Starbright Early Learning Center

Just enrolled my children recently. I have two children - a 4-year-old and a second grader at Olivia Park Elementary school. Wonderful teachers! Very educated staff. Beautiful classrooms. Amazing collection of toys and educational materials. Interesting curriculum. Music, dance, and Spanish teachers. They just added a huge gymnasium with gymnastic equipment and tons of toys to climb and play on. They use this for rainy days. Just a really nice program...and they don't take you to the cleaners. Tuition is surprisingly reasonable. Check it out!!!!!!!

I loved this school, my son went there for a couple years, great staff. We had to give short notice and move our son to public school do to having only one income in the household. 11 months after leaving we were served with papers on a Civil Judgment. What?? We thought? How are we getting served with papers on a balance owed when we never received any phone calls requesting the payment. No attempts to contact via phone OR mail while having both our cell phone numbers and my direct line at work. I must say this attempt to collect debt in such a manner without calling us and talking with us has left me very saddened. I am shocked that people that had such an impact on our son's life and who we spoke with daily did not find it acceptable to just call us and ask for what was owed. We didn't even know we left with a balance. I was sad to hear that in the future now I would not consider having any children go to this school because of this unfortunate and very preventable experience. Not only are you charging for balance owed - now you want to put court costs on top of the balance? Why? Because you couldn't lick a stamp or pick up a phone? Very disappointed.

Both of my kids have had wonderful experiences at Starbright. My daughter was there from the time she turned 4 until she started public school; my son has been there since he turned 1. Each room has an age-appropriate curriculum. Staff pay close attention to each child, so they move to the next classroom when they are developmentally ready (instead of at a predetermined age). "Extras" include music programs, Spanish instruction, swimming, and field trips.\t\n\t\nYes, they taught my kids their letters, to read, to speak a few spanish words, and even (in their kindergarten program) to swim ... but what we've appreciated most is how they teach the children to be kind, helpful, and respectful of others. My daughter (now in 2nd grade) still loves to go back and visit, hugging teachers and friends she meets in the hallways. Spend a few minutes there, listen to how the teachers talk to the kids, watch how the kids treat each other ... and you'll see what an amazing place this is for kids to learn and grow.
