. Mrs. Lisa and the second teacher, Mrs. Vicki, ran a fantastic program. Student work was displayed everywhere, organized by themes. The classroom was extremely kid-centered and colorfully inviting. Each area of the classroom had a purpose such as where students can read books, where students gather to start the day to review the calendar, several small tables to work, a place to play with toys, and so-forth. One of my favorite parts of the day was that Mrs. Lisa made the time to have students learn the Pledge of Allegiance and recite it to start each day. It gave me so much joy and pride to hear my little girl recite it. I also loved how Mrs. Lisa had activities for Halloween (kids got to dress in costumes), Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter (egg hunt was organized for kids), and more. My daughter incredibly benefited from the Full Day program, attending 3 days a week. My daughter learned to write the alphabet letters, identify and write numbers, shapes, and so much more. She also painted, colored, and did so many arts and crafts projects. My daughter looked forward to school every single day. Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vicki were so attentive, kind, and caring for all the children. They created such a beautiful and welcoming classroom community. Given a small student population, my daughter learned so much because the student to teacher ratio was a low number. My daughter always shared all the things she learned, academic or social, and this for me was a testament to the positive impact Bright Start Preschool made upon my daughter. Ms. Lisa is absolutely organized and so professional in all communication by providing memos and communicating via a phone app called Brightwheel. I also enjoyed when she occasionally sent pictures of my daughter doing various activities. I like her two-part security system that all parents (or authorized person on list) must use the Brightwheel app to check their child in and out. The second part requires that one press a buzzer so she can view visitors on a camera and then she remotely unlocks the door to allow one to pick up one's child. Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vicki took every health precaution to keep the students safe, given the Covid-19 pandemic affecting us all. I appreciated every requirement to keep my daughter safe such as doing temperature checks to check-in, requiring students to keep their masks on at all times (except to eat), wash their hands often, and keeping their distance. They kept things so clean and sanitized. Overall, Bright Start is a wonderful and loving educational preschool environment. You and your child will always be welcomed with a smile and your child will learn so many important educational and social skills. I appreciate all Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vicki did to make my daughter's graduation from preschool and end-of-the-year activities special, even though it was done differently because of the ongoing pandemic. I will treasure the graduation photos and classroom picture for years to come. read more

Ms Liza is the best! I am so lucky I found this gem in my neighborhood. She has many years of experience and you can tell a difference in your child. My boy is mischievous and she knows how to discipline him and even gives me tips. She gives every parent a daily recap on their day which I really appreciate. She also gives them healthy made food which my son loves. In a matter of a month I saw a change in his weigh which he was too skinny. I can go on and on with the so many reasons she and her staff are great. We are very fortunate to have found Bright Start Preschool. read more

Bright Start Preschool - Preschools Near Me - North Hollywood, California

My family will forever be grateful to Miss Lisa, Miss Vicky, and her family. My son first went there after having a very hard time with his previous preschool. At Bright Start, they were all very patient and loving to him. The school my son went to previously was a Montessori preschool, which I liked their style of teaching. Unfortunately, that Montessori preschool's classrooms were too large. At Bright Start, Miss Lisa keeps the classroom small, so she can dedicate individual time to each child. They also implement the Montessori theory, with other styles of teaching. The education is individualize to each child. My son is now 11, and is flourishing in school. He has so many fond memories of Bright Start, that he got his little sister excited to go there too. My daughter was the type to never leave my side, but once she started Bright Start, she will leave without hesitation. She loved going there everyday. She is now in kindergarten, and is also doing great. I truly believe that both of my children enjoy school because of the strong foundation they learned at Bright Start. read more

Little gem that we came across, it's important to me that I feel safe leaving my child with someone that gives good vibes and that's what I got from Mrs .Elizabeth the first time we met. She is very much on it when it comes to cleanliness and safety precautions. read more

