My daughter has just completed three years at Bright Beginnings Stamford and I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation enough for the saintly, hard-working staff. Since infancy, they have helped her to learn, grow, thrive and develop manners and relationships. I attribute my daughter's intelligence to them. Every year, her teachers went above and beyond to make sure she was content, comfortable and fulfilled. I am sad we have to leave, as we are moving, but I will always recommend this place as a first school. Thank you for the memories, and for everything.

My daughters spent two years in the preschool program at bright begginings and I couldn’t have been happier. She has learned and grown so much and I am confident she is ready for kindergarten. The teachers and staff are all so friendly and really know your child and they do so many things to help you feel a part of the school and your child’s experience. They have taken great precautions with the presence of Covid-19 to still provide a safe and happy environment for the kids. I would absolutely recommend bright begginings and will look back fondly on my daughters time there for years to come!

We sent our son to Bright Beginnings at 11 months of age. He has been attending the school for more than two years now and we are so grateful to have found this great 'home away from home'. We have had a really good experience with loving teachers who actually teach and don't just babysit - especially with Ms. Lily, Ms. Amanda, and Ms. Barbara - our son has learned so much. Ridhita, the Director, has always been kind and accommodating. The outdoor space is wonderful and a great way for kids to experience nature play. The teachers do a good job of getting the kids outside in all seasons. We chose Bright Beginnings because it has the safety and regulations that you would expect to find at a larger daycare without the corporate, cold feel of some of the others that we had considered. I did a lot of research and would only trust my child with the best, and I feel that we found that at Bright Beginnings.

Our daughter has been a ‘Bright Beginner’ for 2 ½ years and since the very beginning we’ve been very pleased with the level of attention and care she receives. The teachers she has/had taking care of her (and few others that we see on regular basis) have all been very warm and caring, loving and simply incredible. Our daughter loves them all and they are really the reason for her to be happy and excited about going to school every morning and us feeling at ease leaving her there.The management at Bright Beginnings caters to the development of the child and is willing to work with parents to make sure that we are happy with any suggestions/decisions being made. Their ‘Open Door’ policy speaks volumes about how the management and stuff approach the parent-teacher relations. We cannot relate to some of the negative reviews left here – that is not our experience and, honestly, hard to believe.Speaking with other parents of siblings who graduated from Bright Beginnings, it is clear to us that when our daughter enters Kindergarten in 3 years, she will be very well prepared. We love how the teachers incorporate educational aspects with play, creating a positive learning environment.Overall, our experience at Bright Beginnings has been very positive and we would recommend this center with no hesitation to our family and friends.

i honestly don't know how this center has this many stars, if i can give it a negative star i would. first off the center is nice the teachers seemed nice, i wanted to enroll my son but as i was going on tour with the director she seemed very disinterested in showing me around because i had care 4 kids. she was just really rude as i sat with her she never gave me any information on enrolling or if she had any openings and seemed to want to hurry and get rid of me. if you don't have the money or coming out of pocket on your own the director will not be interested in meeting you. i was highly upset, but i found a better daycare for my son who treats me with respect. PLEASE DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE!!!

We have been with Bright Beginnings from the beginning when they 1st opened the door. The school provides a loving environment that focuses on education. My oldest daughter was part of the graduating class this summer and now is very well prepared and thriving at Kindergarten.We have nothing but positive things to say about the staff at Bright Beginnings. The facility is clean, safe, and our children have been surrounded by kind, knowledgeable and loving teachers. You can sense that everyone on the staff genuinely cares about your child. I would like to specifically mention Lilly, who took care of our 2 year old when she first entered Bright Beginnings at the age of 5 months. She is caring, experienced and devoted to all the babies and has provided loving foundation for our child to grow from.The school also offers extra classes like gymnastics, dance, chess, music and yoga (some included in the tuition and some extra) , which are great change of pace for the children. Recently the school changed to electronic daily reports, which gives you a summary of their sleep, eating, and activities for that day. Most of the reports have fun pictures of the kids and their activities that day.Overall, my husband and I are very happy with Bright Beginnings and would highly recommend the facility.

We have been sending our son to Bright Beginnings since he was 4 months old, and from day one, he's been looked after with tremendous care and attention. The staff is wonderful, and he has learned so much. Everyday he comes home saying something that shocks me because he's only 3...there is such a focus education, yet there is never a shortage of playtime. It's a safe, clean and loving environment. I would recommend this daycare to any parent. We are confident we made the right choice for our son by sending him to Bright Beginnings.

