My daughter has been attending Bright Kidz since she was 8 weeks old. Maureen and Linda knew how much anxiety I had going back to work so early and they held my hand through the whole process. On her first day they called just to let me know how great she's doing and calm my new mama nerves. She's now 2 and in her third classroom. The teachers are great. They've helped her learn to eat solids, drink from a straw, walk, share, identify letters, sing songs... so many people comment on how smart and social my daughter is and I give 100% credit to Bright Kidz. The teachers are all happy to chat and give feedback on how my daughter is doing in class. They also use an app that allows me to get pictures throughout the day and see how she ate, napped, and her diaper changes at the end of the day. I could go on and on forever but my point is don't hesitate to send your child here. They'll be loved and in great hands.

I wrote a review before when we started using Bright Kidz, we loved the school and sent both of our kids there. One for 3 years and the other for two. We always had a great experience there until.... Our son just graduated pre-k from there and we were all set to send our daughter back for a third year. Unfortunately, when we asked about her going back in September and her not being there for the summer we were told that they can't hold a spot for her, and there were already people on a list to get in. After going there for 3 years, referring friends who also brought their children there, we were denied. Somehow, a family that had never been late for a payment, brought them business and assisted new parents with issues pertaining how to do certain things on the Tadpoles app we were told that basically there is no such thing as loyalty here and we won't even allow you to put a down payment to secure a spot for September. Just because we take every summer off with the kids to enjoy the time. Afsheen the owner, is the nicest lady and was always helpful but to Ubaid her husband, basically it's a business that has no loyalty towards its customers from what we gathered. It was disappointing because we have heard about many children asking about our kids and if they are coming back. Over all, the school is great but when it comes down to it, regardless of time spent there you are just a customer and will be treated like you aren't family if it comes down to it.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while since we have been so happy with Bright Kidz, and what better time to do it than when we are stuck at home and missing the wonderful teachers and staff at Bright Kidz so much! My daughter started at Bright Kidz back in December when she was 7 months old. I toured every daycare in the area before I decided on Bright Kidz, and some I even went back to two- three times to make sure I gave every place a fair shot, but every time my gut kept telling me to go with Bright Kidz. From the tour alone, Bright Kidz was spotless and clean each time I visited, the teachers were always engaged with the kids, and the kids appeared to be having a great time. The cleanliness factor was huge for us. Bright Kidz is sparkling clean all the time, and they’re always washing and wiping everything down. Others that came very highly recommended looked dirty, smelled like diapers, were totally chaotic, and the teachers would gossip and text and not engage with the kids. Fast forward to enrolling my daughter at Bright Kidz after meeting Maureen, the director, who is super professional and helpful to this first-time daycare mom. We started my daughter twice a week to see how it would go, but soon enough we were bringing her full time because we were so happy, and so was she! She always came home clean and so well taken care of, and we love receiving all the pictures through the Tadpoles app throughout the day. Even the babies have a curriculum that they follow and it has been great to see our daughter learning each day. Also comforting to know there are cameras in case anything were to happen- most of the other local daycares didn’t have cameras or only had them at the front door. Needless to say, my husband and I are extremely happy with the care our daughter is receiving at Bright Kidz and so grateful to Maureen, Miss Nancy in the infant room, and all the rest of the staff for taking awesome care of our daughter. She doesn’t even look back when we drop her off, she’s excited to be there. They even sent videos to the kids after they closed for covid-19 so the babies could see their teachers. They truly know each child so well and treat them with love. I had read a bad review or two which made me nervous, but I’m so glad I went with my instinct and enrolled my daughter at Bright Kidz. For two parents with long commutes, knowing our daughter is in such great hands all day is a huge relief. Highly recommend Bright Kidz!

As new parents my wife and I were nervous to send our daughter to full time daycare. We toured a few and never felt quite comfortable with the facilities or curriculum until we got to Bright Kidz. The moment we brought our daughter to check it out she immediately felt comfortable with the other kids and teachers in the “waddlers” room (she just turned 1). She started just a few months before COVID struck so just as she was in her hitting her stride everything came to a hault.During the time they were closed her teachers sent videos to keep the kids engaged throughout their time at home. As with most parents we weren’t sure what to do when they reopened but were comfortable with the added precautions they took to ensure everyone’s safety. Our daughter learned how to walk, talk (English and Spanish) and count to 10 in just 6 months there before we had to move out of state.We couldn’t ask for better caretakers of our daughter than Ms Jeta, Ms Maria, Ms Maureen and the rest of the Bright Kidz family.

