  We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Early Learning Center! From the very beginning, we felt welcomed, supported, and completely confident that our children were in wonderful hands. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring, patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s happiness and development. Our children have grown so much since starting here—not only academically and socially, but also in confidence and independence. We love hearing about all the fun activities, learning opportunities, and new things they get to explore each day. It’s clear that the staff put so much thought and heart into creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed about how our children are doing. Most importantly, our children absolutely love going to school, which gives us tremendous peace of mind as parents. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing place for our children. We highly recommend the SDSU Early Learning Center to any parent looking for a loving, trustworthy, and enriching environment. We truly couldn’t ask for a better experience!

  We have had two children go through the South Dakota State University Bright Horizons program, and I truly would never want to bring my kids anywhere else! The teachers are absolutely wonderful, caring, and intentional about creating a positive learning environment. I especially appreciate that the classrooms have lesson plans and activities even for the babies. There is a thoughtful structure to each day while still allowing the kids to learn, play, and grow at their own pace. It is clear how much time and effort the teachers put into creating meaningful experiences for the children. We have always felt confident and comfortable knowing our kids are in such great hands. We are so grateful for everyone at Bright Horizons and would highly recommend the program to any family!

  They 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.

  My girls have been going to Bright Horizons daycare here since March 2017. They love their friends and teacher's! They provide a phone app for parents to check-in and see fun pictures of what the kids are doing and learning each day. They are having fun while learning and staying safe.