My daughter started her preschool career at a local preschool which shall remain nameless. We quickly realized that it was a very static learning environment. The children were allowed to play for a bit, nap, then play some more. There was no learning going on whatsoever and I knew I had to get my daughter out of there before she turned into a vegetable. When a spot opened up at Bright Start, I jumped all over it. (Bright Start was full at the time so she was placed at the vegetable school while we waited for a spot.) What a difference a day makes! My daughter began singing songs and coming home with new things she had learned. She worked on projects, learned about sharing, patience, using her inside voice and many other things. Bright Start Preschool truly caters to a child's individual personality and learning needs. Ms. Lisa is patient, kind and simply wonderful with the children. She understands each child and openly and honestly communicates with the parents about how their child is doing and behaving. She set up a fair system for tracking a child's behavior and she quickly communicates any issues that may arise. From the time the children arrive, they are learning. I saw dramatic improvement in my daughter's behavior, vocabulary and skills that she picked up while there. While she graduated from Bright Start some time ago, she is a proud graduate and I feel blessed to have been able to send her there. I trust Ms. Lisa wholeheartedly to provide the same care for my child or your child than she would provide for her own children. If you want you children to learn in a safe, positive and nurturing environment, then look no further than Bright Start Preschool! One more thing... For lunch, the children are served a healthy, home-cooked meal every day. You can't beat that! read more

I'm not given to exaggeration, but Bright Start has got to be the most wonderful, excellent preschool anywhere. Our two daughters just graduated today, and we couldn't be happier. Lisa, the owner/teacher, is the salt of the earth and old-school amazing: attentive and sensitive yet firm when needed. Our girls received nurturing TLC yet also learn to respect authority. Academically, our girls have grown by leaps and bounds. Upon picking up them up daily, Lisa would always recount exactly where they were developmentally *as of that day, each day*! Unlike some schools where the teachers phone in their work, Lisa obviously cares very deeply for her work and the kids. She's a Mom herself, and her Mom - who still helps out - founded Bright Start several years ago. Despite all I've written here, words really fail to capture what an extraordinary preschool Bright Start is, and how uniquely nurturing and attentive Lisa is. And this from a really, really harsh critic in most things! read more

This review is long overdue. I did a lot of interviews and have toured different schools before I decided to enroll my son in Bright Start Preschool. When we met Ms. Lisa, I knew it would be the best for my son and I was right. We couldn't have picked a better preschool to enroll my son into. The school was super clean and food was cooked fresh. Being a working mom, I needed to find a school where I felt my son was in a nurturing/loving environment. This school exceeded our expectation. When he started, he was so shy and nervous. My son thrived socially. He made friends, learned about differences and his confidence grew. He has learned so much during his stay here. They also teach the kids respect and kindness. My son was nurtured academically and socially. We are very grateful for my son's amazing teachers Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky, Ms. Lisa's mom and children. They were very caring and patient to the children. My son was always in a great mood after school and excited to go to school in the morning. During the weekends, my son couldn't wait to go to school because he missed his teachers and friends. Me and my husband were so happy we found this preschool. I highly recommend it to any parent. read more

I finally got my peace of mind back when our little girl enrolled to this little bundle of heaven! To tell you the truth I am very anxious person and "not easy to deal with" type :).... After spending way too much money for private daycares, overpriced "preschools" and other snobby well-polished facilities, we came to meet Ms. Lisa.....5 minutes of our conversation and I was about to hug this precious person :)...crying! This little school taught our family how to communicate and compromise with each other, how to love routine "no, I don't want to" life with new approaches, our spoiled child learned how to be considered not only to surroundings but to us as well! And don't even get me started on the learning preparations :) Our TK transition was easy thanks to Ms. Lisa's structure of early education. Our daughter is top TK student in her class! Doesn't matter where I am and how busy we are we will always think of Ms. Lisa, Ms. Vicky, Grandpa and Grandma, who welcomed our fussy and bossy little princess. And unfortunately for Ms. Lisa :) we will have to bring our bungle of joy back to this amazing school for every birthday :) because that's where our child wants to be :) read more

I ll start by saying both my children went to Bright Start Preschool from the age of 3 until they went off to Kinder. I had such good reference about Bright Start that I didnt even look at any other schools. All I have to say is... If you want to go to work with a peace of mind look no further and hurry there before all the spots are filled. Ms Lisa and Ms Vicky are both great with the kids and both my children love them. They are the sweetest most caring women. Ms Lisa has owned the school for over 20 yrs and believe me when I say she was born to be a preschool teacher. She is the most calm and collected person I have ever met. Rest assured that if your child goes to bright start preschool they will have THE most safe, positive, nurturing and educational experience of their life. I trust Ms Lisa wholeheartedly. She caters to a child's individual personality and needs. My children are very different. One very clingy the other more independent but very headstrong. Somehow she managed them both perfectly and brought out the best in them. The schedule at Bright Start is very structured and organized. They have the perfect balance of fun and learning. Both my children got to Kinder way more prepared than any other child in their class. She uses a lot of positive re-enforcement with sticker charts and prizes. Ms Lisa will communicate with you openly and honestly about your child's progress consistently. And she will truly listen to your specific concerns as if it was her own child. Not to mention children are served a healthy home cooked meal everyday. The place is super clean colorful and pretty. They practice great hygiene at all times. They wear gloves to serve their food, etc. As if she wasn't already giving them the best education she also incorporates music class once a week, cooking days, water days in summer,etc. She really goes above and beyond to ensure children are having the best experience. Oh yeah! And get ready to cry on graduation day. She does this whole ceremony and they put on the best show ever where the children tell you about what they want to be when they grow up and sing songs. Definitely bring a camera and tissues that day. In conclusion. If you are still reading this put the phone down fast and go enroll your child in the best preschool ever...Bright Start Preschool really is a gem in the valley read more

