Bright Beginnings School 400 North Andersen Boulevard, Chandler, AZ 85224

"We thought this school was our dream school, we were SO wrong. The school is governed by their school board(3 teachers and a front office assistant) and their principal (to which they have not had one for months) our daughter was relentlessly bullied this school year. Our daughter is 7. The meetings with "school board" were a joke. We were scoffed at and eyes rolled. We were told by Mrs. Peggy French that our daughter would just be bullied at the next school as well. Their zero tolerance policy is nonexistent. They have failed our family and our child. Their awards are all biased as they push and push you to vote for them as best charter school. Please do NOT send your child here. The school just wants your money. We are so so happy to be changing schools and removing ourselves from this nightmare of a school and staff."

"I love Bright Beginnings School! I have been a parent at Bright Beginnings for the last 8 years and have also been on staff for 2 years as well. I am thankful everyday that I have a safe, enriching, and challenging school to send my children and for a welcoming family friendly community to belong. Our classes range from 17-22 students per class with a certified teacher and full-time aide instructing. Our lessons are engaging, hands-on, and accelerated. We continue to score some of the best AzMerit test scores in the state...while not over-stressing our students. Our students come to school excited to learn and discover! We offer amazing specials taught by master teachers in their areas: art, music, Spanish, technology, and wellness! My daughters have all thrived both socially and academically while attending. Teachers and administrators work hard to allow opportunities for our students to blossom into well-rounded motivated leaders and life-long learners!"

"I love that my children attend a school that is challenging AND fun! The teachers and aides are fantastic, and the educational experience is very well-rounded. Small class sizes allow for many hands-on opportunities and individualized attention. Our specials classes and teachers are truly the best, and the after school classes rock too! BBS is a great place to be a kid!"

"We have a 5 year old in kindergarten with Mrs. Nichols. We have had the best experience. Our daughter is strong minded and independent. She was not adjusting well but Mrs. Nichols worked with us patiently. My daughter is now excelling. When I was frustrated with my daughter's behavior, the principal invited me into her office and supported me as I shared how I wanted her to succeed. The principal addressed my concerns and showed her support as she continued to check in. I am shocked by the prior review as my experience has differed so significantly. Mrs. Nichols was committed to working with my daughter and showing support to us. She met with us before class so we could discuss strategies. This is my second child in this school and I am continuously grateful we made the decision to stay at BBS."

"We have been a BBS family for eight years. My three kids all love the school. The staff have high standards for learning and behavior, and the kids rise to the challenges. The curriculum, extracurricular activities, teaching staff and PTA are outstanding. The administration has always been friendly, helpful and organized. We highly recommend this school!"
