My children were constantly sick, it was disorganized, they couldn't follow directions about my children. My son was bitten and NO ONE told me about it until I asked what happened. Also, the camera system network was overloaded and had serious blind spots that the teachers would hang out in. Even though we are no longer with them I can still access it which says a lot about their security. I probably would have just parted ways and quietly went on our way, my son did learn some things there and did make some friends. However, they informed me two weeks after we left and over two months after the fact that I had missed a payment. The owner refused to return any phone calls to my husband on the matter and they sent it to collections adding over $100 in additional fees to the original balance. After I found the receipt for the week in question they supposedly rectified it with the collection people however they had previously told my husband they couldn't do anything about it once it was in collections. So we can just add lying and misdirection to the heap. No one has offered an apology and instead of addressing my complaints they just deleted my review on Facebook. Both of which would have gone a long way in rectifying this situation and leaving my husband and I with a more complacent view of them.

When ever we got a new student it would take a few weeks for the children to adjust. Most times the children would need a little extra attention extra hugs and a little extra patience on our end. I enrolled my daughter on Sept 27th keep in mind my daughter is one and never been enrolled in day care before. She is also stand offish and may not eat the food that a new person is offering. This is also normal for a new child entering daycare. Fast forward to her SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL, i receive a text at 2pm (5 hours after I've dropped her off) stating my daughter has refused all food and they would like to discuss some concerns about Kiyomi. I immediately had up to the school because ain't no way you waited until 2pm to tell me she hasn't eaten. When I come through the door i hear my daughter crying and she is being changed on Breyanna clarks lap and not a changing table. It's 2pm and the kids are in the main room still laying down for nap. I was told nap time was 12-1. There is another little baby sitting in a high chair in the hall way just staring blankly no one paying him any mind. When i dropped her off at 9pm this same baby was in the high chair. Now Mrs. Clark is telling me how she runs a strict structure and how she can't let one child throw off the structure of her class (referring to Kiyomi). How she doesn't respond to her name, not even YOMI ( thats is not her nickname her nickname is YoYo she could've found this out in her profile), how she is refusing to eat, and she scared and begins to cry when ever she hears a loud noise when ever some toys drop or something. She proceeds to also tell me that she can't pick her up all day and baby her because she don't want the other kids to feel like she is getting favortism. She tells me that if she comes back tomorrow and is not basically doing what she want her to do in 3 DAYS OF EVER BEING IN DAYCARE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO TERMINATE CONTRACT. I WITHDREW HER THAT DAY. The tone of the conversation was off there was no plan of action set into place just a whole lot of I can'ts and insinuation that there was something wrong with my child. In all my years of education I would've never set a parent down in that manner let alone not alerted her of her child not eating sooner so said parent would have an opportunity to come to the school and help or try to give the child something to eat. Furthermore, when it comes to the food she is feeding these babies she does not prepare meals daily she gave my daughter some damn bananas and lil bite muffins for breakfast and a damn fruit cup for lunch I prepare my daughter 3 fresh meals daily with snacks in between she not go eat all that processed shit to begin with and where is the PROTEIN no meat no nothing! This lady looked me In the face and told me she can't jeopardize the structure of her class and if Yo doesn't acclimate by tomorrow we will have to terminate contract. Told her ass you can terminate the shit today because obviously you don't give a fuck about nothing but a check.you haven't even had for two days and this lady insinuating my child is on the spectrum because she's crying and refusing the processed ass food she's providing. I was already on the fence about putting her in someone else care because i know the way i take care of my child could never compare to some HALF ASS GLORIFIED BABYSITTER!

This daycare used to be a great facility before the COVID lockdown last year. They were in a…read moredifferent building. The rooms were bright and organized. They had great teachers. The parents were updated all the time on the Brightwheel app. I received regular updates about how they were doing. When everything closed last spring, Bright Beginners moved to a new location a few buildings away. Their "dream" seemed to be to open a whole bunch of classrooms (instead of two) so kids can spend more time with children their age on their own level, which is a great goal. Unfortunately, starting with this move, everything unraveled. The building isn't great. The rooms are small and dark. Many don't have windows. Only two were being used: 1-2 year olds and 3-5 year olds. Instead of keeping their website updated, as teachers quit (and a lot of them were unhappy with the lack of leadership and communication), their images still remained on the website. No one's profiles were updated. No new teachers have their credentials listed, or even their pictures. Teachers appeared and vanished and the parents had no idea who they were. Then, the schedules disappeared from the website. The website has pictures from 3 years ago. Not only is the website outdated and incomplete, most teachers stopped using the Brightwheel app to communicate with parents. We used to get videos and pictures throughout the day. After the move to the new building, I would be lucky to see one picture of my son in a week. When I would ask how he was doing, I was usually told by the teacher, "I don't know, I wasn't with him today." No progress reports. No information. His clothing started vanishing. He came home wearing another child's underwear. What's worse, is the staff seems to have the hardest time wearing masks. We know it's the easiest way to prevent COVID and yet, some keep their masks on their chins. Some under their noses. Some not on at all. When you ask the teachers about COVID, most state it's not a big deal or "assume" they already had it. They seem unaware that having it once does not make you immune, and they also don't realize that they can easily be carriers without symptoms. Then the pull their masks down and breathe all over our children. The center is more concerned with "ratio" than they are about the well being of the children. Instead of keeping rooms open, children of all ages are combined so they can have as few teachers as possible at the center. Never mind the fact that they're overwhelmed and the kids are having a hard time adapting to new rooms at random as well as other children, all they care about is not having one extra teacher there for one hour because they would probably have to pay her $10 for her time. As a former elementary school teacher, I assure you in school they still teach that children, especially young children, thrive from routine. This center has no problem shuffling children around and confusing them as long as they don't need to pay one more teacher for one more hour. When they did have COVID scares (and they did), they were forced to close the entire center because of the insane amount of mixing they do with teachers and students. Also, you will never see the director or assistant director unless you show up during the day. Most parents bring their children to daycare because they work, meaning the children will be dropped off before work and picked up afterward. The director and assistant director make zero effort to ever come in early or stay late (which means their teachers are responsible for opening and closing the center and addressing issues) which shows you how little they actually care. Shortly before I switched daycares (my son no longer goes here but I did want to write a review to warn other parents), the center started a newsletter which I thought was a great idea. However, it's not filled with any content. I didn't know what concepts or information I should be going over with my son. Knowing he's learning about "the letter B" isn't helpful: he's known that letter for 3 years. I thought Preschool actually meant the children would be learning. A coloring page? How about the center informs you IN ADVANCED of the days it will be closed in case we don't keep our handbooks open on our kitchen tables. How about it informs us of new policies and procedures at the center? How about future improvement they can make to the center? Perhaps information about how to obtain a progress report? What improvements, you ask? Perhaps label the 20 doors in your hallway so we know which one is the kitchen, which one is the bathroom, which one is the preschool room... Or replace your mud pit with sod so when the children come home from playing outside on a damp day we don't have to throw away their entire wardrobe? Perhaps invest in a sign on both of your doors so people actually know this is a daycare? I used to love this place. It's very sad what happened.
