We thank the Teachers and staff of Starlight Nursery school for the amazing years and foundation they have given Peyton.
She started with the Lady birds and grew into a beautiful butterfly. The growth and development Peyton has received at Starlight Nursery School and the journey has been amazing.
She has made many friends along this journey that she will miss. Each of them along the way has given her an addition into her personal development.
We thank the teachers for always being patient and understanding and nurturing her to be the sweet girl we love and helping to bring her out of her shell.
Thank you again for the amazing support you provided and for being so understanding. We as Peyton’s parents truly appreciate everything.

Thank you so much for having Aidan for the 3 years he was at Starlight. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and couldn’t be more thankful to be part of the Starlight family.
It’s been a learning experience, a growing and loving experience. Aidan has matured so much in the care of your staff!
Thank you to you and your staff for loving Aidan.

I just wanted to say a big Thank You to you and your team. Cayde was a shy little boy when he started in 2021 and now is confident, outspoken and independent and so willing to learn new things.
He was really lucky to have such awesome teachers. Today he walked into his new class with so much confidence, and I believe that without Starlight that would not have been the case.
Keep up the good work and all of the best to everyone at Starlight. May you continue to grow from strength to strength.”

My son has been attending since he is two and is graduating this year. Starlight has been so nurturing and patient with helping my little man grow. Everyone is always a phone call a way and I always get updates incase my son is having a bad day.
For the smallest incident, there is a report of what happened and everyone is easily reachable should I have any questions. I’d recommend Starlight for anyone who would like extra care for their kids & believe it’s likely better care then any Nurseries my son has attended. Thank you so much for caring and loving my son as much as I do!

We would like to express our utmost happiness and gratitude as parents for the exceptional care and nurturing that Starlight Nursery has provided to our children since the tender age of one. It is with great joy that we reflect on the milestones and growth our children have experienced under the capable hands of your dedicated staff.
From the moment we enrolled our children at Starlight starting with our daughter and now ending with our son, we were and still are impressed by the warm and welcoming environment. The love and dedication shown by the teachers and staff are truly remarkable. Their passion for early childhood education is evident in every interaction, and their commitment to the well-being and development of each child is unmatched.
Our children have flourished in their time at Starlight, the nurturing and supportive atmosphere has allowed them to grow both academically and emotionally. The curriculum and activities provided stimulate their curiosity, creativity, and we are parents are kept up to date on their daily routines and themes for the weeks and months. We have witnessed firsthand the excitement in their eyes as they share stories of their day at school.
Beyond the educational aspect, we are grateful for the emphasis placed on character development and social skills. Our children have learned the importance of kindness, empathy, and respect for others. They have formed lasting friendships with their peers, and we have seen their confidence and self-esteem soar as they actively participate in group activities and express themselves freely.
The open lines of communication, regular updates, and parent-teacher meetings have allowed us to be actively involved in our children’s education. We appreciate the willingness of the teachers and staff to listen to our concerns, address any issues promptly, and work collaboratively with us to ensure the best possible outcomes for our children.
As parents, it brings us immeasurable joy to see our children happy and thriving in an environment that truly cares for their well-being. The love, patience, and guidance provided by the teachers and staff have made a significant impact on our lives.
We wholeheartedly recommend Starlight to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching early childhood education experience.
We are forever grateful to Starlight Nursery for the positive impact you have had on our family.

“We made the decision to switch playschools when our eldest son was 3 and we have no regrets! Now both our kids are happy and thriving. They’re the first to run into school every morning. Thanks Starlight for creating a home away from home for our kids.”
