Brighten Academy Preschool Austin

My kid fall down in that school he was crying but the teachers send him to a room were kids be send if they cry. This school should help kids if they fall and cry but it doesn't. This school is worse and don't not help kids when they fall down and cry they just send them in a random room

My son went here for a few months before switching over to a special needs program through CUSD and they were very nice to him as well as me. He hasn't gone to this school in months although he still brings up how he misses his old teacher Miss. Angie so she must have made a big impression on him! Angie was always super nice to me as well, I never thought twice about leaving my son in her care. There were many other nice staff members at this location too. Very nice location and great surveillance system. The few downsides to this school is your child has to be EXTREMELY well-behaved. My son struggled with his speech and he would become overwhelmed, overestimated, and feel unheard and would melt down because of it and I feel they did very little to accommodate him. Also, food quality is worse than public school lunch, was very disappointed in food quality for the price of tuition.

My son starting attending Brighten Academy once he turned 2 years old. He is now almost 4 and the amount he has learned in these past 2 years is amazing. Not only Academically but socially. As a full-time working Mom, the trust you have to have with your child’s school, teachers, and friends is a lot. It is a home away from home for us. The Brighten Family truly cares about you and your child. The moment you walk in the door you will see for yourself. The best part is your child will surprise you everyday with the fun facts, knowledge and manors they learn while at school. This isn’t just a school experience, it is a family.

My son has been in daycare since he was 3 months old. After touring many other child care centers, the first impression that the staff at Brighten Academy gave me is that they were happy, welcoming and actually love what they do. Something that set them apart from the other places. Anyone can provide basic child care; however, I am leaving my most precious baby with these people. I was looking for somewhere that I felt in my gut that I could trust. Because of his age at the time that we first needed care, we were forced to enroll him at another center, which we were ultimately unhappy with, but did so to hold us over until he turned 2 and was old enough to attend Brighten. Well, I am here to tell all of you parents that it was well worth the wait! From the owners, directors, teachers and even the maintenance guys… they all acknowledge us and have always treated us with nothing but kindness. I will walk down the hallway and have 7 people tell me to have a great day! I will continue to recommend this company to all families that are looking for a preschool that goes above and beyond!

This place is amazing. If you are trying to decide where is the best preschool for your child.hands down, Brighten Academy is the best choice. We have been attending this location for a total of 8 years (3 kids). They are extremely organized with knowing which kids have allergies and medical conditions. The staff always treat the kids as if they are their own children. Daily we are informed how their day was and if they had a minor injury we receive an "ouch report". If there is something more severe for example, playing outside and collided with a friend and bumped their head, we immediately receive a phone call at work and brief us on what happened and inform us, "there were no tears but we gave an ice pack". We also receive a follow up phone call about an hour later letting us know how they are doing. Other local daycares/preschool's in the area charge extra if your child is not potty trained by age 2. The staff here at Brighten take a team approach with you and assist in the process. The preschool aspect is incredible. Twice a year they provide you a list of what numbers, shapes, and colors they have mastered and which ones they need to work on. There is no place I can think of that genuinely cares for each and every kid they take care of and provide exceptional high level of care.

The teachers were extremely nice and friendly. The owners on the other hand are another story. I was an active military member that frequently went on deployment. And always paid on time. But one time there was a mix up with the a payment. And the 6 plus foot 300 plus pound owner and his same size sister trapped me in their office and threatened me with bodily harm. The police were involved and all of this during school hours children and teachers could hear everything and my daughter in the next room. Extremely unprofessional, and I do not recommend this facility at all.

Brighten Academy has some of the most amazing and caring teachers and directors I have met at any preschool I have come across. You can tell the teachers have a passion for educating children and making the school a warm and welcoming place.

Best preschool, company, and teachers! My son was so prepared entering 1st grade and already reading at his exit level. You can feel the love from the moment you walk in the door, and most importantly, the kids feel it too. So grateful for Brighten Academy!