Nowadays with all the fears and frustration as a parent during Covid-19 and making the tough decision about sending our child back to daycare, I felt it was really important to write this review for other parents. I'm really surprised by some of the reviews on here, and therefore felt it even more important to express how wonderful Bright Kidz has been for my daughter. My daughter started at Bright Kidz back in December when she was 7 months old. I toured every daycare in the area before I decided on Bright Kidz, and some I even went back to two or three times to make sure I gave every place a fair shot, but every time my gut kept telling me to go with Bright Kidz. From the tour alone, Bright Kidz was spotless and clean each time I visited, the teachers were always engaged with the kids, and the kids appeared to be having a great time. The cleanliness factor was huge for us. Bright Kidz is sparkling clean all the time, and they're always washing and wiping everything down. Now with Covid that's especially important, and they are taking all the proper precautions and cleaning more than ever, but they were already the cleanest to begin with. Other daycares that came very highly recommended looked dirty, smelled like diapers, were totally chaotic, and the teachers would gossip and text and not engage with the kids. Fast forward to enrolling my daughter at Bright Kidz after meeting Maureen, the director, who is super professional and helpful to this first-time daycare mom. We started my daughter twice a week to see how it would go, but soon enough we were bringing her full time because we were so happy, and so was she! She always came home clean and so well taken care of, and we love receiving all the pictures through the Tadpoles app throughout the day. Even the babies have a curriculum that they follow and it was great to see our daughter learning each day. Also comforting to know there are cameras in case anything were to happen- most of the other local daycares didn't have cameras or only had them at the front door. Once daycares closed for Covid-19 our daughter was home with us and we had another baby, so I didn't send her back to daycare right away. For any parent it is a difficult decision to send your child to a daycare in these scary times of Covid, but knowing how well taken care of she would be at Bright Kidz made the decision easier. After five months at home my daughter is now back at Bright Kidz in their Waddler room and she is absolutely thriving. Just one day back and it was clear we made the right decision to send her back. She is beyond happy every day and comes home with such a better demeanor than she had when she was stuck home with us for so long. The interaction with the other kids, the loving care of the teachers, and knowing that Bright Kidz is following all the proper protocols to keep my daughter safe made it clear to me that we made the right decision. My daughter loves walking in to school now and doesn't want to leave! Needless to say, my husband and I are extremely happy with the care our daughter is receiving at Bright Kidz and so grateful to Maureen, Miss Nancy in the infant room, Miss Jeta in the Waddler room, and all the rest of the staff for taking awesome care of our daughter. They even sent videos to the kids after they closed for Covid-19 so the kids could see their teachers. They truly know each child so well and treat them with love. I had read a bad review or two, but I'm so glad I went with my instinct and enrolled my daughter at Bright Kidz. For two working parents, knowing our daughter is in such great hands learning and playing all day is a huge relief. We will be enrolling our son as well. Highly recommend Bright Kidz!

I’m going to be honest, I was a little hesitant at first to consider Bright Kidz due to a few unfavorable reviews. I tend to dwell on imperfections, but decided to tour the school anyways since it was right down the street from my house. After previously visiting a half a dozen other places I was so glad I decided to go because I really like the school. I instantaneously fell in love with it even more after I saw how happy my children were there! Education is extremely important to our family especially since I have been teaching for 16 years. Bright Kidz follows a daily routine that is curriculum based, fun, hands-on and meaningful. They take the children outside twice a day to the beautiful turfed playground. It’s partitioned to allow multiple classes to utilize the various areas for age appropriate toys. I get at least a dozen photos a day sent to me through the use of their home/school connection app. At the end of the day I am provided with a daily report of their day; curriculum, bathroom, food consumption, nap times, teacher notes, etc. I use this info to engage my son about his day during dinner conversation. We look through the photos together and he tells me about his class and friends. I can tell my sons vocabulary and social skills have grown since attending school here. The teachers, office staff and owners are friendly and empathetic. They really care for the children and have their best interest at heart. Its astonishing how clean my children come home. Even after painting and playing there is rarely a speck of dirt on them. The school is very clean. They even wash out their food containers and pack everything up very neatly. I also like the little extras that they offer to make it a fun school and not just a daycare; pizza Fridays, themed summer camp, school photos, fundraisers, holiday events, extra curricular soccer, etc. My experience here has taught me to not read too deeply into reviews because you cannot always please everyone. I’m very happy what this school has offered so far and look forward to the future. Thank you!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this daycare!! They are always super accommodating and take such great care of my little girl. She loves going to school here and always brightens up to see her teachers, friends and the rest of the staff. My favorite part of this daycare is the curriculum they have even for babies and they are constantly teaching my daughter new things I highly recommend this daycare!

Please send your kids someplace else. They are awful. It's a revolving door with teachers. They don't take into consideration the safety and well being of your child. Diaper rash was a huge problem. They were neglecting my kid. Do yourself a favor and find another place.
