Diverse staff
The teachers and staff at BCLC are amazing. I send my children to school each day knowing that they will be safe, cared for and challenged by dedicated early childhood professionals. I also really appreciate the commitment to hiring and retaining a diverse staff and supporting diverse perspectives within the curriculum so that all children and families can feel seen, included and represented. That’s a real challenge in education and BCLC is definitely doing something right!
Staff helped us identify developmental concerns
BCLC staff and admins helped us identify and pursue assistance for developmental concerns with our child that were overlooked and initially disregarded by medical professionals. We are confident moving on to kindergarten only because of the knowledge and support from the BCLC team. We will forever be grateful.
The staff is why our child loves BCLC
The teachery and all of the staff are so friendly and accommodating. They all care deeply about the safety, well-being, and education of the children. Our child loves school and the staff at BCLC is a big reason why.
Knowing the kids are safe is priceless
The teachers and staff at BCLC are kind, caring and skilled educators who take the time to know my children as individuals and foster their learning. It’s hard to leave your small children every day but knowing they’re safe with their team of educators is priceless.
Language barrier was no issue
Our son has been at Bright Child learning Center for almost a month now and we couldn’t be happier. His teachers are absolutely amazing and put their whole heart into what they do. He turned 3 years and never had been to any day care before. At home we speak language other than English. But in a months time his teachers consoled, comforted him that he now loves and enjoys going to daycare. They really keep him happily entertained, loved, and cared for during the day. Its just beginning for us but a lot of improvement we can already feel. Even with all language barriers teachers helped him adjust to his little classroom. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Apart from this teacher also keep posting updates on app where they share feedings, activities as well as posting pictures. I can’t thank them enough for helping and nurturing my little one.
My kids are able to follow their interests
We love the school, my kids like going and love their teachers. One highlight is definitely music class as well as arts and science that both of them are very fond of and never want to miss. We love that the kids are able to follow their interests and are being met where they are at.
Thankful for the Montessori Practice
The Montessori curriculum was not something we were initially looking for but have been so pleased with how the girls are developing and learning. Reading books about the education practices in European countries it seems like a very similar curriculum to what BCLC has and we are very thankful!
BCLC is in tune with what the child needs
We love the Montessori approach and the quality of staff. We also love how safe it is. We appreciate how BCLC embraces the whole child and is in tune with what the child needs.
The staff truly cares for my baby
From day one at BCLC, I’ve felt like the teachers and staff truly cared for my baby. So much so, that he gave his teacher a huge smile on Day Two! The activities have helped him learn and feel comfortable, and it’s great to see how much he’s developed since starting.
All programs are incredible
The infant and preschool programs are incredible. Teachers are dedicated to development of our kids and do a phenomenal job of engaging with us as parents to engage us in the important milestones we should be working toward with our kids.
There’s an app for updates on feedings, changings and activities
Our son has been at Bright Child Learning Center for almost 5 months and we couldn’t be happier. His teachers are absolutely amazing and put their whole heart into what they do. There’s an app where they give you updates on feedings, changing‘s and activities as well as posting pictures. He’s only seven months old and we get fun art projects that he’s created sent home and his development has had so much progress. I can’t say enough good things about this place .
Feel confident in the Early Ed childcare
We feel very confident in the care Ellie is receiving at BCLC – trust in her health and safety, that she is being looked after by staff who really care for her, and we see daily the development steps she is taking as a result of the curriculum and efforts of the teachers.
Son doesn’t want to leave school
Our son literally doesn’t want to leave every day when we pick him up. He loved his teachers in the infant room and he talks about his toddler friends from school non-stop. It’s very reassuring to know that he’s having such a good time and learning so much when we have to be away from him.
Facility is somewhere you want to send your child
The facility is very new, clean, bright and feels like somewhere that you would want to send your children for a day.
Best recommendation I can give for childcare
The best recommendation I can give for a childcare provider is a place where I don’t have to worry about my child’s safety and security, and BCLC exceeds that criteria. Beyond that, the teaching and administrative staff are truly top notch, their communication with parents is excellent, and I know without a doubt that my son is receiving the right amount of age-appropriate stimulation, education, and learning new life skills. The tuition rates fit within our budget (and absolutely worth every penny!) and the building and each classroom was designed specifically with every age and developmental group in mind. The Montessori curriculum ended up being a more important aspect of our son’s childcare than we originally thought it would be, and I can see now that it has helped tremendously with his development. We were able to utilize the Birth to Three program through Dane County Human Services, and our coordinator worked really well and closely with his BCLC teacher; the result has been great and I have less stress as a parent knowing that the staff are so willing and able to continue working with him on his behavioral and social-emotional development. I very highly recommend BCLC!
Kids learn more than at a typical daycare
Our kids learn so much more than at a typical daycare and we love our teachers. We’re very happy with general procedures, communication, snacks, inclusivity, etc.
Intentionality in building development
Intentionality in development, care, and support. It’s a great space for little ones to explore, learn, and make friends. I feel so confident dropping my little one off knowing they’re making friends, learning new skills, and feeling supported.
We have had a wonderful experience at BCLC
The teachers and staff are caring and communicative. The leadership proactively communicate with us and go above and beyond to help us work together to support our child. There are enriching programs for music and language, and Montessori philosophies are baked in so kids learn independence and self sufficiency. The building is bright and beautiful.
Couldn’t imagine taking my kid anywhere else
I always emphasize what an amazing environment BCLC is. Our child is flourishing in development and social skills. The teachers are amazing, kind, and make us feel safe having our child attend there. I couldn’t imagine taking him anywhere else!
