  Miss Vilela runs this place like she is caring for her own children. The facility is really clean, she has a ton of educational and fun activities she does with the children and the food is always yummy my little one says. I feel comfortable when I drop my child off to her knowing my kid is safe. This truly is a trustworthy center. She is reliable and very communicative. I truly enjoy this place and wish my kid didn’t have to grow up so they could stay in her care forever!

  Does this place have some issues? Yes. All of them do. Let me tell you. We had to leave after 4 years due to my office moving. I wholly wish we did not have to. I have had 3 children enrolled. My 4 year old is much more advanced than many of his current classmates in his new school. I credit this to the staff at BH. They have some wonderful people working at this facility (or did, I hear some have left). I can tell you from experience, not all facilities have teachers that are willing to learn a child's personality and work with them from that perspective. This is where they excel, imo. Are they expensive? Yes. Are they difficult to get into? Yes. Is there sometimes some miscommunication? Yes. Would I enroll my 3 children there again if I were able? Yes! Compared to the other facilities we have been to since we left (there's been 2), this place is wonderful. They are legit teaching kids, not just babysitting.

  My daughter attended this school for 1s,2s, 3s, and a few months in 4k. I then transferred her to a 4k program in the elementary school she will be attending. The teachers here are amazing and really prepared my daughter for success in her academic journey. My daughter learned how to write her name by age 3. She went into 4k knowing how to count to 20. She also knew her shapes and numbers. She also knew how to sing her ABCs, hold a pencil, and use the scissors. This program also set her up socially because she knows how to share and ask others if they want to play. She also knows how to ask for help and follow directions in the classroom setting. I am so thankful for this amazing program.

  While the program has several benefits, my daughter stay getting sick here, refused to eat the family style food (another reason she continued to get sick, why would you feed 1 year olds family style without expecting them to get sick), and the director is extremely combative to discourage parents from speaking out. I would find another center for sure.

  Too many weird vibes and negative energy at this place of business. I can sense that some of the staff members do not get along.