My daughter just graduated from Bright Start Preschool in June and can't find the words to describe what a wonderful experience Bright Start Preschool was for my family. Miss Lisa is truly a wonderful teacher who takes the time to get to know each child's personality, needs and strengths and builds upon their strengths to help them succeed. Miss Lisa and Miss Vicky have a lot of experience (over 10 years) and they have only about 14 children at a time. It is sometimes hard to get in because they want to make sure they continue to provide the same individualized attention to their students. I researched about 10 to 15 preschools before choosing to sent my child to Bright Start. I chose Bright Start because of personal recommendations from a friend, but also because in all my communications and visits with Miss Lisa she showed great professionalism, patience and a great understanding of how to help children have a successful first experience with school. Miss Lisa teaches children their ABCs, shapes, numbers, colors, opposites, the calendar, they also have different units on the planets, caterpillars, the seasons, and much more. Academically, Miss Lisa does a wonderful job teaching children everything they need to have a successful experience in Kindergarten. My child began to read in her school and to write her first words! Her K teacher has complimented my daughter's preschool (without knowing them) for providing her with such a solid base of knowledge. In addition to the academics, Miss Lisa and Miss Vicky teach the students how to interact with each other, how to talk to each other to resolve conflict, to follow the rules, to share, to take turns, to show empathy, and they do this through warm support, rewards, and a very effective, non-harsh, discipline plan. All of this would be enough to make Miss Lisa's school the best, but she goes above and beyond, providing them home-cooked meals, additional materials related to the units that they are studying (they have caterpillars in the class to learn from observing as well as reading about what they are learning), organizing a trike-a-thon to raise funds for St. Jude's so that kids can learn about helping others, she also has a fall celebration to which she hires a clown and magician to do a special show for the kids. And she does all this with a warm smile, with consistent communications about your child's progress, a clean school, and an affordable price. I cannot recommend Bright Start Preschool enough, I feel very fortunate and privileged to have had the opportunity to send my daughter to this school; she loved it! read more

I absolutely love this school. My son literally doesn't want to leave each day as he has so much fun. Miss Lisa is so great with the kids. Always calm cool collected and really prepping them for kindergarten. So grateful I found This place. Previously we were at a Montessori school for more than double the price and I really prefer it here. Thank you Bright Start!! read more

Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Vikie are great with the children. I have brought all three of my children here. I am at peace knowing that they are being cared by wonderful women and being prepared for Kindergarten. read more

Bright Start Preschool is a secret gem in the Valley. I wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a great place for your child to learn, grow and develop a good foundation for Kindergarten. My child attended Bright Start for 2 years and loved Mrs Lisa and her assistant Ms Vicki. They are both excellent educators who have patience with 3 & 4 year olds. My 4 year old would come home talking about subjects they learned about such as the planets, dinosaurs as well as other subjects. She also learned her letters, numbers and shapes. Lunch time was great with home cooked meals. This school also became an extended family where the kids developed great friendships and still enjoy get together for birthdays and special occasions. We are going to miss Mrs Lisa as we start our Kinder year in a new school but my little girl knows that she is always welcomed at Bright Start for visits anytime!!! Thank you Mrs Lisa for all your TLC with our kids, you're AMAZING!!! read more

Amazing!! My daughter loved going there. Teacher Miss Lisa is caring, knows how to deal with each child differently according to the child's personality. If you have a little one you will not be disappointed. My daughter learned tons and had lots of fun. My daughters will miss her incredible compassion and love for kids. Bright Start preschool has had a positive impact for our family. Thank you, Thank you for all your hard work and care for our children. read more

