Our family has been so blessed to have become part of the Bright Beginnings family. As parents, one of the first and most difficult decisions we make is who we will trust to take care of our children when we cannot be with them. Fortunately for us, we found Bright Beginnings at the perfect time. From the very beginning, we knew right away that this was the place for our daughter.Miss Maria and Miss Marybeth were her first teachers. Our daily interactions with them are what really made us comfortable. They knew we were first time parents, that we were nervous, and that we were going to ask a lot of questions. They were sweet, patient, and informative. They were the first ones to earn our trust.As she grew and moved up through the classes, we continued to develop wonderful relationships with her teachers. Some others who really stood out to us over the years were Miss Devin, Miss Desh, Miss Erica, Miss Jenny, Miss Maci, Miss Dakota, Miss Amber, Miss Maressa, and Mr. Danny.Her last teachers here at BB have been Miss Paige and Mr. Tyler. They have both done such a wonderful job caring for her this year. They have taught her new things, celebrated her successes, held her accountable for following the rules, and have encouraged her all along the way.Every one of these teachers have made an impact on the growth and development of our daughter. They have taught her so much, wiped away many tears, cleaned up many boo boos, and have truly cared for her above and beyond what I could have ever expected.I cannot say enough about how wonderful Miss Nancy is as the Director of this school. Her leadership is the heart of the team and her love for the children at this school is evident in the culture that she has fostered and in how she leads her teachers. Miss Mona is absolutely wonderful as well. It is clear how much she cares for this school, the children, and the families in it. She goes out of her way to make sure that parents feel comfortable and safe dropping their children off every day.As our daughter moves on to kindergarten in a few short weeks, I am reflecting on how much we will miss the teachers, staff, and families here. They will forever have a special place in my heart.As for recommendations, if I could give more than a 5-star rating, I would.

We have had a wonderful experience with Bright Beginnings! Our daughter has gone since she was about 6 mos old. She’s about to head off to kindergarten and Bright Beginnings will be missed! They’ve truly created such a safe, yet inviting and comforting space here. The teachers and staff are so great - you can tell they genuinely care for and get to know every student. They stayed open throughout almost all of COVID with few issues. We are so very grateful for our experience here!!

I had both my daughters go through Bright Beginnings and had the fortune of great teachers from 2 months all the way to VPK. I knew my daughters were safe and engaged while they were in their hands. The director is understanding and always makes sure they are always within regulations. I highly recommend having your child here as we will greatly miss the impact that BB had on our children!

My now teenager, went here when he was 2 through VPK and I can't tell you enough about how amazing this school was. I never had to worry about the quality of care he was receiving. As soon as you walk in, you feel safe and welcomed. Fast forward 10 years, I had another child and could not wait to get him into this school that once had a piece of my heart. Even after 10 years, I still feel the same way about this school. And the director Nancy even remembered us from 10 years ago! To me, that says something! She is dedicated to the families and the school. We would never leave if we didn't have to! <3

This is a very friendly environment and the curriculum is structured. They did more than fairly well on their compliance reviews with Pinellas county. Be very careful in handing over your $400 deposit as it is nonrefundable. Unfortunately, you have to read all of the paperwork and fine print before signing and handing over your credit card (not simultaneously or beforehand as I did.)

My little one started at Bright Beginnings last year and she absolutely loves going here. Ms. Rachel and Ms. Itzel are absolutely amazing. Seriously amazing. So kind, caring, empathetic— my little one leans in to them every morning with wide open arms and a smile, as do they. ?

After touring a few preschools in the area we knew without a shadow of a doubt that Bright Beginnings the best place for our two-year-old daughter. Her experiences there over the next three years were wonderful! From the amazing and caring teachers to the fun activities, VPK graduation ceremony and many fun events. I always refer to it as a preschool rather than a daycare because true learning is happening there. I am so grateful we found Bright Beginnings and I couldn’t imagine my child attending any other preschool. I highly recommend Bright Beginnings!

My children have been attending Bright Beginnings since the beginning of 2020, starting when they were three months old. We left a different facility which was a church daycare after wanting something more structured. I have been really pleased with BB and feel like my children are well cared for, safe, and happy. The teachers are very sweet and go the extra mile to do nice things like send pictures through their app, especially if drop off was rough, they do fun projects and food experiences, and always try to do something nice for holidays (like a framed picture for Mother's Day, a halloween parade, etc.). The facility was specifically built to be a preschool and they have a really cool interior play structure called the Treehouse, plus shaded outdoor playgrounds. Overall, I would definitely recommend Bright Beginnings!

Best preschool in Pinellas County. My oldest was here for 3.5 years and my twins were here for 5 months because we moved out of the area. The teachers are the best here. The turn over rate is low. They teach the kids and not just watch your child. They are involved with potty training. The director and assistant director are amazing. They offer extra activities that you can sign your kid up for. They have an amazing facility. BB is the absolute best!

My daughter has only been in one other daycare, so I don't have much to compare it to, but what I can say is she walks in every morning and is happy to be there. She started in the infant room and is now 2! She has moved to a new class roughly every 6 months, which is a small adjustment each time, and some teachers are more warm and fuzzy than others, but they all have been great with her and transparent with us parents. She's learned a lot that we have not taught her, which is bittersweet only because we wish we could be with her all day. To send your most prized possession into someone else's arms for 8 hours is a big decision, but We feel we've made the right choice with BB!

Day 2 a Bright Beginnings and I’m already loving it! My daughters teachers are so sweet, complimenting her daily and love her so much! It makes me feel safe to leave my Baby there. Also the app feature lets them update you with photos, what they ate, potty and notes all day! I am excited to see how much she grows and learns here ❤️

I can't say enough good things about this facility. A few months ago I became temporary guardian to a couple of kiddos and needed a day care for the baby. Jenna, the owner, figured out a way to get us a spot as quickly as possible. The baby is genuinely happy when we arrive at Bright Beginnings, reaches for her teachers (the amazing trio: Ms Ally, Ms. Rachel and Ms. Ashley) smiling and ready to play. I'll also note that her teachers cheer when we arrive, haha. They love this little girl as if she is their own family. I called Bright Beginnings because they came highly recommeded by a friend and now I absolutely see why. 5 Stars all the way.

This is by far the best school my children have ever gone too. They went to 3 different schools in a 2 month time period before attending bright beginnings. All the staff members are super friendly and there for my family in every way possible. My children have blossomed tremendously since starting here last year and it brings me endless joy to know my children are loved, safe and learning new things each and every day. So happy and lucky to be apart of this BB
