- SSSeanFeb 18, 20255.0Our 3yo loves going to the SDSU Early Learning Center! His teachers, Lydia and Taylor are so kind, thoughtful, and know each of the kids' individual personalities and preferences. I know my kid is in good hands while there 😊.
- SBSara BakkenJan 27, 20195.0My 3 year old and 8 month old love Bright Horizons! It's so great to have a nurturing, educational place for them to grow and build friendships. We are fortunate to have a child care center like this in Brookings.
- AMAimee MaherFeb 23, 20185.0My family and I moved to Brookings in 2016 and we were in search for a childcare provider for our two children at the time. We were so fortunate to have found Bright Horizons (Early Learning Center) of Brookings! The directors, staff and teachers are just amazing! Our children have learned so much both inside (academic) and outside (social) the classroom. When I go to pick them up each day, they are eager to tell me about what they learned, what activities they did and who they played with. This past year we have added a third kiddo to our family and she now goes to the same center. With our three children, we have experienced every age specific classroom and have been nothing but impressed. My husband and I feel extremely comfortable dropping our children off each morning because we know they are in a safe learning environment. The center encourages a partnership with the parents so it truly is a team effort. The directors plan events, both fun and educational, for families to get involved. The teachers communicate daily with the parents on what their child has accomplished that day - learning objectives, activities, meals, naps, etc. The communication is through the My Bright Day app and the teachers include pictures of my kiddos as well as class activities. There is always a friendly face at the front to greet us as we come in during the morning and at the end of the day! We absolutely love Bright Horizons and all the people who are part of it! I would highly recommend this center if you are looking for childcare. It's a great place when my two older children are excited to come to school each day!
