Bright Start Academy O'Fallon

We love BSA O’Fallon! My kids adore their teachers. We are lucky to have found such a wonderful center after relocating here from out of state!

I have a 2 & 4 year old in this center and absolutely love it. They are excited to come to school and are both excelling. My 2 year olds class works on things like potty training, basic Spanish words, counting, manners, cleaning up after himself, and so much more. His verbal skills have drastically increased since attending this daycare. My 4 year olds class works hard on activities such as writing words/their name, coloring in the lines, serving themselves during meal times, and even important things such as how to dial 911! We are more than impressed with Bright Start Academy.

My 4mo old is in the infant room at this location and I love her teachers. They communicate well and on a professional level. All the staff that I have met since she started at the beginning of they year have been very welcoming, caring, and professional. The teachers are on top of putting all of her activities into the school app so that I can keep track of my daughters day. Especially as a first time mom, this helps me feel a little more relaxed while I am at work. I use to work at a daycare so I had high standards when choosing a daycare for my child, and this location met all of my needs. However, the only thing I have an issue with is that I would like to see more pictures of my daughter throughout the day, or at least once a day. That was a big selling point for me, and something that they talked up, but seems to be falling short in that area. Otherwise I am very happy with her being at this location. She loves her teachers, and I’m very comfortable at work knowing she is in their care.

We have had the best experience with Bright Start Academy! Looking for daycare for my then 6 month old daughter was one of the most stressful things I've ever done. No where seemed good enough and so many places just seemed money hungry. From the moment I walked into bright starts, they focused in on my daughter and her needs. Tuition was the last thing we talked about.(and it's very affordable) Since then they have gone above and beyond my expectations with caring for my daughter. She does art projects, they get pictures of her playing and the staff has bent over backwards to make sure she is getting everything she needs. Coming from out of state, finding somewhere we could trust was very important. I have absolutely no reservations dropping her off in the morning, and with how darn picky I am, that's a big deal.

This is a great school, and it doesn't have all the problems that many other high schools do. The students actually care about their futures for the most part, as there is only minor bullying and other infractions. Drugs and smoking are referenced by students but not common by any means. Not many students can say truthfully that they are smoking etc.
