Rise & Shine

"Rise and Shine (formerly Bright Sparks). I have nothing but appreciation for the wonderful teachers and staff at Rise and Shine. The children are loved and cared for. My son is thriving because of the hard working teachers and staff."

"My 5-year old graduated from Bright Sparks May 2019. She has spent one wonderful year at Bright Sparks Childcare. We were lucky enough to have great teachers. They are very attentive and involved & they have all been very caring, understanding and considerate from parents perspective. Children are the most honest reviewers though not in writing: they will love whoever loves them. My daughter always told me positive things about her school & she learned a lot from her teachers. I'd like to say “thank you” to these best teachers & management who devote themselves to shaping little minds."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you to Bright Sparks. Like most parents we were very anxious leaving our son in a new daycare. But Bright Sparks have STORYPARK!!! Where you Capture a key Milestone in your child's development. And that is VERY, VERY, IMPORTANT to us as parents. You are able to log in and see what your child is doing and how they are progressing while you are at work! So Parents/Caregivers what are waiting for come and visit the Bright Sparks Team. You won't be disappointed!!! So I am going to share just a little bit about the teachers in the Stella Room as this is my sons room. This will give you an indication on what these teachers are really like. The Teachers in Stella room are AMAZING!! Maria the Head Teacher was very warm and inviting. Very passionate about providing the best quality education and care for our children. Then there is Brenda she is so wonderful and so bubbly and the kids love her. She dresses up in costumes makes the kids want to be her like her. Her passion for the children is amazing she is full of energy very active teacher. Then we have Desley and Rose and Danielle amazing teachers they have lot of patience for our children. They are kind and loving. Highly professional and trained staff. These teachers definitely model positive values, that is always evident when reflecting with our son on a daily basis.

"I have 4 children - 3 have gone through all the kindergarten stage and my 4th is almost 3. As you can imagine, I have been into and part of many preschools over the years and Bright Sparks Mangere is definitely the best! The teachers love the children and actually get down to their level. And they are really awesome to us parents too! My daughter has been at Bright Sparks since she was 3.5 months old and she has flourished the entire time! I cannot thank you guys enough!"

"My two children have been attending Bright Sparks Childcare in Mangere for 8 years. We live out West but work out South. Never once have I thought about putting my children in care closer to home. They have both flourished in this supportive family environment. The teachers are caring, kind and so welcoming to all children. They celebrate all cultures and I love that my 4 year old can tell me about so many different traditions in different cultures. Time and time again I have seen the teachers at Bright Sparks give each child a piece of themselves. It is a true testament to an amazing Childcare when your children are excited to attend everyday. Thank you Bright Sparks for making our lives as working parents so much easier, knowing that our children are in the best place possible."
