"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

"The entire staff at this school is very nice, caring and courteous. I could not ask really for anything more. My son has gone here for the last 2 years or so even during his transition to potty training. 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

"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

"As a mom who has worked with many children, preschools, and teachers professionally, I was looking for a very specific school for my toddler. First, the staff: once I met the director, Stacy, she put me at ease right away, explaining the benefits of placing my son into school. She was very knowledgeable and personable. 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

"All 3 of my children attend Shining Stars Christian Preschool. It is an amazing place! My oldest son had been there for over 3 years. He has been assessed and been "promoted" to higher classes as warranted. They consistently have caring, intelligent teachers who keep my kids motivated and above their "grade" level. Each class has a teacher and an assi..." Read more

"My son and I love this school very much. But he'll leave this school in two weeks because our new jobs are too far away and we don't have time to pick up him. I even don't know how to tell him that he cannot go to this school any more. He must be very sad. My son is three years old now and he did not speak English before joining this school. However, the tea..." Read more
