Parent Reviews
My son attended Bright Star since he was 6 months old. He is now graduating at 4 years old because we are moving to the East Coast. Lily and her staff are absolutely amazing and it’s clear they have loved him very much. He often asks to “go to school” while we are on vacation and we regularly schedule play dates with other parents at Bright Star. The language exposure he had at Bright Star was also very impressive. He often now asks at home for “nui nai” (milk) and “pin go” (apples). I would highly recommend Bright Star for any parents who want their kids to be cared and loved for.
We love Bright Star so much! I sent both of my kids to Bright Star, starting when they were babies, and staying until they went to TK. Ivy and Lily took such good care of my children, and my children adored them - they still want to visit Bright Star and say hi to Lily and Ivy, even after they're no longer going. I really appreciated that the kids had fun, but they also learned a lot too - the kids came home singing mandarin songs, and knowing the words for different animals. They helped my son learn his letters and numbers, which he was always so excited to point out when he recognized them. The kids came home with different art projects, which was always fun to see. My daughter still asks me to make dumplings, like she learned how to make at Bright Star (I don't know how to make dumplings, they need to teach me!) We never had to pack snacks or lunch, because the kids were served healthy meals. Now that my kids are in school, I really miss that convenience! Ivy and Lily were calm, dependable, and flexible. They helped with potty training and nap training. I'm so grateful for all that they did. I never had to worry about my kids when they were at Bright Star, and that made such a difference. I highly recommend Bright Star.