When my first born was 3 months old, I enrolled him at Bright Beginnings. It would be my first experience with day care and I was understandably very nervous. My nerves were completely unfounded, as Bright Beginnings turned out to be a marvelous experience for both my baby and myself. They have an open door policy, and I would walk in unannounced fairly frequently. More often than not, I'd find Yosef (my baby) and other children in the teacher's arms, or on the floor surrounding a teacher, or playing with toys.. Whenever I brought Yosef to daycare in the morning, he would jump out of my hands into Miss Lilly's hands. He was well taken care of - cleaned, fed, cared for, and played with. Bright Beginnings is the perfect size - large enough to be professional but small enough not to feel institutionalized. The office staff knows each child and my little baby was greeted personally each time I walked through the door with him. The staff vacuums and sprays the room every day, keeping it as clean and germ free as possible. They even did arts and crafts with my son when he was only 4 months old! Additionally, I personally was made to feel very much at home whenever I came in to nurse him, to play with him (during my lunch break) or to pick him up. The mothers are all friendly and it's a welcoming environment for parents too. All in all, I loved Bright Beginnings and would recommend it strongly to any parent who wants a stimulating,caring, and safe place for their child.

Bright Beginnings is a safe, clean and caring environment to send your child. I have been sending my son there since he was 2 years old and now, almost five, he is ready for the kindergarten all thanks to his loving teachers. I would totally recommend Bright Beginnings for your children. They will love it there!

Great school program for birth - 5years old. My son just graduated from there and has had a great expierence there. Loved the place, playgrounds, the special designed programs for every stage, management specially safety of our kids and also the teachers there. My son used to look forward to his time at Bright Beginnings and meeting his friends and teachers. This place made transistion from home to this place very easy for us and also from class to class every year. My child has learnt a lot from this Centre. I used to look forward to the weekly email from teachers as to what they did and their monthly newsletter.Would definitely recommend this daycare center in the area.

My sons both went to Bright Beginnings starting at 8 weeks old. For my oldest son, I was really nervous about leaving him and felt like a terrible mother going to work...like a lot of us working mothers can feel sometimes. The teachers in his first class, as well as Kharline and Rhidita, were really great with keeping me informed and taking amazing care of him. It wasn't just the first class of teachers, but every classroom he was in where the teachers were exceptional and really paid attention to the things I wanted for my son (he was in 6 classrooms through the years). He is very bright, loves to learn and has a great personality - and they played a huge part in that as he went there 5 days a week all year round.I thought sending my youngest son would be easier, but I went through the same feelings. I quickly became comfortable, again because of his teachers. They were totally on top of everything and kept me informed. And I could tell how much they loved him by seeing them care for him. And he is a handful for sure...I'm not sure how they kept up with him and the other babies.I also have to admit that I am quite the handful when it comes to mothers. I have high expectations and have occasionally lost my temper, but Rhidita handled me with grace. She said she understood because she was a mother, and that its natural to want the best for my kids. Other owners probably would've kicked my kids out of the school for the way I behaved at times (sorry again, it was the hormones I think).We recently moved to NC, which is the only reason my kids don't go to Bright Beginnings any longer. Things here are okay, but no where near the standard that Bright Beginnings set.The boys miss you all and are doing well though. Keep up the amazing work and tell everyone we say hello!

My child attended this center for more than 3 years. This center is small and very clean. The basement needs some updating. The children that attend this location are loved by their teachers even though teachers stay in this location for a very short period of time. I have witnessed a lot of drama here and I have been told by multiple teachers that the director doesn’t treat them very good. The director of this center is extremely rude and talks down to people. I am going to give this center a 5 despite the fact that the director has communication issues which might be cultural.

Our daughter was one of the first few to be part of the Bright Beginnings family. We are very happy and grateful for the services this school has provided to our child. The teachers were welcoming, kind, and affectionate. Our daughter loved every day she spent at the school and we loved that she was getting much needed socialization, playtime and a safe environment. The administration was fair and flexible with all requests. We would definitely recommend this school to inquiring parents!

My son has been going to this school for 3 years now.. graduating this year.. I had a wonderful experience with this school. I met some of the great teachers here.. I also had a similar concern as some other parents last year with the high turn-over of teachers. I understand having structured expectations might cause some of the teachers to leave, but wish they could have kept some of the great teachers who left. But, I did see some stability over the last year, so I assume whatever was causing the high turn-over might have been addressed, and hopefully continues to be addressed.However, I do believe, my child was well taken care of. He was encouraged to learn, be creative and much more. He loved going to school and always had favorite teachers and friends, which is heart warming. I like the fact that cameras are installed in the classes, so it provides a sense of security to the new parents. I give Bright Beginnings a thumbs-up!!
