I had my daughter already registered at another preschool when I went to the Brightstar open house. We were stunned when she had a magical and undeniable connection with Miss Carol, the Turtle Doves teacher. Miss Carol was so warm and loving towards my daughter. It was as if she loved my child as much as I did. We immediately registered her in Brightstar and watched her thrive in every aspect of her life including academic, spiritual and confidence. She is graduating this year and is more than ready to take her next steps into kindergarten. The entire staff whole-heartedly put their hearts into their work every single day. It is a warm and loving environment and one of the best kept secrets of San Jose.

As a working mother, I faced numerous challenges in finding a school that could provide excellent care for my children throughout the day. However, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have discovered BCA. This school strikes the perfect balance between academics and play, and, above all, the teachers genuinely care for the children with utmost sincerity. I've noticed that the turnover rate for teachers is remarkably low, which allows the kids to form stable relationships and thrive in a consistent environment.One aspect that brings me immense joy is that BCA also instills a love for God in the children from an early age. It warms my heart to see my children learning about God and developing their Christian identities. I'm truly grateful for how BCA's approach helps shape the character and beliefs of my children.Moreover, BCA excels in communication with parents, making use of various channels such as the app, email, and more to keep us well-informed and maintain transparency. They even organize sessions on parenting, education, and related topics, providing invaluable guidance in raising children.Having visited over ten preschools before choosing BCA, I can confidently say that it surpasses them all, offering the best environment for my kids. My eldest child recently graduated from BCA, and he is going to miss the school and the teachers tremendously.

What a BLESSING it has been for our family having our son attend Brightstar! They truly care and love the children so much. Ms. Jacqueline is such a sweetheart and so supportive to the parents but you can also see how she is so supportive of her staff. Our son gets so excited the second we pull into the parking lot and says "Yay! School" his face lights up when he sees Ms. Kristin, Ms. Lyn and Ms. Anita! The teachers in the sparrows class that I have had the opportunity to connect with are so amazing with the kids, with providing updates to the parents, responsive and loving! Mr. Elisa is also such a sweetheart! My son loves when he sees him. He does so much for the school and the kids. I can't say it enough how blessed and thankful we are to God for guiding us and bringing us to Brightstar! We look forward to having our son continue and grow here. We are constantly bragging and sharing how happy we are with our family and friends! Thank you Brightstar!!!!

Thank you, Brightstar!I am taking the time to write this because Brightstar has been nothing short of a blessing to our family. My little girl, Ella, was a toddler when the pandemic started and so her entire social experience had been crafted in our home. I was worried about sending her to school and how she would adjust. Enter Brightstar. I cannot express enough what a comfort this school and community have been to us how they have made Ella's first school experience a positive and memorable one. She has learned so much, not only academically, but socially and emotionally. She even tells us at dinner time about why the colors of vegetables matter -- "purple means they are good for your brain." SHE IS 3. Its been amazing to watch. I also believe her teacher, Ms. Carol, has a calling to do this work. Her patience and care for each child is a gift and she is much of the reason this has been such a success. I highly, highly recommend Brightstar to your family -- from someone who literally scoured Yelp and everything in between trying to find the right school.

I wish I would have found BrightStar earlier and I wish they going beyond Preschool, the staff is AMAZING! They love the kids and make them feel comfortable and makes me as a parent comfortable to leave our daughter in their care. They take the time to teach our kids amazing skills and academics, skills on caring for the earth, trade skills such as gardening. I HIGHLY recommend BrightStart to any parent who is looking for a Good Preschool. .

The staff doesn't babysit, they actually care for every single child and take time to explain and encourage good behavior to help with their development. They are an extension of you and help reinforce things you're trying to teach at home.My kid hated being separated from me and it was really rough for 2 months, but now I can't get her out of school. She just wants to hang out with her teacher and play the games she's learned.In conclusion, if you're looking for a good Christian school with staff that will care and love on your kid in a safe environment then this is your school.BTW germs will be shared by all... it's inevitable no matter which school you put your kid. Blessings

I have sent my little king previously to a couple of other places before and every time he had some problems there and was crying none stop! until thank God, we were referred to Brightstar, and when we went there, met Mis Jacqueline who walked us through the whole process, and then we started sending him there. Hands down, Mis. Melinda, Mis. Christen, and Mis. Suzan, are the best I have known. They are so kind and professional and I heard about them not only from my little king Aiden, I heard about them how great they are even from the parents that had their kids here years back. I am so thankful to have Aiden here with these angels and I wish them all the best because they will give you peace of mind that your lovely kid is having fun, learning, and building the basic fundamental of their long path to success. My boy is so happy when he knows has to go to school and one of the great features here is that photos and videos keep coming to you informing you of their activities which is so amazing. Mr. Elisha always tries to get the best of the best meal and I am grateful for having them around my kid.Aiden however is leaving this place to continue his journey in a higher grade but will never ever forget the BrightStar :)

Here is a testimonial of our experience and gratefulness with the staff for our daughter: We wanted to thank you for being an integral part in why she will be attending private school in the fall. Our hearts are filled to the brim with gratefulness for all of you. Ms Jacqueline, thank you for being our fearless leader and shepherding us with such joy, care, and flexibility ...all with endless smiles and prayers. Big hugs! Ms Melinda and Ms Kristin, thank you for being such wonderful teachers that were able to tap into our daughter's gifts, and continue to do so, by providing her the classroom and social environment to thrive and have that solid foundation as a toddler. Thank you also for your time in teaching and caring for us as parents in navigating our own growth journey through this thing called parenthood while juggling our demanding careers. You both have been such an amazing support system and a humongo blessing to our lives. I cannot say it enough, but thank you for all your guidance, perspective, and love. It means TONS and has given us invaluable peace of mind. Please know that you have made such an impact on our hearts and we hope to remain family friends. Big hugs!

My eldest has been at brightstar for 3 years. He is loved, nurtered, and guided by wonderful teachers who recognize his unique gifting and encourage him to shine. He is completely ready for Kindergarten. We are sad to be closing this very special chapter with this very special school.
