My son goes to Brighten Academy. He has been going their for a year. We started him about 3 months…read moreafter age 2 due to the wait list. There are a couple of great things I would like to highlight. 1. They learn things in themes which is so cool. He came home this week and was telling me about camping and the stuff we would need. We have never been camping but he comes home with new information. 2. He didn't have to be potty trained. They helped us and we tried at home. Personally I think he took longer because his little brother was born when he was 2 1/2 so it was a huge transition in life for him. 3. I don't have to pack him a lunch. Some schools I looked into I had to pack a lunch. Honestly I am so busy that adding one more thing before I go to bed or to do in the morning is rough. I already pack all my pumping supplies daily in order to feed his little brother. Now here is the thing that makes the school truly exceptional... they know everyone's name. When I walk in the door, the front desk and the teachers all know my son and every other kids' names. That is just awesome. There is a reason why they are the people's choice. (We go to the Villa campus)

I just had the most awful experience. I am really disappointed. I called various sites in Clovis…read morearea to find this Austin site had 3 full days. I told them that my son is three and still has a hard time transitioning to pooping on the toilet. He doesn't feel comfortable. He literally is outta diapers and then begs me to put a diaper on so he can poop. Working on that with him. He doesn't have issues at night for 9-10 hours or during naps. He poops once a day. I told them that he's getting better and I expect him to be out of diapers completely by one month. They were so understanding on the phone. Told me they have a class of 19 with two teachers and since he's not 4 yet they would help and it wouldn't be an issue. I drove here today and I am literally guessing but more than likely this is true. Everything they told me over the phone was not true. They did not have the three full days open, she told me to start when he's fully potty trained and I felt so very uncomfortable the entire time. I felt as if it was due to his religion/ race I got some special unwanted treatment. I myself grew up experiencing racism but not like this. I was born in England and lived most of my life in the states. I have immigrant parents and I felt some racism here and there but not like this or maybe I don't remember. I was hurt that the conversation on the phone one day before was different than what I experienced. One of the girls working there told me that should would put a hold on the days for me for 24 hours. Today I drove here for a completely unknown experience that was full of run around statements. I have worked with kids and I was a nicu nurse for years. I been busy with grad school and he's just having pooping issues. He doesn't have accidents and he's still learning. I know their statements were all excuses. This was so sad to experience for me. I expected better. I will never recommend this place to family and friends. They loss some business. I hope they read this and will do better. There are no excuses for this behavior for kids. I checked out another day care who were way nicer in town. If I am an adult and you treat me like I am an idiot then I can't imagine how you would treat my son when I am not there.

As parents, you want to have a caring and safe facility, within budget, but it's so difficult to…read morefind. You go through friend referrals and take tours, but every place just felt disorganized, or unstructured or just weird sad vibes. I then went on a visit to Brighten. I've seen the facilities everywhere, and I had a coworker go to a facility near her, but I wanted to check it out myself, and this place is perfect for my little guy! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. And they're consistently friendly and helpful, not just on your first day. When I drop off my son, I always am greeted with happy and cheerful staff. They are also very organized with their day. There is a large playground outside and they play outside at least twice a day. They provide full meals for breakfast and lunch which is included in the tuition. I also love that they provide a daily written check in of how your child did at the daycare. We've been at this facility for almost 3 months and my son loves it. Details: -There are 8 different locations around the area so you're bound to find one nearby -They have half day and full day programs. -They offer nap, half nap, or no naps. Its up to you -They will help potty train your toddler -There is no price difference for potty trained versus diaper toddlers -You have to go at least two days with rates ranging from 2 days at $160.00 for the week to 5 days at $280.00 a week -They have a secure code you have to enter to open their doors. They also have a fingerprint system to check your child in and out. -There are cameras! You can watch your little on your phone or desktop while they play or sleep, or at the playground!

I came across this location and luckily I was able to get him in there! It's closer to our home. He's in the Summer Blast Program and so far, so good. The employees all seem pretty nice & my son has came home each day and said what a blast he's had. I like that they provide meals & so many different activities for the kids. It's a little pricey but worth it if you need care. I also like that they don't charge for the hours and that it's a one-time fee for the week. You can drop them off between 6:30am and pick them up at 6pm. The parking can get a little packed but it's a great place for your kid to be if you need care!

She has a huge variety of decor and comes up with beautiful ideas. Even though she had just decorated a wedding the night before she came into our venue at 4 am and finished decorating for ours. The colors, the centerpieces, the linens, the sweetheart table, it was all so beautiful! Everyone including the staff were just in awe at how gorgeous it looked.

We saw a couple other places and the chairs etc. were worn and borderline dirty.

She's very busy but I felt she was available to us when we needed her. On our wedding day, she helped us set up even things that we didn't rent from her which was a huge help on a day that is already extremely chaotic.
