Reviews
"Could not be happier to have our baby at Brighter Babies. We know our child is so well cared for by thoughtful teachers and staff. We get weekly emails of updates and app updates daily with photos, videos and status of our child's day. Could not imagine a better and happier place for our daughter to build new relationships and grow."
"We can't say enough good things about our experience at Brighter Babies. The teachers, staff, and curriculum are best in class. The teachers our baby had were so wonderful they instantly felt like part of the family. The staff is on the ball, organized and friendly. Our baby thrived in their care, instantly bonded with the teachers, and was always smiling. The app the center got for the parents last year was amazing and it was wonderful to get photos and updates throughout the day. We unfortunately had to move away and just wish we could have taken BB with us!"
"My daughter attended Brighter Babies until she was 4 years old. She loved the school and always looks forward to visiting when we are back in the area (BB encourages alumni to stay in touch and visit!) The admin team does a great job in creating a high energy, loving and fun atmosphere throughout the school. The curriculum was excellent and the staff/teachers were very engaging. Beautiful, spacious facility located right on the waterfront where kids can run and play games on the field everyday. Great experience at BB from start to finish. Highly recommend."
"Brighter Babies Early Development Center (BB) has felt like an extension of home for the last 4 years. Both of our sons joined when they were 6 months old – Now they are 2.5 and 4.5 years old and it’s bittersweet to see them move to a new chapter in their life. BB is run efficiently, the management genuinely cares about the well-being of the kids, has an open door policy and constantly strives in making the center the best it can be: my boys’ teachers have always been caring and nurturing, the front office is staffed by the most able, responsible and kind staff ever that my sons love so much and the kids learn a lot through engaging in fun activities. A testament to that is my awe during a recent well visit we did for my 4 year old. His pediatrician was asking him all sort of questions and he had smart answers; he was eloquent and confident. To his pediatrician’s surprise, he wrote his name with ease, drew some farm animals, and he could add numbers. I had no idea he knew so much, and I only have BB to thank!"
"All in all this is a good place to have your kids, but there are new alternatives opening up in the area that seem to offer the same level of care, with better coordination with parents, more activities and a similar or lower price tag. Your experience with brighter babies depends a lot on the teachers/caregivers you get. Our eldest has been in BB for 2.5 years and has had 5 different head teachers and about 12 different teacher assistants. The majority were really good, but you can see there's a lot of change, most of which was planned progressions from one room to another. Engagement with parents is probably the biggest drawback in brighter babies. You get little interaction with the teachers, and most of the feedback you get is filled with generic things that don't tell you much about your child's day. There's no app for constant updates and messaging like in the other daycares in the area, nor are there cameras you can access online. You're allowed to drop by to check on your kid, but it's not really encouraged. All this means there's no formal feedback loop between parents and teachers that allows you to verify your child is doing well, find if there's something where they need your help, and tell them of any gaps that you can see. They definitely could do more to engage parents. Support staff are great. Christine and Aggie at the reception shine through and make the whole atmosphere warm, fun, and friendly. Kids education is okay. You can see they put effort on developing themes and activities that go along with them. Based on what other daycares in the area now offer, that seems to be on par. Kids also get special activities like soccer or Spanish when they're 2 or older, but it seems other locations in the area offer a wider variety and frequency of special activities for a lower price. My biggest complaint here is that every time we've noticed an issue with our children's activities and brought it up with the staff, it's either been disregarded or we've had a conversation with the education director about how it's normal for our child to have issues but no clear follow ups in his classroom. The facilities are nice and clean. Most rooms get some sunlight. The location allows walks next to the river, although older kids are not allowed to play in the area's playgrounds. They only walk around and are then allowed to play in an open grassy area."
