Make a Difference
Are you ready to make a difference in the lives of children, and join a winning team? We are the best early childhood program in the area and we only hire the best. We are always looking to add talented, energetic, positive, honest, and fun people to our team. Young or old, if you have the stuff, we’ll know it. Negative people, gossipers, and whiners need not apply. Must be an outstanding communicator and rapport-builder with parents.
If the following statements resonate with you, come see us immediately….
- You MUST love to give hugs, wipe boogers, hold a crying toddler, get a dental inspection by a two year old, have pretend conversation “on the phone” into a block, and most of all eat pretend food like a champ!
- You must have a strong stomach and be able to handle smells. The ability to identify immediately who the smell is coming from is a MAJOR BONUS and will save lots of time and energy in the long run. With this you will also develop a high level of comfort talking about bodily functions. Don’t worry, this is normal!
- You must not take yourself too seriously. If you can engage 10 two year olds at the same time, you will look ridiculous, but it will all be worth it because they stopped what they were doing to watch you… MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
- You must be able to sing “Let it Go”, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, and any other songs requested by your kiddos. Your tune is not important, your performance is everything!
- You must be able to see and count a sea of moving heads instantaneously and locate anyone playing hide and seek by themselves (or with an imaginary friend).
- You must be able to read a story while one child crawls in your lap, another tries to grab the book, and another one is telling you a completely different story. The ability to read in different accents and dialects is a major bonus as it will keep them engaged long enough for your co-teacher to get diaper changes done!
- You must be able to identify and remember the names of 20+ kids, parents, grandparents, blankies, coats, socks, hair bows, and any other item that has ever walked in your classroom instantly and know the location. Don’t worry we know this is not something you will be able to do on day one, day two however is another story.
- You must be able to handle a meltdown and interpret crying, pointing, and lots of emotions to figure out what happened, all while making sure the rest of the class is ok. Multi-tasking is a LIFESAVER!
- You must be comfortable navigating on the floor, sitting at a desk and chairs that is a foot off the ground, crawling through a tunnel to save a scared child, and of course using tot sized toys!
- You must be prepared to laugh, love, and learn more about children than you ever have. This is by far one of the most joyous places to work, but you must be prepared to accept the challenges and benefits this job has to offer. Yes, you will have many days where you go home utterly exhausted, but you can’t wait to go the next day and try that amazing Pinterest project you found about Minions, because of course Minions are all the rage in your class.
Brainy Kids Place has a Supply Closet filled with supplies for art, science, books, themes, bulletin boards, cooking and many other supplies. If we don’t have it, just request it and we can get it for you. Teachers are provided with curriculum as a blueprint but encouraged to personalize their classrooms, lesson plans, and activities. All classrooms are provided with tablets to communicate with parents and to research classroom ideas. We want our teachers to succeed.
Are you ready? Apply today online or in person at Brainy Kids Place
P.S. This should go without saying, but please do not apply if…
- You have no way to get to work consistently or if you have to pick up or drop off others during your work hours.
- Nothing is ever your fault. At your last job, everyone else was the problem, but you did nothing wrong. (This may need to make you re-think your ability to have a job)
- You know everything, are an expert at your job after one day, or don’t need anyone else’s advice.
- You are unable to talk and work at the same time and your cell phone is attached to you at all times.
- You have no alarm clock and regularly oversleep. If you forget to come back after lunch, that will also be a problem.

They Care For Her Like Their Own

“I have loved Brainy Kids since the day I walked in. When I went in to sign Auburn up for daycare, I was welcomed by Melanie and right then I felt at ease. They have an awesome security system that makes me comfortable knowing she is safe while I am gone. Auburn was 7 weeks old when I had to return to work and it was very rough but with the help of her teachers, Pam and Stacey, they put my mind to rest knowing she was taken care of. They take care of her like their own and I love that they show me pictures of her throughout the day and they let me know her eating schedule so I can keep up with her. She even does little arts and crafts that I love! I would highly recommend Brainy Kids Place to anyone looking for a safe and loving daycare!”

