It was the BEST experience and I highly recommend Bright Beginnings Preschool! There are too many great things about the school, here are a few of my favorite things: 1. The teachers are fantastic (we had Miss Kathy and Miss Sinan)! Each room has a lead teacher and a co-teacher and we just love both of my kid's teachers so much!! They are a perfect team and so wonderful with the kids and seem to care about them so much. 2. They have a fabulous fenced play area with grass and playground equipment. They also have a huge indoor play space for days when it's too cold or wet to play outside. 3. They do the best art projects, and even made lovely mother's day and father's day and Christmas presents for us. 4. They had the most adorable Christmas program, as well as a "donuts with dad" program on a morning in January and a "muffins with mom" program on a morning in May. These programs were way too cute....just adorable! They are such special memories for us. They even had the most adorable evening graduation for the pre-K kids. 5. The school facility is light and bright and feels either newish or renovated. The classrooms are all nice and big and lovely, and have a private bathroom attached. 6. My kiddo learned so much (she now knows her uppercase and lower case letters, can count to 100, knows all the colors, and knows the 7 or 8 most common shapes) and is beyond ready and excited for kindergarten in the fall! I found out about Bright Beginnings through recommendations from a local mom's group and then through my own research, including campus tours of Bright Beginnings and two other local preschools, I found Bright Beginnings to be the easy winner. And we just totally loved it, so much that I want to spread the word in case anyone else is looking for an amazing preschool program for their kiddo!

For those seeking to pursue a Christian education for your child/ren, you are the reason that I am…read morewriting this review. We have had children enrolled in Cornerstone (CCA) for the last 18 years. Until about ten years ago, the school was under the headship of Crossroads Community Church. The school had a healthy "family" feel whether talking with teachers, walking into the office, or strolling through campus. Biblical principles were integrated into the curriculum, and overall, students were respectful and well-behaved both in and out of the classroom. When CCA and Crossroads Community Church opted to part ways, we became acutely aware of a shift in culture as the school walked through ongoing changes in location, staff, and leadership. In our personal experience, the "family feel" and overall healthy culture has steadily degraded over the last several years. Our children have described a decline in the amount of Biblical integration occurring in the classroom and the amount of disrespectful and inappropriate behaviors that they have been exposed to on a daily basis in the classroom caused them to feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Over the last school year, it became evident that specific threats to student safety, destruction of school property, and severe bullying amongst students seem to be handled internally without the involvement of law enforcement or communication with teachers or parents. In discussions about this, we were advised that threats of violence are pretty commonplace nowadays in the public school arena. My question is - should we not expect more when choosing to have our children educated in a Christ-centered environment? I appreciate the vision of current leadership at CCA. I think that their hearts for children and their desire to serve the Lord are genuine. However, from our family's personal experience, their vision and hope for what CCA should be is not what is being experienced where the "boots hit the ground" in the classroom.

Being Montessori based, the school focuses on the whole child, which after years of attending public schools has allowed my boys to again love learning. The teachers pay close attention to what makes my children "tick" and the space to make their own discoveries. In doing so, the teachers are giving them the skills to be hard working innovative thinkers in a collaborative environment while still incorporating the state education standards. This school is what school is should be.