When I was first looking for a preschool for my first and only daughter I was overwhelmed with wanting to make the best decision.. After all, this is her first introduction to being in a school and having someone other than her parent guiding her daily life.. As I interviewed many preschools with still hesitation I decided to check out Brightstart Preschool based on the reviews.. The moment I met Ms.Lisa I felt immediately she was the one I wanted to entrust my daughter to. From the moment my daughter started the love and patience Ms.Lisa and Ms. Vicki spends on each child is amazing. Her demeanor stayed consistent the entire 2 years she was there. I just couldn't believe how she could have such a positive attitude and calm energy as she does watching all these kids, but trust me she does and Every Parents thinks the same. I cannot recommend her school enough.. There's never been a single parent that ever regretted it.. I'm sad and scared to be heading to kindergarten fearing we will not hit the jackpot like we did with Ms.Lisa.. I hope lighting will strike again. read more

DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS SCHOOL!!! If you want to ensure that your child will be in an environment where they will receive genuine care, individualized attention and a premier education then look no further... Bright Start is here!! I am the mother of a very, very... very :) active boy and even on his worst day my husband and I NEVER worried about his safety at Bright Start. Mrs. Lisa & Ms. Vicki genuinely care about the kids and get to know them individually. Your child will leave this school prepared for kinder and/or TK academically and socially. Mrs. Lisa offers full-day and half-day options. Tuition for a full-day includes breakfast, a delicious hot lunch and an afternoon snack. My son is now in kindergarten and has asked multiple times for his favorite preschool lunch. :) Bright Start is a true gem and enrolling our son there was one of the best decisions we've made. This school is exceptional! read more

I just got a message from Mrs. Lisa asking how my son was doing in kindergarten. This is the type of school Bright Start is, caring and loving. My son went there for 2 1/2 years and learned so much, and was ready for kinder. Began to learn how to ready, write, add and subtract. They had music class once a week which was an extra plus. During the summer they had cooking class and water days to make it fun for the kids. Finding a trustworthy place may be hard but Bright Start made it easy. I would commute again to send my youngest son there. read more

This place is amazing. We had to take our daughter out of this preschool because we moved, and we miss it and everyone there dearly. A true gem in the valley read more

Where should I start? From the second I met Mrs. Lisa there was no comparing her to other teachers that I had the opportunity to audit. It's a family affair and my son fell in love with her entire family. You will not find a warmer, more caring preschool in the Valley. The amount of detail she puts into her curriculum is a testament to the skill level her kids achievement prior to kindergarten. She individually prepares each kid for Kindergarten and quite frankly thinks about things I never would have considered for my child. This is not a daycare, your child will be prepped for Kindergarten. My child was tested at a private school and passed with flying colors for Kindergarten readiness, in fact, everyone proceeded to Kindergarten that was eligible from Mrs. Lisa's class. However, your child will have so much fun learning that it will be an easy, natural transition for them. It's very nice that she opens at 7:30am and closes at 5:30 pm if you need aftercare. Mrs. Lisa's mom cooks hot meals for the kids. I had a picky eater so I packed a lunch for the 1st two weeks but after only a few days Mrs. Lisa had him eating what the class was served each day. They get snacks throughout the day so my little guy was never sent home hungry. Her Halloween & Holiday parties were so special. I will never forget how my son's face would light up when the Magician did tricks or Santa brought him a special gift. Mrs. Lisa & Mrs. Vickie taught my son so many life lessons and social skills. They are very in tune with even the slightest change in your child. This place was a true blessing in our life and I'm sure my son will be visiting them throughout his life like so many of her other previous students. read more

I was very selective when picking a school for my little girl. She was only 3 when she started at Bright Start. She was there for 2 years and sadly we had to leave since my little girl moved to kinder. I have to say this is the best school in the valley! I searched for 6 months for a school for my little one. I'm an observer and I'd would notice in other schools they're so nice to you when you're touring and then a kid comes up and they react not so nice, that's because other schools have staff that do it for the money or because it's a job. At Bright Start, Ms. Lisa, does it because she loves the kids and loves what she does! It's very clear with the caring, love and attention she devotes to those kids everyday. During Halloween she even hires a magician to entertain the kids! During Christmas she gets Santa to come by and gives presents to the kids! She doesn't ask for a dime from the parents for that! What other school does that?! Her lovely mother cooks homemade food for the kids for their lunch! And the tuition is so so affordable. To top it all, my little daughter who learned so much and was very ready for kinder thanks to Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vickie and my oldest (who went to Bright Start during the holidays), they love Ms. Lisa like a family member!
