Stephanie is supposed to stay away from my children yet this morning when I drop them off, she waited until she thought I left to go into the same classroom with my children, and then decided to roll her eyes as she walked out the classroom.

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.

We cannot express our gratitude and recommend this center enough. If you have the opportunity to send your child, please know the clean, caring environment is definitely worth it.

I LOVE Learn N' Play. I had just started a new job and needed to find a new daycare for my son, who…read morewas 2 at the time. I came across this place on google, set up a tour, and instantly fell in love. The woman who gave me the tour told me that she used to attend Learn N Play and now worked there..that was a sign..if someone loved it that much, it had to be a great place. My 2 year old went through the 2s, 3s, 4s graduated and now still goes back throughout the week in the school agers class and he loves going there. My youngest started going at 6 weeks old and he is now 3 years old. The teachers are amazing, the staff is wonderful and I feel at ease knowing that my children are someplace safe while I am at work. I recommend this place to anyone I know with young children needing a new daycare.

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.

I toured here a year prior to touring again and enrolling a few months ago. I wish I'd listened to…read moremy gut. Throughout the enrollment process I didn't even realize who the director was because she could hardly answer any questions about facility procedures or regarding my child's food allergy. I actually thought the assistant director was the director since she was the only one who gave me information. More days than not my son was picked up with poop in his diaper, dirty hands and dirty face. I understand they are little kids and there's a lot going on. I didn't want to be that mom so I waited a while to bring it up to admin hoping it would get better. It didn't. I bring it up to the assistant director, she says she'll check in with the teachers. It gets better for a week or so but not consistently. On top of this, the door to the outside toddler playground is left unlocked and cracked with no one out there open multiple times at varying times of day. Each occasion I let a staff member know it was open. At a 630am drop off, it's open. I told a staff member and she replied that "they had a training the previous day and someone must've left it open" not seeming surprised. Concerned that this door was open all night I emailed the director asking if there was a reason for this that I wasn't thinking of. I detailed days and times this previously occurred and who I let know. She responded that this is the first she's hearing about it and she'll address it. Not even two weeks later it happens again. This tells me that she doesn't walk around the building and employees don't bring concerns to her attention. The final straw was coordinating with the director about moving my son to the next room. She thought he would get more attention and better care with the next teacher up. I definitely wanted to do this since his current room was chaos with no consistent lead teacher. Director and I agreed that he would transition for few hours a day for a week and then move up. The week he is supposed to be moved I see notifications from his old room. I call asking what's going on with the room situation. She doesn't know what room he's in, why he didn't go to the new room as he was supposed to etc. just in general no clue about the plan for my son. This was the last straw for me. The next day I grabbed his stuff and went to grab his EpiPens from the medication box where staff showed me it was since there was no one around other than the 2 opening room teachers. It was unlatched and unlocked. I didn't even find my son's EpiPen's in the medication box. Immediately emailed the director saying he wouldn't be returning or fulfilling the two weeks notice because of my documented concerns and to ask where the epi pens were since it wasn't in the box. She said that they had it, but didn't tell me where it was. We did pick up the epi pens but they were clearly not where staff previously told me it was kept. In addition to all this, one day I had my mom pick up my son. I gave her the door code and told her to bring her license. She walked in, the director was in her office with another staff member. They didn't pay her any mind. My mom asked if they needed to check her ID. They hesitated and then the director said "we'll take a look since you have it out." I filed complaints with DSS about the medication box and the door being left unlocked and open multiple times. The investigator called me and said she couldn't cite them for the door being unlocked and open since there's no specific code for that, but recommended I reach out to their district director. I did reach out to the district director who told me the door and medication box had been fixed. Too bad the center couldn't do that all along with my concerns instead of me having to submit complaints with DSS.

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.
