My husband and I went to tour their facility, ask questions, etc. We walked in and no…read moreadministration or teachers were around. We stood there for a good two minutes just wondering where to go. We could have easily walked into the back room, snatched up a kid, and left. No bells/dingers/alarms or anything goes off when the door opens to let anyone know that someone has entered the establishment. The administrator finally came out and we told her we had called about getting a tour, and she was so frazzled. She walked me to the nursery room so we could see the way they have everything is set up. The lady in charge of the nursery is very nice, and you can see that she's very hands-on with the kids, but the administration was so lacking. I kept asking the owner questions about kid-teacher ratios, how long the waiting list is, and she didn't know the answers to any of the questions. The lady in charge of the nursery had to answer the questions for her. Didn't leave me with a good feeling. Their lack of security is crazy!

Overall, I give this school 4/5 stars at this time because, for me, the most important aspects of…read morechildcare are quite strong, and there is some room for improvement. We've been there 1.5 years. The strengths start with the staff--almost all staff are engaged (read: not on their phones, willing to conference and work with parents), and pleasant. Another strength is their policies -- the ratios they require are better than DHS, they implement and advertise policies for safety (eg, parents don't be on cell phone at pick up). Plus, the Montessori curriculum is actually implemented in classrooms--it's not just a daycare holding place. We moved from another daycare and my child's physical and cognitive development skyrocketed when we Changed schools. Now, the school is in a huge old house, so it's not fancy in material but they regularly repair and have an excellent playground the kids visit 1-2 times daily. I find it perfectly quaint. The limits right now are on communication about big changes. They have a monthly newsletter that's brief and helpful. They lack other infrastructure for communicating with parents that really works--some have a Facebook page, some rely on texting parents...but it's not consistent or multifaceted enough to catch everybody (eg some people email, some need flyers). I've learned about big changes by noticing something and asking, Like a new teacher joining or combining two classrooms. My other issue is with nutrition, which plays a big role in child behavior, mood, and development . "Snack" is often processed food with few nutrients (eg Cheez its, graham crackers), and hot lunch is better but not great. Now, we compensate by bringing our child's lunch, but she eats most or more of her allotted sugar each day at school snacks and doesn't get many important nutrients from the food provided.

My daughter has been a part of Bright Ideas since around August of 2015. She started off at the…read moreBryant location and then we moved to Sherwood in October of 2015. I was worried about the transition especially because she doesn't seem to do well with change and also because she had loved the Bryant Bright Ideas so much that I didnt think another daycare could top it. I was very surprised! She adjusted immediately and loves going to school here! She is 3 years old, has great teachers and all the other staff members are so nice and welcoming as well. Even the lady that runs this location is as nice as she can be. She always says "hi" and "bye", "have a great day." My daughter is always coming home telling me what she has learned that day and how much fun she had. I always feel like my daughter is being well taken care of, being treated right, learning, and is safe. Which is so important with childcare. If my daughter is ever sick and running fever, they call me right away and I'm able to run and get her. I've had a previous encounter with a daycare that wouldn't tell me when she was sick, so this is something very important to me. I also know that someone can't just come in the school and check her out. They use a thumbprint system and if you send someone else to get your child, you have to write a note with your DL beside it, take a picture of it, and email it to the school. I love the extra steps that help ensure my childs safety!

It is very modern in its decor with top of the line everything. The event hosted there is a fundraiser and an Iron Chef Arkansas version. The students prepared food highlighting different tastes throughout the world. One of my favorite stations was the Eastern European it contained delicacies such as perogies stuffed with cheese and covered with formalized onions, A 3 cheese white wine fondue with home made bread sticks to dip them in, A smoked salmon app that I didn't mess with since I'm allergic to fish, A caviar station that looked cool, and 4 house made sausages. There were also Mixology stations staggered about the venue that made signature cocktails. My favorite was the blood orange hurricane followed by the Bufala negra. It was a great even at a great campus I can't wait to see what the future holds for that place. If the food and the drinks were any indication of the level on instruction the students are receiving than the food business in the state will be in good hands for a while.
