I have highly recommended Bright Start to all of my family and friends for the past several years. Both my kids attended Bright Start and enjoyed their time there and made great friends. The teachers are professionals, who closely monitor the development of language arts and other academic curriculum. At the same time, they are kind, compassionate, and nurturing. Both my kids gladly went to school every day and loved their school environment. I came to Know, respect, and utterly trust the teachers and principal. While at work, I felt very safe with the knowledge that the Bright Start staff were taking care of my children. Bright Start has been very precious and has given my family enormous comfort and support. We have very fond memories of Bright Start and I will recommend it to everyone.

If you're looking for a school where you want your child to start reading and writing at age 4, this is not the school you want. In fact this school never promises academics beyond imaginable, instead they tell you exactly how it is. Your child has plenty of time to learn the ABC's, counting, etc.... They belive in introducing your kids to everyday learning skills. This school in an amazing way has a program that just works. My son had changed 2 schools which had promised so much and delivered nothing,until I found this beautiful learning center. He comes home excited everyday of the new things he learned. They keep it fun but teaching at the same time. They have structure and kids love it. All the teachers are just great, they know all the kids even if they're not their teachers. Mornings are so welcoming and warm. My son can't wait to go to school everyday. The director of this school is an amazing lady Ms.Sabrina. She pays a lot of attention to our kids safety and discipline. In all words I LOVE this school and I feel lucky that my son is a part of it.

First Steps is amazing. I know about childcare and things like child-teacher ratio, and availablity of the caregiver, and First Steps meets those requirements of a childcare facility. The most important key to childcare is the staff. The staff needs to be well-trained, safe and healthy, and attentive to each child. Most importantly, each staff member should work with only a few children at a time, so that each child has the same caregiver ALL day, EVERY day, EVERY week. This is important for both the child and the parent so that the child can make an emotional connection, and so that the parent can get to know and trust the caregiver. First Steps meets and exceeds these reqiurements and that is why they gained my business. My son has since left for elementary school but he will always remember his teachers from First Steps .

Anyone faced with the problem of finding reliable childcare knows the wide variety of quality in the pre-school market. That is what makes First Steps (now called Bright Start) ...

We visited many, many daycare centers before we found this one. I had become so disillusioned that we would never find suitable care for our 18-month old. From the moment we walked in, I knew it was the answer we had been searching for. The center is bright, clean, bustling with activity and full of children with happy smiles. The facilities are top notch, inside and the outside play yard and they aren't even what is best. The best part is the staff. Each and every one takes a loving, caring interest in your child. And they are reasonably priced!

I have worked in the child care industry, both in direct care and as an administrator and recognize something special when I see it. We are so lucky to have found this jewel of a preschool! If you are looking, I highly recommend you schedule a tour with Sabrina, the director and see for yourself.

PROS: Awesome staff, beautiful facility, first rate preschool education
CONS:
