When we started at Starbright my daughter was 2-1/2. My son was 5-1/2 and it was the summer before first grade, so he never attended kindergarten there, but I wish he had, because they have a really nice program. He did the summer programs, and hes always attended Starbrights before and after school programs during the school year. The summer program for the older school-age kids is really great, a lot different than other day cares where they just sit in a big room with mixed-aged kids and get bored and pick up bad habits. At Starbright they go on educational field trips all the time - to the aquarium, the Museum of Flight. He had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Ive worked in child care and Ive always worked at the day cares that my kids have gone to, because I want to know the people who are watching them. Ive fallen in love with every teacher that Ive met at Starbright. They take the time to get to know me and my kids, which is important. Theyre so inviting. Im comfortable with them. All the teachers have degrees in early childhood education or have a future in education. The standards are really high. Not only does Starbright have high standards for the teachers, but for the kids as well. Starbrights lunch program stands out. A real cook prepares lunch. Every day before lunch shes in there preparing. She prepares fresh fruits and vegetables and she cooks. Most day cares open a couple cans and heat it up. I have moved twice since my kids have been at Starbright, and I make sure that I dont move far, so my kids dont have to move. My son changed schools, but I first made sure it was a school that Starbright accepts for the before and after school program. I would never go far from Starbright.

Our son has been attending here for the past 5-6 months, and loves every day when he attends. The staff and facility are both outstanding and provide daily nurturing for our son to grow into himself and learn new things. When we take him into his new class he doesnt even want to say goodbye like he used to with big hugs, but is always anxious to start interacting with his fellow classmates and teachers. Also, when we are picking him up he hardly wants to leave, and is always asking to stay for a few more minutes for activities. The staff is all certified or going through certification classes, and never brings down a child, but more talks to them to better help them understand when things are done wrong, and gives praises when children do things correctly. The structure is that of a day school with different programs/learning stations to help children develop their fine motor skills. The meals that are provided are nutritous and quite good (from personal experience of eating lunch with my son twice now at the learning center). I would not hesitate to place my children in the center, and highly recommend it to friends. Our son was in another daycare before hand, and the structure there was nothing compared to Starbright, and we are thankful that we found Starbright to help our son develop into his bubbly outgoing personality that he already has at such a young age.

Prior to enrolling my then 11 month old here I visited at least 20 day cares (home and commercial). Prior to that my friend babysat him and I had a hard time putting him in a formal daycare. Starbright was the ONLY daycare that I felt comfortable putting him into, the staff have my full trust with my son. He is so happy to be there with the staff and other kids, he gets to experience so many different activities and learns so much. I have another son that attends the before and after school program as well. Although he is only their for a short period they have gone out of their way to make him feel comfortable and open up to them. They help him with his homework every day after school, even getting creative and using things in the classroom to help him when he is not understanding. These people have degrees in early child development and other areas and this shows in the care they provide my sons. They are educated, responsible people that want the best for my children. They are not just their for a paycheck - they actually enjoy my sons and want to help them grow and succeed. Every morning all three of us are greeted with happy smiles and they are made to feel like they belongs, like they are special - not just another kid at the daycare. I would not want my sons anywhere else but here! Thanks for being so wonderful Star bright!

We are very thrilled to have our son in the Sparkles (approx 14-24mos) classroom at Starbright!! We previously were taking him to another daycare and were very uphappy with the level of attention and engagement our son recieved among many other things. After his first day at Starbright it was clear how much more engaging and attentive they were for little minds that love structure, routine, and creative engagement. We had a few special concerns with our son which had to do with him refusing to eat at the previous daycare and taking very poor naps and generally not doing well there. The folks at Starbright were very patient with us and him and have responded fabulously to our sons needs. And specifically to the ConcerenedMom review below - we have for a variety of reasons stopped in at odd times to pick up our son without any notice to the daycare. I have never witnessed anything that was disturbing or unsafe. Often we like to stand back out of his line of sight to just watch him play and interact with the teachers and the kids - it is so fun to watch them playing outside or doing the dance lessons, etc. In fact, the mid-day stop-ins usually result in our son showing us some defiance in not wanting to leave because he is having so much fun taking part in the activities.

My children have attended Starbright since 2007. Now my youngest child has been attending for about a year. I have had children in every single classroom at Starbright over the course of the last 5 years, including the part time preschool and the full time Kindergarten. Without a doubt this is the best daycare I have ever taken my children to. Before Starbright I had my oldest child in both in-home daycares and 2 different centers. Starbright is not only better cost wise, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. Communication is outstanding and the connections my children have made with their caregivers there is long lasting. Their infant caregivers are top notch, the full time Kindergarten prepared my child far beyond what the public school couldve given her, and the other classrooms have a substantial amount of toys and activities to keep the kids busy and learning at all times. Recently they just acquired an extra suite in the building they are in that is a great inside play area. I am looking forward to having my youngest child spend her next 5 years here. Jen and Dr. Kim are great owner/administrators and make this daycare operate the best they can. I truly am lucky to have found Starbright Early Learning Center for my children.

I had my child here for 1 day when the director called after only a few hours to ask me to pick him up. Also stated he could not come back tomorrow. After 1 day the director decided that my child was more than they could handle. I had explained that my son came from a center that had no structure and was one of the reasons we left. She was not willing to work through this. I offered to spend a couple days there with him (take time off work and help settle him in). This was refused by the director stating they did not have the ability to work with him. All because he did not want to participate in the group activities and would act out when they tried to get him to. For a center that talked so much about guiding the kids and working through the difficulties they sure did not give it much of a chance. only 2 hours!!! To add to this.. after the director saw this review, she felt it necessary to bad mouth me to my husband. Explaining that people like me make her wonder why she puts herself on the line and make her want to quit her job.
