3 of our children have attended Bright Ideas and I swear to you the staff here consists of some of the most talented, KIND, LOVING, Patient and CARING group of people that we have ever been around.
They have impacted our lives and our childrens lives in ways that we can't even explain. Our children have moved on as we have moved to East Greenwich but to this day they still talk about Bright Ideas and all of the fond memories that they have there. I'm sure they will remember their teachers and experiences for life. I know we will.
WE LOVE YOU GUYS,
Love,
Ahmed, Nancy, Gabriel, Lola, Sofia, Bella and Eve!

After touring all of the other preschools on the island, it made our decision to enroll at Bright Ideas that much easier. Such an amazing school and staff! "Best Preschool" for Newport County for the 4th year, and well deserved!

There is definitely more than 30 students at this school. The school has a family atmosphere, and a curriculum that includes STEAM. They challenge the children but also provides them with a nurturing touch. The staff is fantastic

As an educator myself with a Masters Degree in Education, I can honestly say Bright Ideas is THE BEST PRESCHOOL on the island! I toured every single option and decided this was where I wanted to place my child. From their sensory bins to the songs they sing-to the art projects they make- everything is TOP NOTCH!! Every teacher is sweet, kind and PUTS THE CHILDREN FIRST!! There is a reason why they are voted #1 childcare establishment in the area!! They throw holiday parties that involve every family! We absolutely loved their Halloween Bash which had games, dancing and art projects set up for the children to partake in. The teachers have been there for years because they love what they do and where they work. I can honestly say I have yet to write a review on any site about anything. I hope this review will save other parents the headache of debating over schools- THIS IS THE PLACE YOU WANT TO BE!! I will miss this place and so will my daughter who is estatic to be dropped off and wants to stay when we pick her up! What more could you ask for as a parent?! Thank you Bright Ideas for getting it right! And special thanks to her awesome teacher Ms. Edie!

My worst experience ever with a preschool!! The teachers seem to work very well with the children but the director's personal skills and demeanor can put parents off. Kids should be the passion of all who are teaching in my opinion and unfortunately at this school - personal feelings can override what can be best for the kids which as a parent is very disturbing to see when i am trusting a child into your hands.

Bright Ideas has a fabulous staff. The teachers are enthusiastic, creative and have a sincere interest in every child there. I have been amazed at how much my child has learned at this preschool.
