Lessons are taught at their pace and they are challenged to meet their max potential. They are given opportunities to explore their interests with exposure to enrichment activities such as cooking, music, drama and lego engineering. Field trips provide opportunities for education beyond the classroom. In the classroom, they are able to learn with hand on activities. Most importantly my children feel safe and happy with their school family. Staff and parents work together as a team to keep the focus on what is best for the students. I know that my boys have a solid foundation and love for learning that will benefit them in the future thanks to Bright Beginnings.

The owner is just looking to make a quick buck and cares nothing about your child's wellbeing. They…read morewant you to sign a bunch of papers on the spot that have tiny writing telling you that they don't have to teach your kid anything and you can't complain about it. If your child is abused or sexually assaulted you can't sue them and if you pull your child they will force you to pay the rest of the school year. Also they can't give your child any kind of meds. So even if you send your child's life saving meds, they will watch your child die and only call you to come give the meds. Hopefully you make it in time. Beware

the head of school has destroyed much of the positive that there was about this school. the school…read moreboard (specifically the president) does not respond to communication from concerned parents. while the Montessori way is something that is inspiring and what many of this schools parents are searching for, it's not worth the hassle and headache of the harassment and mistreatment for many. we tried to endure it but with the recent heating issues and misinformation from school administrators on the issue, all trust is destroyed in this entire admin. Do not recommend. Not while the head of school is in charge unchecked by the school board.

God forbid anyone say anything truthful about The Great Dallas School District. Teachers are amazing - they are what keeps the school getting great reviews. That being said the response from administration is usually slow if they respond at all. For example with the transportation manager he never returns calls you literally have to call Dr.Duffy first then him to get an answer. There is Parent committee that is not open to all parents not a PTO but a PAC- you can "snail" mail in a form to suggest some ideas. My idea was to put the form on a google doc- so parents can send online and if they want anonymously. I never heard back-maybe someday I will

Some will even show up at 7 and do an hour of review with students. One specific Guidance Councilor, is an amazing woman who goes above and beyond for her students... they don't even have to be assigned to her. She helps every single student that walks in the door. Unlike the old councilor who was fired. One of the best schools in the entire STATE! No exaggeration.

My son has been getting harassed since September.. it's now April and it hasn't fully stopped..they target kids all the time and try to falsely accuse kids if things they are doing..I can say more but I'm saving it for my lawyer..I had it with the school!

I have worked…read morewith administration for years with the high schools and they have an immense amount of programs to suit any child's needs. They go above and beyond to solve problems and there registration, guidance and emotional needs staff goes above and beyond to help. If some of the kids who hate the schools so much would actually get full consequences for their actions they might actually learn something. But the schools do more than the norm to get a child in the right program. Hats off to the staff!!

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! Former staff speaking here!…read moreThe playground there is a black top nightmare. It reminds me of a prison school yard. The kids can take out the toys, but there aren't many options for the small black top yard. The lack of kitchen is another thing. All the food is microwaved and there are no fresh meals except peanut butter sandwiches sometimes. The staff are rude to the children and talk bad about them constantly in front of other children. Some of them play favorites and it shows. Some of the staff are also lazy. Miss Martha would leave an autistic child strapped into a high chair for hours on end just so she didn't have to keep him out of trouble. She would leave him in a soiled diaper all day long, not changing it unless absolutely needed. Then would also send him back to the toddler room so she didn't have to watch him. The toddler room teacher let this boy roam free and just kept an extra close eye on him, which he needed. Another one of the teachers would complete her school work while she was supposed to be monitoring the children. They constantly over ratio the students and the lack of toys and books is disgusting. The toys are kept out of reach of the children and they are not allowed to play with them unless the teacher says. They only have a slim selection of toys as the owner does not want to keep buying them after the kids break them, a typical expense of running a daycare. The books are nonexistent for the same reason. If a child's play breaks anything, she doesn't replace it and leaves no resources for the kids to engage with, constantly getting them in trouble with the teachers for misbehaving due to boredom. And don't even get me started on the lack of care. I witnessed illegal issues and brough it up to the owner only to be ignored after providing the documentation requested. The owner's sister is a joke. She only cooks and never helps with the kids properly. When she does, she's short and rude. Her daughter is also a huge bully to the other students and she tantrums when they don't what she wants to do. The teachers were instructed not to make copies of resources to teach the children. We were told to only print when needed but were expected to keep the children educated and entertained with no resources, educational videos, or worksheets/activities. Some of the staff were very friendly and loved the children like their own, Azra, Pashtoon, and Badriya in particular, but the rest of the staff were short, rude, and cared for only the money. Do not send your child here if you care for them!

I was hoping to…read morefind a drop in childcare similar to what I use in Nashville for doc visits , etc, was glad to find an even better one!! I found Christianchildcares.com, an in home child care that offered drop in services. When visiting with Janet over the phone she invited me to visit so I did...I immediately felt at home and completely at ease with her and the other children. Her home was very clean and orderly with the children happy and well behaved. I was very impressed!! I am a stay at home mother not really because we can afford it but because I have felt by the day care options where I live due to quality interaction and price we cannot afford for me not to stay home...If Janet was available in Nashville I would feel completely at ease leaving my precious girl with her. Janet has a caring, easy, direct way about her that you will much appreciate!! I encourage you to use her services anytime! She offers caring interaction and activities with your child! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to find her while visiting this city! What a blessing!!
