Quality Child Care, Academic Adventures
Brighton Day Academy provides quality child care and preschool academics in a convenient location on State Road 16. Our child care program provides the highest quality of academics, focusing on enhancing the young minds of our children, not just by teaching them to learn, but by empowering them with skills to learn. We recognize that every child is different, with unique gifts and skills and encourage every child to recognize their strengths and learn new things every day. Our program ensures that your infant through school-age child will get the best care and learning experience possible.
School Readiness
At Brighton Day Academy, school readiness begins early. In our infant room, teachers engage the babies with reading, singing and other activities. Our toddlers and preschool children are prepared for their eventual move to the VPK classroom where there is more structured learning. Our VPK students have consistently scored 100% on school-readiness tests. When they leave our program, they are more than ready for the academic rigors of kindergarten and beyond.

Some Comments from Parents

Kristina Showers - December 18, 2017 After being that mom that swore she would never put her kids in daycare, life happened. My youngest started at Brighton day in November and I couldn't be more thankful for them. They have the most kind hearted, loving, giving staff. I was in a horrible car accident and they instantly made sure my family and my sweet little boy were comforted. I've never met such a wonderful group of people to make me feel like family. Love them !! Thank you !!

Literally the best decision I had made when it came to choosing a facility for my son. He wakes up exited to go to school and learn . Mrs. Tracy is truly an angel. God bless her . She has not only been understanding, but gracious in many ways, especially over this past year with changes in my household . Thank you again everyone here at Brighton Day, Mrs. Gina, Mrs. Donna and Mrs. Stephanie. I know i have had shared with you guys many times, but the time you guys put in into teaching not just my child but many others is very much appreciated. You spend more time with our children then we do so we can provide and I cant thank you guys enough.

In the last two years of having my children at Brighton Day, I have had nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Ms.Gena and Ms.Kesha have formed a bond with my son and I feel blessed to have them as his teachers. Ms.Teresa and Ms.Sharon were fantastic with my older son, teaching him the basics in VPK and frequently sending home completed projects and worksheets, thanks to them he built the foundation to learn in kindergarten. Ms.Tracy at the front desk is very helpful, understanding and friendly. I am thankful for the familiar faces that bring us comfort throughout the day.

Our son has been going to Mr. Dons daycares since he was 6 months old. Mr Don and Mrs Tracy are incredibly understanding. All the teachers are really awesome. Our son has been flourishing so much since he has been there. He loves his class and he loves his teachers Ms Kristen and Ms Nicole. Thank you all for all the dedication and hard work!! Keep it up

My son Mason is 5 years old and attends Brighton Day Academy for VPK. Ms. Teresa and Ms. Abby are the best! Mason loves them so much. He always gives them hugs when he arrives and when he leaves. They are like family to him. When I come to pick him up he does not want to leave and he amazes me with something new he learns every day. I would recommend Brighton Day Academy to anyone looking for a great place to have their kids learn. The facility is brand new and beautiful and the atmosphere is so welcoming.

My Daughter Brighton has been at Brighton Day Academy since August and has been in Ms. Mandi and Ms. Nicole's Class the last few months. Initially we chose Brighton Day for our son as they provided transportation from his elementary school for aftercare. We fell in love with the Staff and the Facility so much that we enrolled our Daughter there as well. We could not be happier with our decision. All of the teachers and front office staff are extremely nice always greeting everyone with a smile and are extremely accommodating. Brighton Loves her teachers and doesn't scream when we drop her off (HUGE PLUS). She has a blast playing with her friends. I can tell she is well cared for and is beginning to develop a wider vocabulary as well as some sign language which is always cool. Thank you for being amazing and loving what you do it really shows.

