- JAJenn AndersonJul 1, 20205.0They provide really good care. They are very serious about Children's Health and Welfare especially during this time of covid-19. They have highly trained and dedicated teachers. They plan a wide range of educational activities for all ages. The cost seems high for Brookings, but it is extremely reasonable based on the services that they provide and the cost that you are paying. For this type of care in a more metropolitan area you would easily pay two to three times as much for tuition per month.
- SMSara MooneyFeb 9, 20195.0I am very grateful to have the opportunity for my son to attend the Early Learning Center Preschool! The teachers are amazing! The classrooms are fun learning environments teaching science, art, reading, handwriting, manners, and more. I love the idea they are adjacent to United Living Community and visit “grandparents” regularly. The coordinators and teachers promote a collaborative approach with families. I highly recommend this center for anyone seeking childcare!
- CLChelsea LynnFeb 4, 20195.0My 2 year old and 5 month old attended the Early Learning Center, so we experienced the infant program and the toddler program. I can't say enough good things about the team at ELC-Bright Horizons! I always felt So SAFE leaving my babies at the facility; the teachers in the infant room were very caring and professional. They listened to my concerns and questions about developmental goals. The infant program makes sure the babies are developing and growing-there's never a "set them on the floor or a bouncer and forget them" mentality like some other care programs employ. The babies get LOTS of one on one attention. They are loved and snuggled so much. The toddler program was excellent. My son's vocabulary developed so much thanks to the great teachers. They are very attentive to ensure a safe environment and to communicate any concerns promptly so we as parents could follow-up. The administrative staff (Barb, Tara, and Alexa) were critical as well to making sure I always knew what was going on at the center and in my children's lives. They make safety a priority! I will miss this center SO MUCH! They are worth the wait!
