    My husband and I have 3 kids whom have all attended Bright Beginnings over the course of the last 6…read moreyears. When my oldest started here they were a private, non-licensed daycare. Over the years we have watched them develop as our family grew, somehow managing to keep their private feel but have the safety and security of a fully functional licensed daycare. I can't say enough about each program they have for each age group as I have had children in each one of them. All three of my babies have gone through the nursery here. The providers are absolutely in a league of their own. They have always loved my children so much, with a kind of care that I have not seen in any other daycare. The two and three-year-old classroom runs like a well oiled machine and my children have always enjoyed being there. We have seen teachers come go and have always loved every single one of them and so have my kids. The preschool age and school-ager classrooms are equally as great. Ms. Chris has been there for quite some time and my oldest has always adored her. He can't wait to see her and she has always genuinely cared and loved on my kids. As Bright Beginnings has grown they have started to include field trips and outings for the older kids that my oldest absolutely loves. They are well thought out and well executed. My husband is a police officer and I am a firefighter/paramedic. Bright Beginings has always been so cooperative and understanding with our hectic schedules. It is a blessing that we have always had a place where we could rest assured that our children are well cared for. They have always respected my husband and I as our children's parents and have listened to any concerns we had. The staff at Bright Beginings are whole-heartedly in their line of business for the children. I can't recommend and thank them enough, for it not for them my husband and I would not have been able to carry-on our careers and grow such an amazing family.

    If you want a daycare that really cares about your kids, this is the place. They have gone above…read moreand beyond to accommodate my children and I will be forever thankful! My kids can't wait to get here EVERY morning! Great work BB staff!

    How I know I picked the right place 1. My daughter talks…read moreabout her teachers on the weekend and often says things like "gentle touches" when she pets our cat 2. My son needs to say goodbye and hug the director and secretaries daily 3. My daughter pats her babies backs the same way her teachers pat the children at nap time 4. When my children are sick they call to check on them 5. They make every holiday special 6. They treat us like family 7. My children are happy to go to school each day 8. I am constantly surprised with things they know like when my daughter started saying blessing or son started saying the pledge. 9. I am invited to lunch, parties, outside time, programs and much more 10. My children are loved......................I could give you 100 more reasons. LOVE THESE LADIES!!! I don't know which facility Krystal L went to but it clearly isn't what we see here everyday with children other than our own.

    My children went to the Leeland Station location for nearly 3 years. Over that time, there were…read moreNUMEROUS instances of negligent behavior including specifically an assistant putting her hands on my child's neck to redirect him, leaving claw marks from her long nails (no video evidence and my son wasnt old enough to explain well plus no other adult saw ... so oh well nothing they could do). Moved his room and the next teacher, though nice, missed him going out to the playground and left him there crying and reaching through the gate. They claim it was a few minutes but he was so upset it took a long time for him to calm down - that was more than a few minutes and another teacher was the one to notice him. There are constantly new, untrained assistants rotating around and they arent observant. My son was assaulted and violated in the room out in the open and no one helped him. Police report, hospital visit and cps involved but because it was a child there wasnt much they could do. No exact date to figure out which adult and they dont record the videos anyway. That is their way out of everything. Sons were pulled immediately but it is so disturbing that when you reach out about such serious things you are dismissed by the director and assistant director. They are good friends with the person in licensing who claims they dont have a violation for that or no way to prove this... its all a big run around and no one is really looking out for your babies except for the few amazing teachers that are too good for that place. Oh and an added awful detail - they (directors) forged my signature on my sons medical document they redid. The few good qualities do not come close to having your child neglected and traumatized. My oldest had a great experience, but my youngest literally has a standing appt for therapy through the county after they heard his video account of the last incident. That trauma was 100% preventable with decent supervision and they should be ashamed of themselves for not doing more to prevent these instances before they happen. Every concern was brushed off and no matter what route I went I was known as being a pain to deal with instead of an educator and parent bringing issues to the forefront before something awful happens. LLE is their management group and clearly not correcting things from the top down. Be careful when enrolling your kids around the area - MANY daycares in the area are also LLE and ran/trained by the same people. There are better options. The violations on the DSS website do not reflect all of this - they find ways to not get the violations or it falls in a gray area with no evidence. Dont just use those in your research - reviews matter! Best of luck finding a good fit for your little one. Like I said, we had one good experience and one traumatic one - are you willing to roll the dice? I wouldnt risk it.

    My four children currently attend Creative Childcare. This is a great place and my children seem to…read morelove it. They do loads of arts and crafts for all of my children even my youngest. My oldest gets to go to awesome places and is so happy when I pick him up. I love the teachers! They always have reports ready for me and let me know when I need to bring something the next day. The owner is great. She greets us when we drop off the children and makes sure that we have everything we need and all of our children are super happy all the time. They all get little stickers or treats from the director when they have had a great day and did all of their work. Love this place, couldn't expect better from anywhere.

    When my husband and I finally found the Harrison Road Creative Childcare Academy we were thrilled…read morebecause we had been looking for a family oriented day care center for our son for a while after having him attend some other local places that we just didn't think were a fit. At Creative Childcare the owners and staff make all the difference because it feels like one big family. Mr. and Mrs. B have done a great job in making sure that the children are having fun while they are learning in a loving atmosphere. What sets them apart is their genuine commitment to our son. They also have extra activities for him like cooking classes and music classes that they don't charge for. Our son talks about his new adventures all the time. It's so important for my husband and me to feel that our son is safe and loved, and at Creative Childcare we know he is. We have also popped in on some days that one of us gets off work early and we are always greeted warmly and are pleased to see that our son is actively doing something with other children. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. B and their staff for setting a new standard for day care in the area. It's the family place we have been looking for and we plan to spread the word so that others can know that there is such a place in our area.
