We began sending our now 3 year old son to Bright Start when he was 7 months old and are so grateful that we found such a loving environment and well run daycare for his first school experience. He has learned so much in his time there from songs to dance to the art work that he brings home. He loves the nutritious meals that are prepared on-site and speaks fondly of his teachers. We are extremely appreciative of all the extra communication and precautions that the staff thoughtfully executed during the pandemic. They have been wonderfully responsive in seeking parent feedback with all of their new measures.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at Bright Start NOMA. The caregivers and staff are caring and talented. The facility is clean and engaging for our toddler. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our daughter here!

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!

Wonderful place! The teachers really care about the kids. The food is cooked on site and is high quality (lots of vegetables and a variety of types). There’s a private, fenced in, outdoor play area which the kids love. Each classroom does a great job of getting the kids on an age-appropriate daily schedule, and transition between classrooms is done thoughtfully and slowly. Each day there are fun lesson plans and art projects. And the kids get to learn some Spanish too! The facility is clean, organized, bright and happy. Highly recommend to anyone.

My wife and I have been taking our son to Bright Start since September 2018 and have had nothing but positive experiences. Our son loves his teachers and fellow students and we have enjoyed watching him grow and thrive in a safe, happy, and healthy place. Since reopening in June, Bright Start has instituted rigorous health and safety and disinfecting measures to help keep kids safe while still providing an enriching environment for him to learn and have fun. Our son is very happy to be back and we are very happy with the quality of care and education he is receiving. Thanks!

We have been sending our daughter to Bright Start for almost two years, and we just started sending our new baby. In the time our daughter has been there, we have been so happy to see her build connections with other children, spend time outdoors, learn about music, dance and art, and eat healthy and dynamic cuisines. With all the positive progress she’s made at Bright Start, the decision to send our new baby there too was very easy. It’s a loving and warm community.

We had a terrific experience sending our toddler to Bright Start. The facility was superb – modern, larger outside play area, and best of all the staff was incredibly hospitable. We’re so thankful for the care we received especially with Ms. Brittany.

Bright Start Early Care and Pre school has been wonderful. My son has attended since he was two years old and he is now 4 years old. It was difficult for me as a mom to leave him and trust a School with him. But the staff at this school helped me feel very comfortable and confident. They have taught my son so many things and have cared for him with a lot of attention and love. My son loves the kids and his teachers. They have a great place. It is clean and safe. I noticed the school takes the necessary safety and health measures to keep the kids healthy. They regularly disinfect their environment.
I am so happy with the staff and the director, Marcia. She is a very intelligent, caring and a great leader! Mr. Liberty is extraordinary, very helpful, caring and understanding. I recommend this school to all families! They care for your children, they keep them safe, they challenge them and you’ll notice that your child will be ahead of many children their age because of the great school

Our son absolutely loved his time at Bright Start. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, the teachers genuinely care and it was a place he was excited to attend every morning.

Our son attends and loves it. It is a super warm, loving environment. They feed them very healthy food (included in tuition)–different from many other daycares where you either have to provide food or they feed unhealthy stuff like chicken nuggets.
They have a video camera that you can check in on–I trust the caretakers but it’s nice to know there’s that accountability. I check in every so often when I miss my little guy and it’s great, I’ll catch his caretakers singing and dancing, being silly and genuinely warm and loving with the little ones.
Also, I had a hard time getting my son to nap when on maternity leave unless I was holding him or wearing him in a carrier. It’s been great that they not only got him on a regular nap routine, they got him to nap with others. They’ve got some baby whisperers.
He’s 15 months now and I’m amazed at all the things they’ve taught him (so many words, he eats on his own with a spoon and fork, little songs he tries to sing/ hum). It’s also surprised me that when I go to visit at mealtime all the toddlers will be calmly eating together–it’s incredible to see all the toddlers so well behaved and in a room that actually feels…calm! I’m glad I have a place I trust where he’s happy to go when I drop him off.

Our 18 month old has been enrolled at Bright Start almost since it opened and it has been a wonderful experience. The facility is brand new. The furniture and all the items are right sized for children. There’s a nice courtyard as well as classrooms. It is spotless. The staff is friendly and attentive. The teachers are wonderful. We receive daily reports on our son and we also get good feedback about our child during the day. If there are signs of an illness, or irritability, we get a heads up. Bright start feels like a partner more than a service. Cannot recommend this place enough if you’re in need of daycare.

Bright Start is a great place for children to get a head start on building early learning skills that will allow them to thrive. The staff at Noma are very friendly and loving. I feel confident with my child in their care.
Morgan Cottle
Our daughter is thriving at Bright Start. She loves her teachers and is excited to go each morning. I love that she gets a wide variety of healthy, nutritious foods each day that are freshly prepared onsite. I know she’s kept safe and feels loved by her teachers and all of the Bright Start staff. 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!

My toddler & I love Bright Start! The staff is so nice and caring. They are very professional and even send pictures, videos, and small messages throughout the day of what my child is doing!! Thank you again Bright Start staff.
Tina Suliman
Our daughter began attending Bright Start at 18 months old and she is now four. We are so fortunate that she was able to spend these formative years in this positive and loving environment. The teachers and staff are caring, thoughtful, and passionate about nurturing children’s emotional, social, and educational development. Even in 2020, which brought a lot of uncertainty, we felt secure in knowing that our daughter was safe and well-cared for and we are grateful for the stability and continued growth Bright Start provided her. Our daughter loved going to Bright Start and truly thrived here in all ways!

I highly recommend Bright Start to any expecting parent or family looking for a new daycare and preschool! They are extremely loving with my 5-month old son, and are taking all the precautions necessary during a pandemic. We love Bright Start!
