"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

"My 5 year old just transitioned into Kinder and my 3 year old is still there. They love it! The staff is wonderful. They are super organized and the facilities are always clean. They offer a number of great activities like yoga, music or soccer. They also plan some fun events throughout the year like a "drive-in" movie day, Easter Egg Hunt with an Easter Bun..." Read more

"Our precious Lily attended Shining Star from 3 years old to 5 years old. We looked at five other preschools before finding Shining Star. They all looked real nice on the outside but had a closed door ,cold policy. Not a shining star, it is a warm , safe , loving environment. The staff is so wonderful. Stacy and Pam keep the school running so smooth. T..." Read more

"My son has been going here for 3 years. He is now going to kindergarten, so sadly has to leave. Shining Stars is a quality daycare. The site is clean and safe. As your child grows and goes to a new class, there is consistency with the quality care provided. That is so important to me as I am always worried about a change when he starts a new class after lovi..." Read more

It was very hard for him to get adjusted in the beginning but he has really taken to the program and enjoys going to school now. There is a good sch..." Read more

"My son attended Shining Stars Christian for 2 1/2 years. The decision to move him was heartbreaking - my employment location moved and I kept driving 20 miles out of my way so he could continue at Shining Stars. I was so confident in the care he was receiving that I maintained this schedule for several months!The staff is caring, educated, and consis..." Read more

"My son went here for about a year. Overall the staff is caring but the lack of organization and communication at this school led us to leave. The focus on learning preschool skills also seemed to be lacking. As soon as I moved my son to another nearby school he totally blossomed and starting writing letters and spelling. I also was not keen that I asked abo..." Read more

"I absolutely LOVE this school! We started my daughter here when she was 18 months old (a little over a year ago). Mrs. Yami is the teacher for that age & I promise you will not be disappointed if your child is in her class! She goes above & beyond with everything. She truly loves the kids in her class & treats them as if they were her own. S..." Read more

I can tell right away that the staf..." Read more

"This school has been a Godsend for our son. He had been having serious behavior issues for over a year and had been expelled from several preschools before I came to speak to the director. She felt that they may be able to work with him and agreed to give it a try. He certainly has had his challenges over the past year, but the director, his teacher Mrs. Ter..." Read more
