Important Message Regarding COVID-19
Dear Star Preschool Families,
Through hope, determination, and perseverance we are writing to you today. These past few months have been devasting for many across the country and around the world. Our hearts go out to those who are most in need. We don’t know how long this will last or what the new normal will be, but we are hopeful and ready to start living again. We realize many of you are going through your own hardships and we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Due to government orders related to COVID-19 and to safeguard the health and well-being of our staff, families, and community, we have committed to strict guidelines. We realize that safe and reliable childcare is critical to keeping our economy going, as many of our parents are essential workers and continue to serve the community during this difficult time. For almost a decade we have been providing exceptional early education and care. Our passion and commitment to children is unwavering. We do not have factories, or warehouses, or real estate holdings. We do not manage portfolios or produce software. We are a family business. Our product is the care and the relationships that we develop with our children and families we serve. Our team is our everything! We have such hardworking, dedicated, and caring teachers who care for kiddos face to face every day to help them learn and grow into better humans.
Our staff are the heart of our school. We are a family and are working hard to take care of them by putting all our resources back into the school. We want to do our part during these hard times and do everything we can to help support these families and those who are in need. No matter what the state mandates, we plan on exceeding expectations to keep our schools safe and operational.
Our Texas Bright Star Academy school has remained open. We have put additional safety measures in place to ensure the health and wellbeing of the children and teachers. Our Massachusetts Little Stars Learning Center has been operating as an Emergency Child Care Provider and although we are closed for normal school operations, we are open to those families who are essential workers and need care. Our new school in Plymouth is still under construction and scheduled to open in the Fall. Several safety features have been added as the pandemic has shown us better ways to design our school for the new normal. Safety has always been our number one priority. Providing the best, unrivaled service for our children, families, and staff is our mission. We take pride that our services can give back to the community.
It is almost impossible to fathom that we have reached this point. Just a few months ago, life was normal. Some of you are wondering what you can do to help and we appreciate that very much. Your continued support is priceless. For the families who stayed at home to help flatten the curve, thank you for your sacrifice. Your commitment to staying enrolled and continuing to pay tuition for care helps us employ and compensate our teachers. We also want you to know that during this unprecedented time we have and will stay strong, resilient, optimistic. Once we overcome this pandemic; we will come back better than ever.
Please keep yourself and your loved ones healthy and safe. We look forward to resuming normal operations soon!
Sending Our Best,
Sydney and Tonya Stump

what our parents are saying...
As a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than to see your child confidently walk to their classroom and almost forget to hug you goodbye because they're ready to play and learn.
That's what Bright Star has given our family in such a short time, and that's what they give every family.
Everyone - the directors, the admin staff, the teachers, the chef, the nurse, and even the amazing maintenance man...they all care deeply about their job and their role in creating the perfect learning environment for my son.
And as for us as parents, they are transparent and dedicated to making us feel like we're a part of their family too.
There's an app that allows us to check in and see pictures and little anecdotes about the day. It allows us to know what he's learning, so we can sing the same songs, sign the same signs, and genuinely feel like we were a part of his day.
There's even an ESA, which my son loves because who doesn't love dogs!?
Every time I see someone in search of a daycare I recommend Bright Star.
They gave us the most precious gift a working parent could ever ask for: a happy son and the knowledge that he's loved and cared for even when we're not there.
Thank you, Bright Star! We love you guys.
