The teachers have been their for years and each of my kids connect to each one of them. While most daycares say they are do preschool activities, Self Development's main focus is learning. My son loves talking about the centers and what he learned at different tables. The staff is wonderful. Even though my older too children have started school they still love going to the preschool for before and aftercare. The before an after care program really helps my family's schedule.

Our family has been part of the Self Development family (when I refer to them as family, I mean the…read moreteachers and staff at both the Preschool and Academy treat our kids as their own) for 6 years now and we couldn't be happier. The faculty and staff members have all been great to work with and extremely open with communication when needed. We ran into a rough patch with our son at the end of 1st and beginning of 2nd grade with staying on task and completing work which was frustrating, but in working with Mrs. Salvatori (Principal) and Ms. Vernetta (Preschool Director/HR) we were able to work together to place him in a class with a teacher he absolutely adores (Mrs. Schaller, who he thankfully has again for 3rd) and he once again loves learning. Our daughter started kindergarten this year with Mrs. Haschke which has also been phenomenal! One other thing I need to add, especially after reading through some of the other reviews is that it's not just us (my husband and I) that love the Self Development family - our kids do as well. When the pandemic was at it's peak in sprint/summer of 2020, we kept the kids home for 6 weeks and every single morning they would get up and beg to go back and play with their friends because they missed them and the staff. It's not uncommon for our daughter to run to give the staff hugs or share her accomplishments in learning with them - and they help celebrate it! Seeing the smiles on our kids faces when we pick up/drop off each day reinforces our choice to trust Self Development Preschool/Academy with our little learners.

Our experience with Brightmont Academy has been outstanding. From the very beginning, we have felt…read moresupported, heard, and valued as a family. One of the most meaningful aspects of this school is the level of care and attention given not only to students, but also to parents. Communication has always been clear, timely, and respectful. Whenever support has been needed, the staff has been responsive and genuinely invested in helping. I would especially like to recognize Principal Deuree Noel, along with Ms. Cruz, Ms. Susan, Mr. Ernesto, and the entire team. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication consistently reflect a culture of excellence and care. What truly sets Brightmont apart is the peace of mind it provides. Knowing that my child is in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment has made a tremendous difference for our family. The school fosters a positive atmosphere where students are treated with respect and encouraged to thrive. From a parent's perspective, this has been a reassuring and positive experience throughout the years. It is clear that the school is committed to both academic quality and the well-being of its students. We are very grateful for Brightmont Academy and highly recommend it to families looking for a supportive and personalized educational environment.

From the moment we met Marsea and Ruth we felt very comfortable that our son would be in great hands. Marsea and Ruth took exceptional care in structuring his education based on his level of development. Ruth had a great variety of subjects that she would teach all of the kids each week. The kids would be fully engaged in science projects, puzzles, creating art projects and even watching their own caterpillars metamorphosize into butterflies. The kids were always engaged and challenged in new experiences. We and our son truly enjoyed the time he spent at Prodigy Learning Center. Thanks Marsea and Ruth

Virtual school is going really well for us and I'm so thankful that I don't have to tutor our son through this like I am with our daughter.

A little background for those interested in this school: Our son has been a student at the Tempe location for AZ Aspire for the past three years. He has gone from being in really misunderstood, tough, and defiant place when arriving to flourishing both mentally and academically. I'm not saying it was easy on our family or the AZ Aspire staff, as we know it was NOT! I'm absolutely impressed with the teachers understanding and perseverance while caring for our son.

My kid went here last year and everyday I would have to call the office and the principal just to get the teachers to login. When grades came out they didn't give him grades and I am still trying to get the grades 6 months later. 4 out of 5 of his teachers left the school, the principal is gone too, and they can't find any record of his grades. They put him in the wrong grade but won't give him the grades for the courses he took. Now because it's all new people again we can't get his grades because employees can't access grades from before they worked there which includes the registrar. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy. We are still trying to find his grades and because it's a private school the board of education can't help.