We absolutely LOVE Brighton Day Academy! When we moved here 3 years ago, I was nervous about placing my child in a daycare where I didn't know anyone. After the tour, I knew my daughter was in great hands. Kylin started at Brighton Day when she was 10 months, and was spoiled from Day 1 by her teacher Ms. Cydney. She always went above and beyond to make sure Kylin was always taken care of. Ms. Cydney now takes care of my youngest daughter Kayler, and she is just as kind and loving as she was when Kylin was in the baby room. If you are looking for your child to be loved and taken care of, I highly recommend Brighton Day Academy!!

My son Kye is 2 now and has been going to Brighton following big sister's steps. Tracy and Heather at the front desk have always been wonderful. Mr. Joe is a favorite of Kye's, or "Uncle Joe". But no one more than his four girlfriends Sydney (his soulmate no doubt), Gena, Jennifer and Emily. They are such a great team and it's so wonderful to go to work and trust my child will be safe and happy. BEST DAYCARE EVER!

My children have attended Crowned Hart preschools since they were 6 weeks and 2 years old. They are now 7 and 9. We started at Brandt's but we moved across town and have been at Brighton Day for the last few years. My children are cared for by a variety of people at Brighton Day. It starts in the morning with Ms.Cydney and Ms.Lesley who provide them with a nice hot breakfast. They then spend part of the morning with Ms. Donna, who gets their mind going and ready for a great day at school. Ms.Carol takes them to school and picks them up from school. In the afternoon Ms.Jennifer, Mr.Joe and Ms.Mimi are always there. They help with homework and whatever else they need. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I can honestly say I have been blessed with the best village of people. It is a great feeling knowing that my children have such wonderful people around them daily. Thank you Mr.Don, Ms.Tracy and all of the wonderful staff at Brighton Day!

We have been taking our kids to Brighton Day since 2016 and we love that place! They are so accommodating and always greet the kids by their names. Our kids are 2 and 4. Mrs. Teresa and Mrs. Abby are awesome VPK teachers for our 4 year old. They make learning fun for her! My 2 year old loves his teachers Mrs. Jenn and Ms. Emily! Honorable mentions over the years are Ms. Gena, Mrs. Kristen, Mrs. Leslie, Ms. Donna, Ms. Susie and Ms. Nicole. So many wonderful people work there and genuinely have a love for children. We highly recommend Brighton Day!

My son has been going to Brighton Day Academy for about a year now. Every morning my son is excited for school, Ms.Lesley and Ms.Gena start his morning off great, I love how first thing in the morning they are so cheerful and ready to go, it really sets the tone for his day! This year he is in VPK and loves his teachers Mrs.Teresa and Ms.Abby. They do such an outstanding job of teaching the kids while making learning fun! The directors are amazing! Ms.Tracy, Ms.Heather, and Ms.Kirstyn do such a great job. And for it being such a large school it always impresses me how they really know and care for each and every child. Also for me cleanliness at a child care facility is so important. So, I really appreciate how clean and fresh the place always looks, you can always spy Mr.Joe working hard to keep the center looking excellent! Thank you Brighton day!

Highly recommend Brighton Day! From the Director to Teachers the staff is amazing and they treat each family as an extension of their own. I have been overwhelmed by the degree at which they are accommodating, caring and supportive. My 2 year old son loves Ms Gena, and so do we! He asks for her on the weekends and is excited to see her each morning. She nurtures, educates and cares for him each day. Brighton Day provides a high quality, clean and caring home away from home. We love Brighton Day and I’ve never felt more secure about my child’s development for the time he isn’t with me then I do here.

Brighton Day Academy has been fantastic since day one for us! We enrolled our son, Hunter (4 y/o then) right before they opened the first phase of the new building. Being there to see the roll out of the second phase and how appreciate the staff is of the upgrades has been wonderful. Now that Hunter is 5 years old, he's in VPK with Ms. Christina and Ms. Sharon. They are simply fabulous - they devote so much of their personal time and money into making sure their students have the best of everything. Their communication with us as parents has been wonderful, even allowing us to request a conference to make sure we understood our son's needs. Extra shouts out to Ms. Tracy, Ms. Heather, Ms. Kirstyn, Mr. Joe, and the rest of the team who always treat our son like one of their own!

