When CPS did their interview with me, they advised me it sounded like a lie and closed the case. The things that were said were very inappropriate and very Discriminative and out right racist. Just because I am a person of color doesn't give no one the right to Lie on me. This is a safety issue especially of what's going on today with ICE I would not recommend anyone of color attending this place of business. When I would pick my baby up from the daycare he would always be on the floor with no cover screaming crying. He was definitely being treated different. And it's sad cause it's a baby an innocent child. It doesn't even matter that I am American my rights are still being ignored.

Extremely disappointed…read more Unprofessional staff (except one) 1) they never greet or acknowledge you when you enter their facility (only one Miss Kelly was great). 2) Seen a staff cover a screaming child with a blanket. 3)forgot to pick up my son from school. Received a phone call from his school with him terrified and crying! 4)poor communication (didn't receive a call from the director about her daycare forgetting to pick up my son until she figured I was removing my son from the program) Required a notice and did not refund my money for the reminder of the month even thought the circumstances put my sons safety at risk. A parent should not have to give notice when the staff show their incompetence to manage their staff or facility safely. CONTRACT OR NOT! Child safety first. So no... I do not recommend Bright Beginnings. EVER. Just be aware if you choose this agency.

The teachers are patient and attentive, and I know they'll continue to help him develop at his own pace. I'm grateful for the positive and caring environment they've created for my little one! Its been 3 weeks only but a good 3 weeks, knock-on the wood. I will be soon back with updates when he starts enjoying the meal time and class activities with their support.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

Our son started at Montessori School of Brentwood on his second birthday, and almost a year and a…read morehalf later, we could not be more grateful for his experience. From the beginning, Ms. Sharon and Ms. Aariah have made learning fun and exciting. At just 3 years old, he comes home teaching us American Sign Language and counting in both English and Spanish. It is amazing to see how much he is absorbing and how proud he is to share it. He enjoys his time in daycare with Ms. Lisa and always looks forward to his mornings with Ms. Amy. The consistency and care from each teacher make such a difference in helping him feel comfortable and supported. The teacher aides and support staff are always very warm, caring, and attentive. Whether it is a quick greeting at drop-off or helping the children through their daily routines, they create such a calm and positive atmosphere. As he prepares to graduate to the next age group, I asked him which class he would like to move into next. His immediate response was, very matter-of-factly, "Ms. Sharon. That is MY class." Then he began listing everyone's names because he truly loves them all. Ms. Shaku's leadership and dedication to building a strong community for both the children and parents are clear. Her focus on creating a positive environment where kids can thrive is deeply appreciated. Montessori School of Brentwood has been such a special part of our lives. We are so thankful for everything the staff has done to help our child grow with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

They kicked my grandson to the curb because of "corporate pressure" to cut expenses and will no longer pick him up from his school. He's gone to this center since he was 3 1/2 years old - 4 years of taking tuition money from me, and his parent and subsidy money from CC County. Their solution was to have my grandson change his school! This is NOT "serving the families of the community". This is serving corporate's profit margins. The solution is NOT to tell the family to accommodate them and completely disrupt a child's education in order for them to decrease their expenses. "Is KinderCare's $1.4 billion in debt a problem?

My daughter has been at Dainty for over a year and loved every minute of it! I couldn't be happier…read morewith our experience at this school. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, respect, and genuine care the staff has for each child. The classrooms are beautifully organized, calm, and filled with engaging materials that spark curiosity and independence. From Ms. Deb, to Ms. Cindy, to Ms. Ghazal, to Ms. Alyssa, to Ms. Gloria-- everyone has become like family to us! Most importantly, my child feels safe! With the Playground app, teachers and parents can communicate and receive regular updates about my child's day. The sense of community is strong, and we always feel welcomed and supported. If you're looking for a nurturing, inspiring place where children learn through hands-on experience and develop a lifelong love of learning, I highly recommend Dainty.

Dainty Montessori has honestly been the best choice we've made. Our toddler was at another school…read morefor a few months before we found Dainty, and she cried at every single drop-off and pick-up. I was nervous about switching things up on a two-year-old, but the moment we toured with Ms. Deb, I felt so much better. She's the director, and her cheerful, positive vibe is something the kids really pick up on. She made both our daughter and us feel totally at ease right away. To my surprise--and honestly, my immense gratitude--our daughter has never cried at drop-off at Dainty. The only tears we see are tiny pouts at pick-up because she doesn't want to leave. She truly never wants to miss a day. She started at 2.5 in the Butterfly room with Ms. Cindy and Ms. Ghazal, who were both amazing and taught her so much. The environment is safe, friendly, and full of teachers who leave the kind of impression that sticks with a child for life. We had a few little transition hiccups early on, but Ms. Deb handled everything quickly and thoughtfully. Now my daughter is with Ms. Alyssa and comes home excited to share whatever new thing she learned that day. The teachers all support each other, too, and she has a great connection with Ms. Liiana, who teaches the next age group up. Whenever someone hears that my three-year-old is "in school," they assume it's just a daycare. But Dainty is so much more than that--it's a truly remarkable school with an incredible staff. They put so much time and effort into every event and holiday. The kids have a blast, and honestly, so do the parents.

I enrolled my two boys , 4 years old and 1 years old into Goddard about a 5 months ago. In the…read morebeginning everything was ok. I really didn't feel a warm and comfortable welcome the first day that I dropped my toddler off. As for the Pre K class there was lots of stimulation and structure for PreK students. However, as time went on I would have a hard time feeling that all of the students needs were being met , especially mine. I was told my toddler was unfit for care for biting at 16 months old. This is something majority of 1 year olds do at their age. Age appropriate. Not that I condone it or that I think that it's ok , but at this age it's a challenge when your toddler doesn't not know how to quite communicate yet or express emotions. Also, during the first 5 years, young children are learning how to identify and respond to strong emotions, play and get along with other children, and respond to adults. Young children need adults who feel prepared to teach and handle these important social and emotional skills. They also need adults who can respond to and help prevent challenging behavior. Along with proper knowledge and communication to reassure parents about age appropriate behaviors. There seemed to be a lack of diligence to really take care and teach these children who are coming into the school. Every family / child is different so it's all situational , this so happens to be mine. Things seemed to be very loosely ran, a high turnover of teachers I noticed . It would be hard for me to pick out the lead teacher in the classroom. In the end it seems like a money pit but do your own in person observing and research. I wish it would've worked out but I highly recommended doing a couple sit ins before you start giving them your money. I personally didn't find it professional the way Geetha and Katherine went about the discipline and communication of biting for a 1 yr. old, Geetha said "people are paying good money here and their child shouldn't be bitten". Understandable, but is that how we're going to communicate that ?! I suggested maybe that there were too many toddlers for the ratio of teachers. I didn't get too much reassurance there . Now that my toddler is at a new daycare center , they are aware that he is at a stage of "biting", and they are very much keeping an extra eye on him . I've felt more comfortable because the way that the teachers engage with the toddlers here is much more different than Goddard. I have also been reassured that biting is "age appropriate" and that's why they have put extra help in the toddler class to keep an extra eye on these little kiddos. I'm thankful for that . It's also a bigger space for toddlers than Goddard and I was also reassured that they have added extra toys and such so the toddlers have more of a variety of things to play with and explore , so that they are not easily fighting over a toy or such. Like I said do your due diligence of research and maybe a few sit ins at Goddard if possible before you choose and spend.
