We started our daughter here at 6 months. She left Bright stars each day clean, happy, and with a full belly. We got updates about her day and a lot of pictures. I would highly recommend Bright Stars to anyone looking for a child care center.

We loved our time at Bright Stars! We recently moved out of state, but our 3 year old daughter told us just this morning that Ms. Alisha is her best friend. That was a perfect reminder to me that I had made the right decision in enrolling her at Bright Stars.
- Jennifer Stouffer
Ms. Alisha and her staff are amazing! They make sure the children are taken care of and taught well. The daycare is really clean and the staff keep you updated on how your child is doing through their app. They actually have a curriculum for the different age groups which actually is catered to their age.
- Christopher Robinson
We absolutely LOVE Bright Stars! The atmosphere is amazing and teachers are even better. Each teacher treats each kid like one of their own. My kiddos look forward going here every day and we have grown close bonds with each teacher. The curriculum is one of the best around and has helped my kiddos in so many ways. I could go on and on about how outstanding this center is.
- Mallory White
Amazing childcare center. My stepdaughter attended this daycare and she absolutely loved it. The range of subjects she learnt was outstanding. At 4 years old she could tell me the order of the planets and about volcanoes. She still talks about the daycare now, wishing she could go back! My 8 month old daughter now goes to Bright Stars and I wouldn't trust her with anyone else! The staff are so warm and caring, they feel like family!
- Aimee Brim
Both of my children attend the center and they look forward to being there each day. I appreciate that the teachers are all patient and kind. It makes it that much easier to leave them there knowing my kids are in good hands. They make sure the center is cleaned regularly and are conscious about covid precautions which is something we appreciate greatly. My son especially loves his teachers, friends, and special days like music class
- Tara Morello
As first-time parents they make us feel so comfortable and safe with leaving our child there. They are always available to answer questions and keep us updated throughout the day with pictures and notes saying how our child is doing (: Not only does our child look forward to going every day but we look forward to seeing the teachers and saying hello as well!
- Ivy VerValen
The teachers know all the children by their 1st name and play an active role in their lives. It truly is a family-type atmosphere. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for EXCELLENT child care and the development of their child/children. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Thank you BRIGHT STARS!