Being a first time mom, I was hesitant at the daycare aspect for my daughter. After taking a tour, my anxiety had eased. My daughter began going to Brighton Day when she was 3 months old. She is now almost 3 years old and I could not have been happier with my decision! She loves going to school! Every morning she gets excited to see previous teachers Cydney, Nicole, Kristen, and Lesley...along with other staff members that she sees daily. Janna absolutely LOVES her current teacher Ms. Gena! Since being in her class, she has grown into such a smart, independent girl with a big personality and talks about Gena constantly! Gena’s love and compassion truly shows in what she does. She treats Janna as if she was her own. I don’t have enough words to describe my appreciation for all that she does for our child! Gena is just simply amazing!! I cannot stress enough about how happy I am with my decision to place her at Brighton Day! Thank you to everyone for all you do!

Paisley (2 YO) absolutely adores Ms. Emmy! She always comes home and says "Emmy loves me". I am so incredibly thankful that Ms. Emmy makes our girl feel so loved, comfortable and safe when we aren't around! Ms. Emmy always gives us a report on how her day went. Ms. Emmy is the best! Truthfully, the entire staff at Brighton is amazing. They are always accommodating and attentive. They all know each child by name when they walk in the door. Every child is equally important and special. Thank you Brighton for giving this mama a sense of security when I am away.

Brighton Day Academy is a fantastic school. My son Ayden started in August 2019 for VPK. I wasn't sure how he would react to starting and being around new kids and his teachers, but he loves it. He is so excited to go to school every morning and he has learned so much! I'm so impressed when he comes home and shows me knew things he learned at school. With my son being behind with his speech Ms. Christina and Ms. Sharon are patient and wonderful teachers. Thank you so much for that. The school also has very good security with special keys to get in the main office and where the children's classrooms are.

My Daughter Aiyana has been going to the school since last summer. Ms Tracy welcomed us with a great tour and is very helpful! She started off in Ms Donna and Ms Suzie’s class, they both loved her so much and taught her a lot! They are 2 amazing teachers. She still loves going back to their classroom to visit them! She has since moved on to Ms Cristina and Ms Sharon’s VPK classroom which has been a great transition. She has been doing amazing and I love the activities and field trip that they have had this year. We look forward to what the teachers have planned for the rest of the year!!

My son Luke has been attending Brighten Day Academy for a little over a month now, and from the little time he has been attending day care here I can honestly say I love this school. From being a new mom and scared to have someone else watch my son this place has really done a excellent job and assuring me my son is well cared for here. The first day I went in for a tour it smelled so clean and everyone was so nice. Ms Kristen, Ms. Heather, Ms Teresa answered all my crazy new mom questions and walked me through the application processes so smoothly. As for Lukes teachers Ms Mandrea, Ms Mari and Ms Bree have been a blessing to me and my son from the beginning. They always let me know how my sons day went and the foods he loves to eat. He loves going to day care and always happy to see them. I have seen a great change in my sons development. They do such a great job with the way they care and teach the kids here. I am so blessed to have found an amazing daycare for my son. An thank you to all the staff for all you do for the kids and keeping the place so nice, clean, and safe. I believe it is Mr Joe the maintenance man who keeps everything in line and secure. Thank you too!

My daughter Keira started her journey at Brighton Day when she turned one in Ms. Nicole and Ms. Kristen's class. When it was time for her to transition to the older ones class we requested her to stay with them since they treated her with such love and care. Now that Keira is two she has moved up to Ms. Gena's class. There is no question that she is as loving and caring. Keira is excited about school every morning! My son Enrique, 7, is in their extended day program. He is always telling me how much he likes Mr. Joe and Ms. Jennifer. Mr. Joe stopped and bought him a jacket one day when he was cold and Ms. Jennifer always helps him with his homework. I am so grateful to know that my children are in such loving capable hands at Brighton Day!
