So to start off my child is currenly not in the care of Bright Beginners this review is solely…read morebased upon my experience prior to enrollment. I emailed Bright Beginners on a Tuesday hoping to arrange a visit on the Thursday. The owner and sole employee Eugenia let me know she doesnt allow visitors during the week and would like us to visit on Sunday. I figure fair enough since it is a home daycare center. I did however let her know that I would really like to see how she operates prior to enrolling my child. So I did the first daycare visit bymyself without my husband . The house is a nice size and clean with quite a bit of actvities. The cost is relatively impressive as well in comparison to other centers but it is in someone's home so I kinda expected it to be less expensive. However, I feel I have a few legitimate concerns about this center. 1) The owner and sole employee is I would assume from looks over 55. This was a concern to me because she would be working with small children and if an emergency arises I wasnt sure how those things would be handled in terms of her own health. However she seems to be in relatively good health. 2) The website says she takes 2 year olds but she actually doesnt take kids under 2.5 years. This would have been nice to know in advance to visiting. I let her know my daughters age prior to the visit. I was only instructed of the age requirement once I came home after the visit and received an email...It would have been nice to have been given that info. 3)This Center does not allow you to test out the facility. I am use to centers letting you at least tour the location while they are actively engaged with the children. I understand since this is a home daycare the need to screen people before allowing them around children. However, I think it is really important for parents to get insight into how they operate daily to see if its a fit. I was even willing to pay for the time in order to see how my child interacted still no luck...I understand the reasoning but its still odd. So besides the bulleted points I did not have the best feeling about it, I had my husband visit with me as well on a second occassion to see how he felt (the age was an issue to him), and after receiving the email after our visit in regards to the age requirement even though we were not told through our emails, phone calls and two visits that kind of sealed the deal in terms of this being a NO-GO. This facility has only been open since September 2009 I would have rated it one star but I thought it would have been unfair. The facility is clean, cheap, and in a good neighborhood. It was not a fit for my family but It may be alright for someone else. My daughter is just to precious to me to deal with the uncertainties of this new center its not to say I wont consider it in the future once it is up and running but as of now 2 stars

On a scale of 1-5 I give Bright Beginners a 10!!! My son absolutely loves Eugenia and all of his…read morefriends at his school. He started going to Bright Beginner just after he turned 2 1/2 and began singing the ABCs in the first week. What enticed me to Bright Beginner was the welcoming feeling and the bright colors. All of the traditional preschools and daycares seemed so drab compared to Bright Beginners. I also liked that the cost is affordable and food and potty training is provided. The first week of attending Bright Beginners, I was sent pictures of my son often and received phone calls to ensure he was okay after being dropped off. When something really good happened (such as going potty in the toilet) Eugenia and my son called to let me know right away. Every day, my son has something fun and exciting to share with me. He has been learning so much and really looks up to Eugenia. She is a wonderful person and is great with the kids. It is a very homey and friendly atmosphere, with a strong educational involvement. I feel Jodi's review is a bit premature and unfair. As a parent, I appreciate the fact that Eugenia doesn't have "strangers" coming into her center while other kids are there. I was able to view the facility during the week, just after the operating hours. Plus, if she is spending time showing around other people, how would she be able to watch the children? That is why it makes sense to me that she has people view the place after hours. Eugenia operates her daycare as efficiently and educationally as a preschool. In response to the concerns: Yes, she is the sole owner and operator, but she also has her two responsible, grown children assisting her at times who are great with the kids. My son is currently the youngest of the children, and Bright Beginners is worth waiting out the few months if you can; plus you don't want your just two-year-old being knocked around by 3 and 4 year-olds. The kids are great, but they are kids and a just barely turned 2 year-old will get run over. Eugenia is very good at keeping an eye out for the safety of the children during play time and keeps them very engaged with activities. I will continue to take my son to Bright Beginner as long as we live in the area and have recommended her to all of my friends with children.

I was probably the one troublemaker that soiled the carpets because I couldn't ask my teacher how to use the restroom in English (I'm so sorry!!!!!). No one really taught me and I guess I never learned so my mom was often called in. I was such a pathetic sad girl in the class (as I look at my old classroom picture). I think I was the only Asian girl amongst my Hispanic classmates too! Besides lots of play time, I also remember going to the farm/zoo. I got a plastic cup from it and it had cows. I even milked some cows too! :-) My dad trashed it when I was in 4th to 5th grade after much wear and tear. RIP plastic cup.
