While there I became very familiar with the staff an fell absolutely in love with them. My child loved an trusted them, she formed so many good an trusting relationships there, I Literally cried when it was time for my child to start Head start but in my heart, i was confident that she would be ok... To this day we are still in touch with some of the staff there...

Donna, Chrissy, Mary, Justin and Char (plus others, of course) were amazing. I never worried about how she was being cared for and she was thriving and loved being in school. We also loved the diversity of the classroom and felt that was a unique and valuable part of her early education. Once she was moved upstairs to the Pre-K rooms and there was a change in leadership things really went downhill. Her behavior started turning negative and wound up. I found out later that the kids pretty much ran around and were just yelled at by the teacher - or at least that is what she told me, without malice. Considering how immediate her behavior turned around at the Pre-K program we switched her to, i don't doubt that was exactly what was happening. Another big issue was the idea of the lead caregiver in the pre-k room referring to herself as an educator since her grammar and spelling were borderline illiterate. How any adult can misspell words that you expect 4 and 5 years old to learn is really troubling. This was something other parents noticed as well and sort of laughed about it. One told me that basic math assignments sent home were also incorrect. I was kind of horrified by it. After a few other questionable issues regarding communication of behavior etc we decided to pull her out and it was the best decision we made - i only wish that we had not put her through that year in her "classroom". She is now thriving and doing amazing at Beth Shalom in a loving and structured environment. One thing that stood out to me about poor leadership was when the new director telling parents that they should appreciate that he was going to be working in one of the rooms when they were completely understaffed and about to turn kids away for being over quota. Other than that i rarely ever saw him whereas Jen was often floating, getting to know the kids, talking to parents. very welcoming and open.

    I can't speak to how Bright Light Academy was pre-covid (I see reviews from 2018 here) but I can…read morespeak to how I feel now. Our children LOVE Bright Light. It's not a "chain" of daycares, so it feels very homey. My oldest child always has funny stories about their classmates and teachers, and my youngest is always singing excited to play with friends in the morning. Whatever changes BLA has made over the past 5 years, it's working for us. I highly recommend Bright Light Academy to anyone seeking childcare in the area. We plan on keeping our children at Bright Light through Pre-K!

Within about a week of being at Bright Light, and after I had been a stay at home mom for many years and they had never left my side, they were waving goodbye and walking into class by themselves. The staff are compassionate, friendly and professional and tremendously eased their initial separation anxiety. My youngest does both speech and occupational therapy. Both therapists worked at other daycares and told me they had started recommending Bright Light to their friends who are expecting and to parents looking for daycares. Not only does the staff welcome the therapists into their classes, but they keep me up to speed on his therapy sessions' progress and they carry out what the therapists instruct him to do. The director abides by the rules and takes them seriously. While this may be misundertood by some, I would rather leave my children in the care of a professional who follows the rules and abides by the law and who I can trust to leave my children with. Not only that, but she only hires the best staff to work alongside her. Also, at a time of political and religious conflict, and as a family with very different backgrounds in those aspects, she has made us feel welcome, we were treated with a lot of compassion and respect, and she has taken the time to stop and ask me about our culture and beliefs and has been very respectful to them, which you would not see happening at your average daycare! Thank you to everyone at BLA who participated in shaping the lives of our sons emotionally, socially and intellectually and have been a second home to our boys.

After lots and lots of research and so many phone calls, we chose Shady Lane School. The staff at Shady Lane are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Drop off and pick up usually take us longer than I expect because my son wants to go around and visit different teachers and say hi to everyone. Everyone learned his name quickly and greets him warmly even when he's being grumpy. Whenever I have to talk to the administrative team, my son is thrilled to play at the large train table by the front desk. His teachers are so dedicated, and I think that is such a big part of why this school is special. Our family is big and complicated, but my son's teachers have gone out their way to learn names and faces. They offer positive encouragement and praise as well as boundaries and redirection. My son used to argue with me about going to school at his last learning center/childcare provider, but now he's always eager to get up and go. I am so thankful that we found Shady Lane, and I will certainly keep them in mind if/when we have another child.
