Testimonials

"Mrs. Shay and Bright Beginnings truly is one of the best preschools and holds such a special place in my heart. Her preschool is a beautiful symphony of free play, creativity, artistic exploration, and educational prep for Kindergarten. She has a calm and very nurturing presence about her that I think kids gravitate to and feel safe with, but she also demands control in her class and does a beautiful job of implementing her rules and regulation. I love her willingness to do evaluations, send home books to get them reading, offer monthly optional homework, and any other support you wish or need to have. Her gradations are 2nd to NONE! They are simple and meaningful. The binders she gives at the end for each kid are absolutely priceless!!! I feel so blessed to have had 2 of my 4 kids go through her preschool. I cant say enough things about Bright Beginnings! She truly loves each kid and you can tell she loves what she does!" Shelby Hale

"Ms. Shay at Bright Beginnings was a wonderful preschool teacher for our two daughters. She is both kind, and knows how to control a classroom full of small children. She is aware of each child’s needs, and helps them individually with those needs. Not only is she knowledgeable with years of experience, she runs a great program! Our daughters both loved Ms. Shay, and her preschool!" Ashley Scholes

"We LOVE Bright Beginnings! Shay, Kaelani, & Kami are all so kind, welcoming, & very loving to all of the kids. My son begs every day to go to preschool! He loves being in their classroom and has learned so much!" Courtney Bullock

"I had the opportunity to enroll both of my daughters in Bright Beginnings preschool, each for two years. A true testament of a company is when you look forward to coming back! Shay, Kami, and Kaelani have so much love and care for these children. They have a positive, fun, age-focused learning environment that made my children look forward to preschool every time. They set goals and help the kiddos excel throughout the year while still having fun and allowing the kids to explore their own creativity. It’s been nothing but a pleasant experience, all 4 years! I always recommend them to anyone I can."

Our family feels incredibly lucky to have found Bright Beginnings, where both our son and daughter each spent two amazing years. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with so much care, and a genuine love for our babies. 

Shay and her other teachers are truly exceptional. They created an environment where our children felt safe, nurtured, and encouraged to grow—not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. It was clear from day one that they cared deeply about each child's development, and they poured their hearts into what they did every single day.

Thanks to their guidance and dedication, both of our children graduated preschool with a strong foundation in structure, reading, and learning. They left confident, curious, and more than ready for Kindergarten! We truly believe that so much of their early success is owed to the love and support they received at this cute little preschool.

Thank you, Shay and the other wonderful teachers, for giving our kids such a joyful and meaningful start to their educational journey."

"I can’t say enough good words about Shay and her team at the preschool. Shay truly loves my little guy and he knows it. I was so nervous to send my son to preschool and she made me feel comfortable and more importantly him feel comfortable and safe. I can’t recommend Shay’s preschool enough. My son is doing so well with his learning and is the most confident I have seen him. 10/10 for Shay and her team! Thanks for talking such good care of my son. "

"All 3 of my kids have gone to Preschool at Bright Beginnings. They have different personalities, different needs and different abilities. Miss Shay has been able to teach each of them according to their needs and I’ve seen them grow academically as well as socially and emotionally. They loved going to school each day, and always knew that Miss Shay would welcome them with love and a happy smile! 

We love going to Bright Beginnings!" Jamie Hutchison

"I had heard so many great things about Shay, and her preschool Bright Beginnings from neighbors and friends. I’m so glad I listened to them, my daughter Eden went for 2 years, and had a great experience, she wasn’t the greatest talker when she started but Shay was so supportive and Eden caught right on, and was able to learn all of her letter counting and more even with the interruption of Covid during my daughters last year. 

Our experience was so great that we decided to have our son also attend Bright beginnings when he turned 4 and as always loved Shay and Mrs Kami so much, he still talks about how much he misses it there. Such kind and supportive teachers, my shy boy was very tender hearted, got overwhelmed easily and by the time we reached the preschool graduation was suddenly the class clown. 

I can truly tell Shay loves what she does, and is so welcoming and loving of all the children she teaches, always very helpful with any concerns I had for my kids, and always had my children where they needed to be for kindergarten!" Cassandra Scheifl

"Bright Beginnings has been one of the best experiences for my kids. Not only did they continue to grow academically, but their confidence also grew. Ms. Shay gives her all and she genuinely loves the kids she teaches. It’s not just a job to her, it’s her passion." Leeann Tenney

​

"Bright Beginnings Preschool has truly been a blessing for our family! My twins have attended for the past two years, and it’s been a wonderful experience from start to finish. The teachers are not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also deeply caring and attentive. What impressed us most was how they took the time to truly understand each of our boys as individuals. They nurtured their unique personalities, helped them build confidence, and guided them in developing strong social skills. Thanks to their thoughtful approach, our boys grew to love school—and even learned to read before starting kindergarten! The team at Bright Beginnings clearly knows what they’re doing. Their passion, expertise, and dedication shine through in everything they do. We couldn’t be more grateful for the positive foundation they’ve given our children."

"When the teacher retired that my two oldest went to I didn’t know what I was going to do with my two youngest. Thankfully, I saw someone recommend Bright Beginnings and it has been the best thing for our family! Shay and her team are so great with the kids. My kids grew in confidence, learned how to work with their peers, and were SO prepared for kindergarten. I can’t recommend Bright Beginnings enough!" Alex Payne
