"They take great care of the kids..."

We have truly enjoyed the time my child had in BrightStart! The small setting they have for children has been a great help. My child when he first attended was unable to talk as much now that he has completed the year he is non stop saying words and singing. They take great care of the kids and give them outside time with walks to different areas. Thank you BrightStart for caring and teaching my child.

So far, Bright Start has been a great school for progressing my son’s skills all around. He started in the summer at 3years old and I changed his school during that time; enrolling him as a PreK student because he loved the teachers and I love the curriculum. Everyone is welcoming and tends to my son’s specific needs. We appreciate you!

Our daughter is thriving at Bright Start. She loves her teachers and is excited to go each morning. They have really thought of everything I could possibly want from a childcare center - from serving healthy, fresh meals to providing diapers, lots of outside play time, music, and fun, engaging lesson plans - all in a warm, family environment. I highly recommend Bright Start to other DC families!

Our 2 year old daughter has been going to Bright Start for 2 months and she absolutely loves it. Her teachers are very loving and attentive and she has made some wonderful friends. She particularly enjoys the Zumbini classes. Bright Start takes great precautions against COVID and does an excellent job of communicating with the parents. Watching our child thrive and seeing how excited she is to go to daycare every morning makes it worth every penny!
