We love love love Bright Beginnings at Forest Lakes. The teachers are excellent and truly care for our kids. We love the very creative and age appropriate curriculum. Our kids have learned so much since they have started attending Bright Beginnings. There is a very warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere there and we love that we feel like we are part of the Bright Beginnings family. Thank you for taking such good care of our children.

My daughter loves going to Bright Beginnings. She has actually attended at two different locations and still occasionally asks "Mommy can I go to the other bright beginnings for a day visit I think some of my friends and teachers may miss me?" She loves all of the Forest Lakes and Crozet staff!

After one visit to Bright Beginnings in Mill Creek, I knew this is where I wanted to send my son. Everyone was very welcoming and made the transition to a new school easy! I love that the staff is so friendly and greets me and my son by name each day. This is a wonderful place to send your children!

My little girl has been attending Bright Beginnings since 2012. Every day, she is excited to go to school. She loves her little friends and her teachers and every night is excited to pick out her outfit for school and help pack her lunch. While she has been at Bright Beginnings, she has learned so much, from fun songs to life skills to academic development in numbers and letters. Furthermore, her verbal skills have skyrocketed. I am impressed with the security of the building, the professionalism and the creativity of the staff, and the activities offered by the school. Plus, there's free coffee in the mornings. What parent doesn't need free coffee? I need free coffee and a safe place for my child to learn. Bright Beginnings offers both.

Our son has really loved going there. He has learned so much and is always sad to leave at the end of the day. They take wonderful care of him and we appreciate what a great job his teachers do!
Robertson Family
We are so grateful for Bright Beginnings and especially Ms. Tonya! We are big fans of the unique curriculum and day plans. Our son has learned so much in his 2 years there already. He is creative, thoughtful, and a kind friend, much because of all he learns in the classroom and on the playground.

We are so blessed to have found Bright Beginnings for our children! We started at the Forest Lakes location and then moved to the Mill Creek location when we moved into Charlottesville. It has been a terrific experience for both of our sons who have come to love learning and have developed strong connections with their teachers and their fellow students. The curriculum and the teaching has been exceptional. The teachers communicate frequently and openly so I always feel well aware of what my children are doing, learning, and feeling/expressing on any given day. The teachers are fun and wildly creative - always thinking or creating new games or activities or crafts, which my children rave about! I also love the classrooms, which are large, bright, open spaces for children to move around, play, and learn. (When I started searching for a daycare/preschool 3 years ago, I found that some others were cramped and cluttered, so that was an important factor to me.) Above all, I feel that my children are loved and cared for and appreciated for who they are. While they are growing abundantly in knowledge, Bright Beginnings and their awesome teachers are also reinforcing the important values that my husband and I are teaching them at home - like how to be good friends and citizens by being kind, using good manners, and sharing, and also how to vocalize their thoughts and feelings (good and bad). I am grateful to have found Bright Beginnings and its terrific staff.
Meyer Family
Our son is 2 1/2 and has attended the Mill Creek location since he was 18 months. They have an excellent and dedicated staff. If an issue arises, the staff and owner are excellent in resolving them. For example, our son was no longer being challenged in the 2 year old class. We met with the director and owner and ended up moving him up a class. He is excited to go to school every day to see his teacher Mr. Tom and friends. The facility is also very welcoming and even includes complimentary coffee for parents.
