Bright Minds is a breath of fresh air. After a pretty horrible experience at another local preschool, our family decided to give Bright Minds Academy a try. We have been so pleased since our child began attending Bright Minds. The staff is warm, caring, and kind. A huge shout to Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Edith-our child raves about them and it is evident that they care about our child's wellbeing. Our child enjoys going to school, learns so much, and has made such great connections with the staff and other students. To me, this is so meaningful as we want our child to love learning! Our child is happy and actually wants to go to school. The facility itself is clean, the toys are thoughtfully selected and rotated, the director and owner are kind/caring, there is open and honest communication from staff/teachers/owners/director. They even hold parent/teacher conferences to showcase what our child was working on, areas of growth, and progress. Specifically highlighting our child's strengths in the process. They have had concerts and halloween events which are extremely well thought out and executed, leaving an impression on children and families alike. There is structure and routine in our childs day. Our child knows what to expect and what times things are going to happen. Our child (as do many preschoolers) really thrives with this routine and structure in place. The class and environment are not hectic or chaotic, the staff has great classroom management. Our family went through some very challenging times and Bright Minds showed up ten fold for our family. Check-ins, asking if we needed anything, and accommodating anything that we needed. For this alone, our family will always be grateful for the staff, owner, and directors at Bright Minds. Anyone can become an educator, but being genuine, compassionate, and caring, during the hardest times really does showcase the nature of the staff here. Huge shout out to Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Eunhee, Ms. Lauren and even the other teachers such as Ms. Stephanie who have shown how much they care. I too work in education, and finding genuine educators like those here at Bright Minds is not easy. As other reviews state, we too wish Bright Minds would expand to elementary school :) If you are looking for a fabulous preschool, that is clean, well managed, with staff/teachers/owners/directors that go the extra mile, look no further. Seriously! read more

My daughter started in this school July of 2023 and graduated TK this year. She stayed through the summer class 2025 as well. This has been the best investment I made for my daughter. The teachers are the kindest and most loving to the kids. She grew up here. She started talking in full sentences because of BM. She improved all around because of BM. Here she learned more about being a kind and loving kid. Always there to help just like her teachers! I can't find all the great words I want to say as it's making me speechless. To parents that are inquiring or looking for preschool/TK. Here is the best place to put your kid in! You will not regret it. I recommend Bright Minds Academy 100%. Thank you for all that you've done for my daughter, for us. Keep shining BM! read more

See all

My son has been going here for 1.5 yrs and my almost 2 year old will be starting in july! I have seen my son grow and learn significantly from attending brightminds. At 3 years old he knew how to write his name! Just recently he learned about space and can name all the planets (cute little song)! They have a great curriculum and the teachers and staff are so nice. There are constant real time communications from the teachers each day. They really do care for their students. Throughout the year they also have activities where there is a halloween parade, mothers day event, and fathers day event that make it fun for the parents. I also appreciate the flexibility of being able to choose attendance days. Everyday i feel comfortable knowing my child is in good hands. The school is clean, bright (some other schools i visited are dark) and has a lot of space with a playgrond with wiggle cars which my son loves to ride. Side note i had looked at many preschools before this one in dublin/san ramon/livermore. After recieving multiple preschool recommendations from a facebook post for this school i went to check it out. After meeting with Ms.Jennifer for a tour i just knew it was the right school. They care about the families for example- The owner Ms.Eunhee is also just so nice. I remember it was a hot day and my husbands car battery went dead so she stayed after hours letting us stay at the school and have the kids play with the toys to keep them entertained while waiting for AAA. Do yourself a favor if you are looking for a school just schedule a tour. Im sure you will love it! read more

We've been at Bright Minds right when they just opened around covid up until now (& a few more years!!). My oldest son started there around covid in 2020 and of course I was VERY hesitant but they took precautions and did everything they could to keep our kids in school. As the years went by my eldest son was there up until 5 years old. (he started around 2 or 3 years, and finished last summer school before Kinder). The curriculum is great, they would send us home homework assignments (1-2 sheets) and he started getting the hang of the routine of homework everyday. He would look forward to them! He has grown so much since he started and they have prepared him so much for Kindergarten. My middle child goes there now and he is loving it so much, ever since he started last summer he has grown to be independent and eager to learn. They made my transition to potty training with both kids so much more easy too. Lastly, the best part of it is the updates we get while he is at school. It shows his meals, potties, and photos/videos! We've met amazing teachers a long the way and you can definitely tell they love caring for our kids as well. We love bright minds so much & we were so lucky we found them. We cant wait to start my daughter soon! read more

The best preschool available in the east bay! The teachers are fantastic and the learning curriculum is efficient yet fun for the preschool children. Both of my kids attended bright minds. I only wish they would expand to a grade school program. The campus is enclosed and tucked away from the street. There are multiple rooms for various ages. The children go through several subjects each day. At the end of each semester they bring home a substantial packet of language arts and math work that has been completed over 6 months. Each day they have 1-2 pages of homework. It only takes 10 minutes to complete but helps acclimate them to the routine of school. They offer various times and days and the staff are very flexible to care needs. read more

After a rather poor experience with Valley Montessori , we were so glad to find BrightMinds. It isn't easy finding schools, let alone ones that are so engaged in your child's success as BrightMinds is. The teachers all care and you can see that when you drop off your child, when you get updates in the APP, whether it's a message or a picture, and with all the crafts and projects they do. We couldn't have picked a better place to bring our child. Our child has accelerated in learning and it's amazing to see. Thank you Miss Maria 1 and 2, Ellie, Tanibet and Eun Hee. Our child loves school thanks to you. read more

We shopped several preschools before finding Bright Minds. From our first meeting with the program director, Eunhee, we were very impressed by the spacious, clean, well-organized facilities as well as with Eunhee's approach to caring for and educating the kids. Our little guy has been attending since July, and he's very happy there. We feel that he's learning and playing in a loving, safe, and fun environment. read more

I would give this school 10 stars if I could. We went through multiple failed attempts at finding a good daycare/school for our 3 year old but since finding bright minds I wish he never had to leave. My son used to kick and scream at drop off but at bright minds they were compassionate and helpful and after only a few months he never cries at school anymore. The director is so involved in the curriculum and care that her teachers provide I never ever worry about our son there. Our 3 year old is on his way to being able to read before kindergarten thanks to this school. Highly recommend! read more

We feel incredibly blessed that we took our daughter to Bright Minds. The hard work, dedication, and patience in teaching our daughter was extremely evident. In the two years that she attended Bright Minds, we have seen her learn and grow exponentially. Every morning she is happy and eager to get to school, so much so, that we now say goodbye to her at our car before we help her out because she often runs to the door leaving us in dust and heads into the building without a goodbye or a glance back. We know that a huge part of that excitement is because of the care and dedication of the staff. They create a fun and safe environment to learn in and our child just can't wait to get in the door and participate. As parents we were very nervous when choosing a pre school and fortunately we really hit the jackpot. Many of the staff must be Livermore locals because my daughter and I would see them at the farmers market or grocery store, and she would always be thrilled. We are extremely sad that her time here is now up but we are so thankful for the care they have provided the last two years. read more

Our daughter (2 years old) has been thriving in Bright Minds! She literally said en route to school one morning "I'm so excited to go to school today." The facility is clean and the teachers are all so sweet! The owner Eunhee is wonderful and very responsive. We LOVE getting updates and photos of her playing with friends and see what she's learning throughout the day via the parent portal. read more
