Bright Start Little School

"Our family's time at Bright Start Little School has been wonderful over the three years that my children attended the program. Vania and her team offer a warm and loving environment where they take exceptional care of each individual child. I always felt like they were in safe and capable hands. Kids were always happy to be dropped off to see their teachers & friends every morning. Extra classes are brought in each week for music, yoga and gymnastics in addition to the Montessori-inspired daily activities and art projects. I also think my kids learned kindness and empathy from the teachers and the mixed age group. A very special place!"

"Our son went to Bright Start for two years, and we will always look back on it with fondness and nostalgia. For your money, you won’t find a more caring, safe environment for your child to make friends and grow (they also provide homecooked food). Each day when we handed our son off, Vania the director or Miss Esley the teacher kissed our son on the cheek and said Good morning mi amor. Multiple photos are uploaded so you can see what your kid is up to. There is a nice enclosed outdoor space for kids to play, plus they go for walks around the neighborhood. They also arrange for great activities, such as gymnastics class, and music class, with visitors. We had a hard time leaving when it was time for our son to go. Could not recommend this place any higher!"

"My daughter absolutely loved her time at Bright Start Little School with Vania and the other caretakers. Great space and lots of activities for little ones who are going through a critical development period. We felt safe sending our little one there to start socializing and getting accustomed to school, which was during the earlier part of the pandemic - a time filled with lots of uncertainty and concerns for parents. Thank you Vania and everyone who made Bright Start such a special place for our daughter!"

"Vania and her team are wonderful. They genuinely care for each child. Vania has a background in child development, so activities are always stimulating and age appropriate. They have yoga, music, gymnastics, etc. She also feed them a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks which is a HUGE time saver. My daughter has been attending for about a year and RUNS to the door excitedly when I drop her off! Vania also uses this cool app called Bright Wheel where they post pictures and videos throughout the day as well as what the kids ate. I get so excited to check Brightwheel to see how my little one is doing. I can’t say enough good things about Bright Start. My little one is thriving and LOVES it!"

"We couldn't be happier with our time at Bright Start. My daughter has been at the school from 9 months to 2.5 yrs and sadly our needs have changed and our little girl is moving on. Vania is amazing. She has created such a warm and loving environment and all of the children (and parents) love her. The school is set up wonderfully for the children to learn and prosper with the added benefits of organic foods, music, yoga and gymnastics! From day one I never understood how so many children could be happy and smiling all the time but Vania's warm and calm approach amazing can be seen in the children. When I looked at other daycares/preschools in the area, I gravitated to the look and feel of Bright Start. I liked the fact that the school was in it's own area and was impressed by how clean it is kept. The school is very organized sending out emails explaining activities, monthly meal calendars and even the approach taken with children (positive discipline) so we help echo Vania's approach at home. It is always nice to know what the little ones are up to when they can't tell you themselves! We will truly miss our time at this wonderful school and hope others are lucky enough to have Vania and her team teach and care for their children."
