I cannot speak highly enough of The Shining Stars! The staff is absolutely amazing; genuine, accommodating, and true childcare professionals. From the very beginning they made our family feel welcome and supported.

My son has grown and learned so much since starting here. I’m constantly impressed by the thoughtful activities and nurturing environment they provide. What I love most is how they encourage his creativity and allow him the freedom to express himself and simply enjoy being a kid. Knowing he’s in a place where he’s safe, loved, and thriving gives me so much peace of mind.

Thank you Shining Stars for being such a positive part of our lives! ♥️

From the moment I walked through the doors of Shining Stars Daycare, my anxieties about leaving my daughter in the care of strangers melted away. The warm, welcoming environment they've created is truly exceptional.

The staff at Shining Stars go above and beyond every single day. Their dedication to communication stands out—I receive thoughtful updates about my daughter's activities, achievements, and experiences, which helps me feel connected to her day even when we're apart.

What impresses me most is their philosophy of nurturing each child's unique personality while teaching them to respect and appreciate their peers. They've created a beautiful balance where individuality flourishes alongside community values.

My daughter has blossomed under their care. Watching her grow in confidence and social skills while being genuinely excited to attend each day is the greatest testament to the exceptional environment they've created.

Shining Stars Daycare isn't just a childcare facility—it's a second family where my child is cherished, respected, and encouraged to shine in her own special way. I couldn't imagine entrusting my daughter's care to anyone else.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My child has been attending since February of this year and all I can say is as soon as we walked in for the tour we knew this was the place for our daughter. The vibe and energy of the place is as perfect as you can possibly get for a place for your child to be cared for and also to grow and develop. Ms. Michelle and her staff go above and beyond the way they care for the littles. They have excellent engaging activities for the children to learn different motor skills, self expression, academic learning and a plethora of other activities to help the children thrive. And the meals they provide are quality home cooked nutritious meals. My child is not the most people person but she definitely is with Ms. Michelle and her staff. I have seen the progress she has made in her speech, learning and social development since attending. They also are great with communication and are also at a very affordable price. I love how Ms Michelle urged parents to apply for the childcare scholarship to help with tuition. She’s definitely a very kind and caring person who’s not just looking to drain her clients pockets with non quality childcare as I have seen from other facilities. If you need a place for your child to grow have fun and be around people who actually love and care about your child I highly recommend you take them to Shining Stars where they will most definitely shine bright. P.S. This is the first Google review I have ever written because it is actually worth the time and energy to let it be known how gracious we are to have found this place for our child.

“As a veteran dealing with PTSD, anxiety, and trust issues, finding a daycare where I feel comfortable and confident in leaving my daughter has been a challenge. The team at The Shining Star has been an absolute blessing. From the moment we stepped through the door, they have created an environment of warmth, safety, and understanding. They not only take wonderful care of my daughter, but they have also been incredibly patient and reassuring with me, always making sure I feel informed and at ease. Their compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care for each child is truly exceptional. I am so grateful for their dedication and kindness—it has made a world of difference for our family.
