My 2 year old Jackson attends Brighton Day. It's the first time we put him in childcare and I was…read moreso nervous (as I'm sure he was as well). Tracy, the director is awesome she gave me so much confidence Jackson would adjust well. The facility is new and beautiful. The specific playgrounds for each age group are full of awesome age appropriate outdoor fun! Ms.Gena and Ms.Emily are incredible. They make drop offs on morning that Jackson is in a bit of a mood easy. They care so much and always remember to tell me how he did during the day (if he napped, how he ate, etc). Jackson was not feeling well one day and I came to pick him up early. They had him cuddled up in his blanket comforting him. I cannot imagine a more wonderful place for Jackson to spend his time while I am working! Did I mention how much his vocabulary has improved and how he is eating more foods since starting!

I strongly caution any parent considering Castle Brook Academy. The environment often felt…read morestressful rather than nurturing, and some staff interactions with children were rough or inappropriate. Screens and videos are used everyday with children of all ages, including infants. The facility does not have cameras, making it hard to know what's happening throughout the day. Since transferring my kids to a different daycare, their entire demeanors have changed. My heart aches seeing how much my children are thriving in a healthy environment now. I only wish I had realized sooner how harmful Castle Brook really was.

We love everyone at Castle Brook and are glad we found them. Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Eisha are so…read morewelcoming, friendly and helpful every time we arrive. Ms. Peggy and Ms. Nora are great with the VPK4 kids. Both are great with fostering an amazing learning environment while encouraging the kids to have fun together. I was able to witness Ms. Peggy and Ms. Stephanie handle a behavior issue with my child and both were very firm yet loving while helping my child understand the appropriate and expected behavior in the future. Ms. Pam is always friendly and does a great job with preparing great meals for all of the kids. We would recommend Castle Brook for anyone that is looking any of the childcare services they provide.

Absolutely a 10-Star facility!…read more Clean with no food, waste, or even errant smells. Clean kids too! Educational enough to satisfy an Asian parent. Fun enough for a surfers kid. And traditional enough for Christians (but welcome to all). Affordable at around $100 a day. We were so pleased. They made it a pleasure! Opens at 7am, which is a bit late. Otherwise have more kids and send them to Lighthouse!

KinderCare has been expertly taking care of my daughter for a few months now. I love the attention…read morethey give her and the multitude of classes they have for her. Which is rare to find in a daycare for babies. They keep you informed through their app about all the happening involving your child and they upload photos all the time. For Halloween they had a parade of babies, which was the cutest thing I have ever seen. West assured your child will be in expert hands here. I know mine is.

My daughter has attended St. Augustine KinderCare since January 2020 and she loves it…read more Staff - During this past year, my youngest has had a few changes in staff, but it wasn't due to nefarious actions of management. They either became full-time staff in higher education, moved out of the area, or just retired. Shifting teachers around until new staff is hired is a normal process. Each person who has taken on the responsibility of taking care of my child has been wonderful. With my first daughter, I too was concerned about teacher changes, but I realized that unless your taking your kiddo to private daycare you will encounter these changes. Turnover - Yes, they have had turnover, but every daycare does. We're a military family and my kids have attended a fair share of daycares. The staff they've hired are caring and loving. Facility. Always clean, kid friendly, and learning-centric. This facility remained open the entire year and focused heavily on creating a fun atmosphere for the kids, but being mindful of the limitations of covid. Activities. Plenty. Dedication. A+

But frankly I can't figure out why they need 2 to 3 lifeguards for a pool the size of a tennis court? Seems like it would cost a fortune and they look, at a minimum, to be very bored. Since all members sign all their rights away when becoming a member, why not just add a condition to cover the swimming at your own risk part? Minors need parents present, etc but the rest of us are totally capable of handling it on our own and making the place more affordable for all!

They are only open Tuesday and Thursday from 11:30 to 1 pm. Call to reserve a table although they will accept walks in. They also have take out. We tried four of their meals and everything was outstanding. They vegetables are from the school garden. Your waiter is one of the students and have made all the dishes. They are more than happy to describe how each dish was prepared. Of the dishes I really loved the shrimp gnocchi with fall vegetables nice taste and perfectly cooked shrimp. Loved their deserts. Not easy to find (they do have signs that point to the cafe) it's on the backside of the school.
