Our daughter started here at 2.5 and will stay until kindergarten. We were on a wait list for a place closer to home, but turned down the opening (when it became available) because bright start is such a fantastic environment for our child. Not only is she learning well (she could recognize numbers and letters at age 3 and doing light reading at 4), but she has a ton of confidence and ability to share which I attribute to the caring, and demonstrably loving environment. Some folks complain about food options (typical kid meals like chicken nuggets) but theyre always accompanied with fruit and veggies, and you have option to BYO. Most important she has a love for learning and is always excited to go to school. Couldnt ask for more than that.
