From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and part of a true community, which made all the difference for us as a family. Principal Dena Stoneman is always attentive, approachable, and thoughtful in every detail. Secretary Sara Sinclair is a kind and loving person, always willing to help with warmth and efficiency. We are also deeply grateful to Elena's teachers -- Ms. Chu, Ms. Delgado, and Ms. Andy -- for the care, dedication, and love they've shown throughout her learning journey this year. We fully trust the school and are excited to continue this journey with you all in the upcoming school year!

It has taken me months of reflection to write this review because our experience with MMS was…read moredeeply confusing and upsetting. Our 3-year-old daughter started at MMS in January 2024. We really loved her primary teachers, and initially, she seemed to be doing well. There were a few incidents of misbehavior (hitting, biting, not listening--maybe three times?) but overall, it was a positive experience. She made friends, spoke happily about school and her teachers, and seemed engaged. From the beginning, I found Dena to be condescending and sanctimonious, but I tried to overlook it. After summer camp, she returned to the same class with many of the same students. But from the start of the new school year, we began receiving frequent calls and incident reports about her behavior--hitting, biting, disrupting nap time, etc. Over the next few months, things unraveled. Our daughter no longer wanted to go to school. She became hysterical every morning at drop-off. We received daily incident reports and multiple phone calls from the school. At home and in other settings, playdates, gymnastics, family events, her behavior was very different. She wasn't perfect, but she was typical for a 3-4-year-old. It began to feel like the school had completely lost control of the situation. She was regularly sent to the office for "breaks" or timeouts, but she would just sit and color, so it didn't feel like a consequence to her. The school called us to pick her up early several times, saying they couldn't manage her and that she was essentially a danger to others. She also began saying things like "I'm bad" and "I'm mean," which was a major red flag. We took her to the pediatrician, an occupational therapist, and had her evaluated for ADHD and other potential concerns. Everything came back within the range of typical development. We had multiple meetings with the school. Dena assured us they were trying everything, but their actions didn't reflect that. Eventually, they asked if we could switch her to half days. Although it was a major challenge for our full-time working household, we agreed, hoping it would help. It didn't. The daily calls continued, and we were still asked to pick her up early. They assigned an aide to shadow her, but the behavior didn't improve. Our daughter started coming home saying no one wanted to play with her, that she had no friends, and that she was bad. Our OT was confused--if she had a one-on-one aide, how was she still getting into so many incidents? We tried sticker charts, calming strategies, every tool recommended by professionals. And yes, our daughter is emotional and sometimes struggles to keep her hands to herself, but again, not in a way that felt outside the norm for her age. We received two to three detailed incident reports each day. It often seemed like the school was spending more energy documenting her behavior than actually helping her. Over time, it became clear we weren't welcome. Dena and some of the teachers began giving us cold looks. Dena even told us that other parents didn't want their kids playing with ours. The whole environment felt hostile and out of control. After another unproductive meeting with Dena, we were told our options were to find a new school or pay for a full-time aide, on top of tuition. We enrolled her in a new school the following week, and the difference has been incredible. One of the strangest parts came when we decided to withdraw our daughter. Dena asked if we would bring her by for "closure." I declined, as I didn't feel that would be appropriate. I went to pick up her belongings, and while the students and teachers had made her a goodbye card, which seemed sweet at first, the messages inside were deeply unsettling. Things like "We know there's good in you" made it sound like she was evil or broken. Again, she was THREE. And she really is a sweet, loving kid (who gives the best hugs). At her new school, she has many friends, and in 7 months, she's had one behavioral incident. We still recognize that she is an emotional and spirited child, but she is thriving in a supportive environment. I only wish we had made the switch sooner. Looking back, it's shocking to realize that for the entire second half of the school year at MMS, we didn't hear a single positive thing about our daughter. I feel heartbroken thinking about the constant negative feedback loop she was caught in. no wonder she thought she was "bad." I'm not saying MMS is a terrible school for everyone. Clearly, some families have had positive experiences. But it seems that if your child doesn't fit a certain mold, they are unwilling or unequipped to support them. I still struggle to understand how things got so bad, especially considering the immediate change we saw when we moved her. Even at home, she was noticeably happier. she now runs into school every morning and i have so much peace of mind.

Communication is always consistent with parents and teachers, no matter what issue/information may come up. This pre-school uses the SchoolStatus Connect App, which is a great communication tool that the teachers utilize in order to keep parents informed, engaged, and present. I highly recommend this daycare for any prospective parents looking for a faith-based, down-to-earth school that loves and cares for their children!

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Tierrasanta highly enough. After coming from a different…read moredaycare, I quickly realized what an exceptional early education center looks like. The difference was evident from the very beginning. From the beautiful, thoughtfully designed classrooms to the clean, organized, and secure environment, every detail reflects how much pride the staff takes in creating a place where children can truly thrive. One of the things I appreciated most was the communication. Whether it was a daily update, a milestone our son reached, or even a minor incident like a bump or scrape, I was notified promptly and always felt informed. The communication between his teachers, the office staff, and myself was outstanding. I never had to wonder what was happening during his day because they made sure I always knew. Bright Horizons is truly a family oriented and family friendly center. Parents are treated as partners, and they do an incredible job keeping families involved. Events, classroom activities, and special celebrations are communicated well in advance, with reminders provided along the way. Nothing ever feels last minute or overwhelming. They make it easy for families to participate, create memories, and feel connected to their child's experience. The office staff is absolutely incredible. They are warm, welcoming, organized, and always willing to help. Every morning started with a smile, and every afternoon ended with someone taking the time to connect with our family. Their support and dedication have made such a positive impact on our experience. I especially want to recognize Ms.Laura. Anytime I had questions about safety policies, procedures, or center protocols, she took the time to answer every question thoroughly and thoughtfully, always putting my mind at ease. As a parent, knowing your concerns are heard and taken seriously means everything. It is also clear how much she values and supports her staff. The positive culture she has created is reflected throughout the entire center, and it is obvious she leads with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Ms. Dru and Ms. Monique have had an immeasurable impact on my boys life. They loved him through his hardest days, celebrated his biggest accomplishments, encouraged his growth, and believed in him every step of the way. Their patience, compassion, and dedication helped shape him into the confident little boy he is today. We will forever be grateful for the love they poured into him. What impressed me just as much was that the care extended beyond his own classroom. Teachers who had never even been his teacher still knew him by name, stopped to ask him about his day, celebrated his successes, and made him feel like he belonged. That doesn't happen by accident, it speaks to the incredible culture Bright Horizons has built. I also had the privilege of being part of the Family Partnership Group (FPG), and it was one of my favorite parts of our experience. It gave parents the opportunity to support the teachers, connect with other families, and contribute to a community that genuinely values partnership. It made us feel like we were more than just enrolled at the center--we were truly part of a family. As our boy gets ready to begin TK, saying goodbye is incredibly bittersweet. Bright Horizons has been such an important part of our lives, and we will truly miss seeing everyone each day. Thank you to Ms. Laura, Ms.Drew, Ms. Monique, the wonderful office staff, and every teacher who made Bright Horizons Tierrasanta feel like a second home. Thank you for loving our son, keeping him safe, helping him grow, and treating our family with such kindness and respect. If you are looking for a center where your child will be safe, genuinely loved, encouraged, and known by name, I can say with complete confidence that Bright Horizons Tierrasanta is that place. Our family will always be grateful for the years and memories we shared there.
