These people have taken preschool and perfected it to a science. The teachers are wonderful with the kids, the facility is clean and safe, the activities are amazing and my son actually enjoys going. I like how the teachers take the time to listen and treat each child as an individual. Yes there are rules and structure but they know there is "wiggle room" within that. When my son had problems paying attention they had multiple tools to try to help him. He still has his days (they're 4. Need I say more) but he is thriving and more than ready for kindergarten in Sept.

Our kids have spend a combined four years at BECC, and we have had nothing but good experiences with the school. We recommend it to everyone we know with preschool aged kids. Pros: Play based learning- the kids learn so much, but they just think they're playing. Happy Veteran Teachers- seriously there are teachers who have been at the school for 30 years! Face-to-face interactions on a daily basis with teachers- every day at pick up and drop off I get to see my kids classroom and teachers. Authentic assessments- the teachers observe and track student progress with pictures and notes, and then collect them all into a portfolio that they then share during conferences. Super clean- no gross preschool smell here Playground community- the playground is a great place to meet up before and after school! Non-Profit Status- provides opportunities for volunteering and involvement School Board of Directors- parents apply to be involved in decision making and support of the school Cons: The school ends at age 5- I would sign my kids up for all of elementary school here if I could! I am writing this review as my kids are both aging out of the school this year and I want spread the word about this school that has provided such a safe, loving, and supportive learning environment for my kiddos!

My daughter has been coming here for about 6 months and I couldn't be happier. She is only like 20…read moremonths old but they have planned lessons for the first half of the day so its more like school than daycare. Then they have lunch and nap time and the afternoon is play time. If its nice out they all go outside in the back which is very secure and has a jungle gym and other various toys. When its raining or cold they have a big room that they call the "movement room" and its like a mini gymnasium that the kids can run around and play in. They also have different activities during different holidays and even held a picture day with a photographer like they do in grade/high school. The teachers are all really friendly and genuinely care about your child. Lastly and one of my favorite things is that they utilize an app that allows your child's teacher to send you updates throughout the day and they even send you pictures- it always makes me smile when I am at work and get a notification that they posted a picture, it really makes my day!! I highly recommend Bright Beginnings

In the meantime, she was accepted into another school. Despite not finalizing enrollment or giving consent, we were still charged. The owner had assured us that no charges would be made without our approval, yet he went ahead anyway. He later emailed claiming he would issue a refund by check, but that never happened. He continues to claim we gave consent and that the refund was processed--neither of which is true. We never agreed to anything, never signed paperwork, and never received our money back. This place is only interested in taking your money and will say anything to justify it. Avoid at all costs!

My child shouldn't go to school only to start becoming anxious about going to a tense environment. There's no real education provided because the "Waldorf" method of observational learning is what most children receive at home anyways (observing adults clean, cook, iron clothes etc.). It's nice they spend so much time outside; however, having children eat breakfast early in the morning on frigid winter days is just unnecessarily miserable (to name one example). The director suddenly left for weeks and the woman, Stephanie, who was appointed to replace her didn't seem to have any real qualifications. At drop-off and pick-up I also noticed issues with Helen/Mr. Carl and Stephanie treating the other employees poorly. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.

This school has potential, but only if they hire a quality director. The current Director (Rachel)…read moredoesn't even have experience in childcare. She only has a job because she is dating one of the higher-ups son. The Director will constantly gossip with her employees and talk about employees with other employees and start drama between them. it is extremely unprofessional and causes hostile work environment. when the Director gets called out, she doubles down and lies saying that the accusations aren't true and she doesn't know what you're talking about. it is to the point where she is letting employees go who she knows well stand up to her and spread the truth about her. The Director does not want the word getting out that she is the cause of the workplace drama so she is "cleaning house". it's a shame because the children are the ones who are suffering. they are becoming attached to teachers then having to get used to new staff over and over again. even with $1000 hiring incentive bonus on the website nobody wants to work there.
