This place is not a daycare, but an early learning center that focuses on building a foundation for young children and their education.

After touring almost all of the preschools in Port Townsend and surrounding areas, I chose this…read moreschool for my two kids. The staff won me over with their love and dedication to this small non-profit tucked away in Port Hadlock. With minimal funding this school runs on a lot of love and help from the families who entrust this place for their childcare needs. The school has about 60 students total from toddler through 8th grade. The preschool is priced right and boasts being a part of the UW Early Achievers program. The school is founded on basic Christian principles, but is not overtly religious. At one point, the school was overseen by the Seventh Day Adventist church, but isn't any longer. As a hold over from that time, however, this is a vegetarian school. One of the only vegetarian school in WA! My kids have definitely grown to love vegetables while attending here. I've found the staff approachable and engaged and extremely loving and accommodating to families. I'm so grateful for this school!

This is one of the best LICENSED day cares in the whole area. They are kind, courteous,…read moreprofessional, and the kids actually seem to love being there. My daughter was so unhappy at her other 'day care' and would just cry when I would leave her. Here she is so happy and even looks forward to going and cant understand why she cant go on the weekends. What really grabbed my attention when looking for a new place for my daughter is the fact that the director has a Masters in Education and the Program Director has taught in the military for over 30 years. I was also please to find out that each of the 'class rooms' were set up just like a traditional school, with art work, and curriculum that were being taught for that week. The other thing that really pleased me was that they provided a FDA Sponsored Food Program, which means that they provided meal, breakfast, lunch, and snack. While on a tour of the facility I got to see the kitchen where each meal was prepped and was pleased to see that they had a list of every child's allergies listed above the food prep area. I was also happy to see just how connected each of the teachers were with the children, interacting with them one on one, and how they all reinforced equality and friendship, and used a soothing voice. If you are looking for a loving, caring, enriched place for your kiddos, you really need to check this place out.

Starbright is like a second home…read more My son started back during COVID when we were very unhappy with his care center and how they were handling things (combining classrooms, being lazy in taking precautions, etc). We took a tour with Starbright and instantly felt at ease. You could tell they clearly cared so much about the kids, keeping everyone safe, and remaining as normal as you can during an abnormal time. My son attended until he went to kindergarten. My daughter has been there since she was an infant. It's a terrible day when you drop off your baby and go back to work, but it's much less terrible when you know that your child is going to be taken care of by incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and kind teachers. Ms. Pam has been there for over 20 years, and she is wonderful. Our daughter will be heading off to kindergarten in the fall, and it will be so sad to say our goodbyes at the end of August. We have loved each teacher for the way they have helped both of my kids develop into the beautiful, caring people they are today. My kids are different people, with their individual personalities, and both have been able to grow and flourish into incredible versions of themselves. Ms. Melissa is the Pre-K teacher for my daughter, and this class is incredible. My daughter has learned so much since being in this class. The way Ms. Melissa makes learning fun and creative and engages the kids is remarkable. Sidenote: I have attended a few field trips over the years, and I will say every single time we arrive somewhere, the first thing I hear is how much they love Starbright kids because they are so well-behaved and have such great manners. Lastly, Lexie and Jen are incredible, and like family. They know every single child's name, parents' name, and have a story to tell you about something that your kid did that week. I always appreciate communication via email when something changes, and the willingness to talk and find a resolution if there is a concern. They keep things running smoothly, and they truly care about every child that comes through. We will forever be grateful to Starbright. I have tears just writing this.

I want to start this off that Starbright is 10/10. The center is extremely well organized and the…read moreamount of effort put by the teachers that I had interactions with were just splendid. The boss babe, Jen, she listened and took action anytime it was needed and did her best to make your requests made- EVEN THROUGH the hardest times of the pandemic. I was so sad to pull my son out of after only being there for 6 months because I REALLY loved how they loved and cared for my son. But he started to feel unsafe and would cry and fight going. When I asked why, he would tell me the name of one teacher who just made him feel unsafe. I came to learn that anytime my son had to be around Ms. Nevi that he would do what he could to leave the immediate area. I also noticed little things that she would say or do didn't always add up. I cherish the memories we have from Starbright and was really looking forward to my second baby going there- but I couldn't continue to keep my son in a place with a teacher that he would scream in discomfort about.

There really are not enough words to describe how wonderful Mona's Daycare is. My son was in her…read morecare from the age of 9mo until 5 years. In all of that time I never had a hesitation or doubt that my son was in the right place and receiving the best care he could. Mona's Daycare is clean, the atmosphere is inviting and she nurtures each child as if they were her own. I wholeheartedly believe that my son felt as if he was at home in her care. Mona provides home cooked meals for the children, teaches them age appropriate lessons and gives them the skills they need to navigate through early childhood. My son had fun and made great friends while at Mona's Daycare. Simply put, Mona becomes family. I would recommend that anyone take their child to Mona's. You will not find a better care provider for you child in the area.
