"My little boy started Shining Star when he was 3, and continued up to kindergarten. I strongly feel Shining Star and their wonderful teachers work individually with each child and their needs. When George first started he didn't know how to play and interact with other kids. The teachers would patiently show him how toys work, and kindly get him involved wit..." Read more

"Can't speak enough high praises about this school. We searched high and low for a daycare and we found an extended family with SSCP. Every staff member is amazing, taking time to get to know each kid and their strengths and weaknesses!
My child has taken off and impresses me everyday with what she's learning in class!"

"It is so difficult to trust your child with someone else, but we never worried when we left our son at Shining Stars! We loved the extra programs they offered, and they put together some really sweet programs for the parents to come to as well."

"My son Lucas was in this school from last August till early this June. He and I absolutely love this school. Staffs and employees are all super friendly and nice. Ms. Dee is Lucas's teacher, and I could not have asked for a better teacher. She taught Lucas so much ranging from Math to life skills, and have prepared him ready for Kindergarten. Lucas now is an..." Read more

"I just want to say that I absolutely love this school, and all of it's employees. I never planned to send my son to daycare, but my circumstance changed and I had no other choice. The first school I sent him to was a Montessori close by, and it was an absolute nightmare - with that being said I know what it feels like to worry about my child all day, wonderi..." Read more

"This school is a real find. After spending an enormous amount of time looking for just the right school I found them. I was so impressed by them that I backed out of another school that I had already paid a non refundable deposit to. I'm big on safety and security both of which I feel are strong here. The school is part of a church but is separat..." Read more

"I have had two children attend here for many years now and can not say enough great things about it. We have had nothing but a great experience from the director on down to all the other people that work there. It is clean, secure, and the children are very well prepared for kindergarten. Not to mention the fact that it is more than competitively priced e..." Read more

"We have been a part of the Shining Stars family since 2011, and from the day we toured the preschool we have been impressed. We had toured so many preschools before finally finding this hidden gem. As soon as we walked in, we knew this was the place for our children. The facility is bright and clean, and well secured. In the past five years each of our..." Read more

"Great school. Clean and safe. Everyone knows everyone, very fun and family oriented. Love all the special extras they do like dress up days, holiday events, etc. My son went there for a year and still asks about his teacher. Sad to leave!"

"SHINING STARS STAFF IS THE BEST! My son attended for 2 years, starting at 2 1/2. As all parents can relate, you hate to let your child go! Ms. Tina was amazing with the transition and kept in constant communication to ease the separation for my son and I. She took him in as her own. Stacy and Pam run a tight ship and their efforts are appreciated and co..." Read more

"Just want to say what an AMAZING school this is. And by school I mean actual school, this is not just a daycare center! This is an educational environment staffed by people who are really and seriously passionate about teaching toddlers and pre-k. Where do I even start? This place does not even compare to the last daycare center I had my son in. The classe..." Read more
