We absolutely love BrightNest! Both of my sons attend, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff and the care they receive every day. The teachers are kind, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's growth and happiness. From the moment we enrolled, we felt welcomed and supported. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that help the children learn and develop while having fun. I especially appreciate the communication from the staff and the peace of mind that comes from knowing my boys are in such caring hands. My sons are excited to go to daycare each day, and it is clear they are thriving socially, emotionally, and academically. BrightNest has become like an extension of our family, and I am so grateful for the love and dedication they show to every child. I highly recommend BrightNest to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and positive environment for their children. Five stars all the way!

Good afternoon, I am pleased to respond to the most recent review. I have had my child enrolled at Brightnest Academy for the past two years. He was initially in the 4-year-old class, and this year he is in the VPK program. His progress has been outstanding—he can now read and write, and although he did not speak any English when he first arrived, he now speaks it fluently. Yes, I did notice the gate in the aftercare classroom; however, no child has ever left the classroom unsupervised. The teachers are extremely attentive. Even while providing daily reports about our children, they remain fully aware of and engaged with the students. Additionally, that classroom does not have direct access to any exterior exits. Overall, all of the teachers are attentive—not only to their own classrooms, but to every child in the school. Ms. Joanna and Ms. Mona have also assisted two of my friends in obtaining RBTs for their children, and they are doing very well. The school even offered to cover the time not paid by insurance so that one child could have an RBT throughout the entire school day. They have consistently supported me with renewing of my ELC, and even helped me apply for VPK and now for Kindergarten. In short, I am extremely happy and satisfied with Brightnest. If I could give 10 stars, I would gladly do so! Thank you, Brightnest.
