My son attends Faith Lutheran School and absolutely loves it! In the past he tried attending other…read moreschools but problems with the education always crept up: either too low/simple level of education, or the classroom teacher had difficulties managing the class, or the coursework failed to keep my son engaged. All of these were fixed when we finally arrived here - it is by far the best education we've seen in the area and with the kindest teachers he has encountered. You should definitely check out Faith Lutheran School if you want your child to experience excellent instruction in a caring and loving environment!

We've brought our 2 kids to Starbright for a couple of years now from ages 2 through 5. Do not let…read morethe neighborhood mislead you.. this place is excellent. Experienced teachers that build relationships with your kids and as parent I get a ton out of chatting with teachers at pick-up. Not ONCE have we had a weird/bad experience. There are many folks here that have been a very positive/constructive influence for our kids over the years and I wouldn't limit the 5 stars to one particular classroom or teacher. Starbright also strives to stay open even when ASD closes for remote learning days which is super helpful with little ones. We are extremely happy that we decided to enroll our eldest in Missy's kindergarten class here. She is one of those rare teachers folks use in those password hints "what was name of your favorite teacher in your whole life?" Also Starbright is recently under new ownership and after experiencing both the old and the new, I can say they haven't lost a beat. The new owner/director (also) Missy is awesome. Bring your kids to Starbright and upgrade your life.

I trust sunflower with my child 100. one of the things I appreciate the most is they started to check the weather situation the morning of and do stay open of the weather is safe. before they strictly followed ASD closures, as a single working mother I am so grateful and thankful for them.

I love this daycare and the staff. My baby was at Imagination Station for over a year and we had a…read morelot of issues and there seemed to be quite a bit of staff turn around. My baby would get shuffled from room to room, teacher to teacher and her clothes, coat etc. would be elsewhere in the facility. It was like hide-and-go-seek every night when I picked her up.......first find the child and then the outerwear. When I come to pick my baby up here she is in the same place as I left her and her belongings are in her cubby in the same room, what a concept!!! :) Sunflower is great with my baby she has no rashes and doesn't seem to go through half the diapers and wipes Imagination did (with rashes). I have not noticed staff turn around here. She goes to the same room and has the same teachers every day. The class room size is smaller and she is learning quite a bit here already to include they are helping greatly with potty training. She doesn't cry or cling to me when I drop her off, and goes right to playing. She wants to be there, that in it's self speaks a thousand words!!! She has not been bitten or hurt by another child since shes been here nor has she been so "clumsy" that she has bruises from the knees down constantly and that seemed to be the weekly norm at IS. My one and only concern is the front door. I have had nightmares that my baby gets out and heads towards Boniface Pkw. She is 2 and does not know or understand the dangers of the street yet.....nor would one at her age heed them if she did....curiosity is a strange, exciting thing for children but it is a real fear for me just the same. There is a gate at her room doorway which most the kids know how to open and all it takes is a few seconds to go out then get to that outer door and push the handle and out she goes headed straight for Boniface and traffic going faster than 40MPH. A secondary security measure at that front door would definitely put my mind at ease. All in all I am not going to deduct a star for the door issue and my possible overactive imagination or fears as the daycare is an awesome place for her to be on a daily basis. I am so happy that she is happy there and that she is properly cared for. I would recommend this daycare to anyone.

I cannot recommend this place, especially for after-school programs. It is run by two sisters who…read moreseem more focused on increasing revenue than on providing quality care or education. Teachers are reportedly underpaid while parents are overcharged, and class sizes are much larger than what is promised. Despite assurances about small groups, they continue to enroll more students than they can reasonably accommodate. Communication with parents is also an issue - the administration can be quite rude and unprofessional when handling concerns or conflicts. After several years of my child attending both the preschool and after-school programs, their level of Spanish was far below expectations. This is not surprising, given that children spend much of their time playing in the gym rather than engaging in structured Spanish learning, and that the overcrowded classes make meaningful instruction nearly impossible.
