What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This school has been such a blessing to our family! Very professional, attentive, and caring staff. Plenty of activities and parent involvement. My son has thrived and his growth in the three months that’s he’s been at the school has really shown how much he’s learning. Love the small classroom setting and the daily updates. To have him at a school where I know he is safe and heard, where staff is patient and caring, has made all the difference. Highly recommend
Brighton was our first childcare experience and honestly has set the bar so high for any other childcare for us. The teachers and staff are so caring and communicative. We sadly had to move to a different state but my hardest goodbye was definitely Brighton. Our son was in the transition classroom and had the absolute best teachers. My son would leave my arms to go to Ms Raeny. He absolutely loved it at Brighton. We miss it so much already!
Brighton Center at the Lullwood location has been a wonderful experience for my toddler! In two months since starting he picked up so many new skills - he’s talking more, drinking from an open cup and using utensils to eat like a pro, and loves all the crafting and outdoor playtime they do. The transition room teachers, Ms. Valerie and Ms. Ruby Jo have been so loving and really helped my son adjust to daycare for the first time. And all the pics and updates they provide throughout the day on the app help my mama heart feel at ease since he’s in great hands. The other staff and the director at the center are wonderful and easy to communicate with! I really appreciate this place and highly recommend it.
Our son currently attends the Lullwood Brighten Campus. He has been attending Brighton since January of 2019 and I could not be happier with this facility. I uprooted from Michigan and this was the very first place I walked into and felt like my son was going to be well taken care of. Everyone one was super friendly and down to earth and there approach felt genuine and not rehearsed. Since my son has started he has blossomed more than I ever imagined and I have to thank everyone that is part of the Lullwood location because they have all had to do with a huge part of his growth. As the saying goes “it take a village to raise a child” and they are my village. Our son has become one of the most caring, loving, compassionate, kindhearted little boy and I truly believe that’s because of the amount of love he is shown at Brighton. Another one of the biggest things I love about Brighton is there are all kinds of children with different types of needs. I come from a large family that has children with many different challenges and I think it’s super important to teach our children from a young age how to interact with EVERYONE, and that just because someone’s challenge might be a little different then your own does not make them any different. I could go on and on about all the great things Brighton has to offer. Take a leap and see for yourself and I promise you will not be disappointed.
Our daughter attends the Lullwood Brighton campus and she absolutely thrives there. The classrooms are bright and cheerful and filled with so many toys, games, interactive play items along with being clean! There is also a ton for the little ones to do on the playground. Plenty of shade, turf grass that is great for tumbling, rolling around, giant sturdy playset, fun play stations, bike path and so much more. The staff always has a smile on their face and you can tell that what they do is not just a job. These people are making a difference in these kids lives. Not a day goes by that we are not mesmerized by the attention that everyone in the organization pays to ensure that the best interest of the families being served are front and center. The selfless, helping, giving attitude is contagious... the desire to help those in need is clear. Our daughter has attended Lullwood since she was 3 and will graduate this May. They have prepared her so well for Kinder and beyond. We will forever be grateful. If you are in need of a wonderful school for your little one -DEFINITELY give Brighton Lullwood a try! P.S The Higgins Rd. campus is equally as awesome!
