Extended Learning Beyond The School Day

Planned Daily Activities Enhance Knowledge

Expansive specialty classrooms allow for enrichment opportunities in art, science, home economics, media and drama. Planned daily activities provide enhanced knowledge and understanding through a variety of hands-on projects that your Adventure Star will participate in as they rotate between the different classrooms.

"They gave us the most precious gift a working parent could ever ask for"

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.

"There is also an app that the teachers document diapers/potty, meals, naps and even pictures"

We LOVE Star Preschools! When we lived in San Antonio before moving to the Austin area, we took our daughter to a daycare there where unfortunately we learned that you get what you pay for.

"they have an actual CURRICULUM; the teachers are INVESTED"

"The school is so organized with their lesson plans and theme days"

The teachers are top notch! The facility is bright and fun. I love that they get to spend time in the library, theatre room, art room and cafeteria instead of staying in one classroom the whole day.

"I love the reports and pictures I receive from the teachers throughout the week"

We appreciate how clean the school is kept, and for us, that is a huge plus. It is so difficult to keep germs under control with kids, so we are happy the school makes an extra effort to keep the facility clean.

"We are so happy that Starboard Academy opened up in Plymouth!"

We couldn't imagine another facility being so considerate and conscientious about mackenzie's food allergies. You have gone above and beyond to make sure mackenzie has healthy meals, snacks, and treats that she can enjoy safely.
We can't say enough good thing and this card isn't big enough. We love the communication, photos and updates from the Kangarootime App. Both of my kids have grown so much and excited more than we could have imagined. Mackenzie comes home singing a new song each week, and can even identify some letters and numbers and she's not even yet! Jamison can identify all of his letters and numbers in reading and writing and knows his letter sounds. He is really going to miss your school, especially the infamous PIRATE SHIP PLAYGROUND. Thank you for all you have done!

What Our Parents Are Saying...
"They care for your kid(s) as if they are their own"
Amazing Day Care and After School Program Day Care Facility. All the staff go above and beyond to take great care of the children. I'm extremely happy with their services. My son loves going to BrightStar for after school day care program and full time during Summer. What i love the most about Brighstar and what sets them apart from any other day care facilities are, 1. They have outstanding programs filled with field trips and swimming and other activities in the summer that keep the kids on their toes and allow them to have a great summer 2. All staff are very proactive and go above and beyond trying to accommodate to your needs even if it's last minute 3. They care for your kid(s) as if they are their own Handsdown the best day care in town. Couldn't be happier with them.

"Brightstar is hands down THE BEST! "
We love Brightstar! Our son attends for after-school care during the school year. While he doesn’t appreciate having to do his reading and homework there after school, we LOVE that the school influences the work to get done! We also love the Summer day camp that the school offers. Each week has a theme with fun activities and off-site field trips planned around each theme! Since moving here in 2015 our son has been to three different competitor daycare facilities. Brightstar is hands down THE BEST! We appreciate all that they do, especially Ms Kirstin!

"Thank you for taking care of and loving our little girl!"
I just want to say how much we appreciate the Summer Camp teachers. On day one of camp, our daughter told my husband “I had so much fun, I almost forgot it was my first day!” We feel so blessed to have a safe, fun, and loving place to send our daughter each day. The other day, I told her – even if I didn’t have to go to work, there’s no way I would have been creative enough to come up with all these amazing activities and field trips! She’s so lucky to have you, and so are we! Thank you for taking care of and loving our little girl! We couldn’t be happier to be back with our Bright Star family for the Summer!