“I just wanted to share my testimonial with you.. Brainy Kids Place is an amazing child care facility! I feel very comfortable to leave my daughter in their care while my husband and I are working. From the very beginning, even when it was difficult for me to leave my daughter for the first time, to each and every day for over a year later I still feel the same way. They truly are a second family to my daughter! It is not just her teacher who knows and takes care of my daughter, all of the teachers know her name and make sure to say hi or bye, or talk to her throughout the day. Her classroom teacher is the BEST teacher I could ever ask for! Her teacher has nothing but love for each and every child that is a part of her classroom. Her classroom routines are amazing that my daughter knows what to expect each and everyday! Her teacher also incorporates so many hands-on learning activities, that I know she works very hard to plan and organize to make each day a great day of learning. I feel so blessed to have her teacher love and teach my little girl while I cannot. I also enjoy how I can receive pictures and updates from meals, to potty breaks, to what they learn in class everyday. They do a great job of keeping me informed, which makes me feel even more comfortable that I am apart of my daughters school day even when I cannot be with her. The entire school is excellent at communicating with me each and every day! I love both directors, and how they listen and make sure everyone at the school is safe! I could not be happier with my choice for my daughter to be at Brainy Kids Place!!!”

“We moved to Santa Fe in October 2016 I was just three months away from giving birth to my first child and a lot was going on. One of the things we had to do at this time was choose a daycare! I dreaded this moment, how could I trust anybody but myself to watch my daughter? That was my responsibility. Should I just stay home? No not possible that would slow me down in a career path that I had been working so hard for. What was the point of all those struggles in college if I didn’t stick to my path? But my child needed me!
The comparisons:
We made our first visit to a very well-reviewed daycare in League City. Yes this daycare was beyond what I could have wanted or needed. Security system great staff seemed ok, but the price oh my I have never expected to pay that much about $220 a week insane! The second daycare we visited one that was lead in the faith and tied into a church, again seemed great price was good the $160-$180 range but wait you don’t make them lunch and I have to pack it every day! No thanks! Third daycare we visited good price range a little under the other two but once we entered we were not impressed at all! It seemed filthy and un-organized I was defiantly not taking my daughter to this place no way!
Find the right one: (Brainy Kids Place)
The fourth place we visited in Santa Fe and right down the road from our new house! Halfway between my work and my husbands. Not sure why we didn’t just start in this location from the beginning. We rang the bell and were greeted by a pleasant lady at the front that we all know and love now. We were walked thru the policies and given a tour, ok this place isn’t bad. Lots of activates the kids look happy the teacher look engaged. Yes this feels very comfortable. That was it, I was done looking let me pay my deposit on get on the list.
The time has come:
Very nervous to drop off Beretta my daughter for her first day. She was 11 weeks old (April 2017) and she was one of the smaller babies. I brought all the needs watched her for a good twenty minutes, cried on the other side of the door and then made my way out. Within an hour I received a smiling picture of her on her first day. The week followed still difficult to drop her off each day. The weeks went by and it got easier and easier. She was loved she was happy and she was protected. Ms. Julie the infant teacher at the time was perfect. She kept open communication on what Beretta needed from going up in size on diapers to maybe having more to drink throughout the day. Me being a new parent and my own mother living two states away this was very helpful and made me feel good to have Beretta there.
Growing up Brainy:
Photos and updated kept coming in. Her social skills improved in no time she was in the mover’s room! We love Ms. Kaycee from watching Beretta in the Movers room some to taking her in the morning time at drop off always a big greeting and willingness to make my daughter comfortable with starting the day. That’s not just this one teacher though that’s all the teachers! Each teacher if they are hers or not go out of their way to try to make my daughter feel comfortable. She moved into the bigger room not sure of the name at about 16 months old this is the room she is currently in today. She is still the smallest here but this room she has made the most in! From better verbal skills including singing randomly, telling me what objects and BKP Website Updates items are or demanding them to interactions. She may still be the shyest of them all but she’s getting there. The most useful thing she has done is this room is potty train! At home we had been trying for two months and it seems within a two weeks’ time she has picked it up very well from daycare. I’m sure this is from seeing her friends there being big kids and learning as well.
Final Thoughts:
Today I am filled with so much comfort and joy that we went with Brainy Kids Place, I don’t think any other place would feel like a second family to us. We are happy to have Beretta there until school and we are adding another Brainy Kid to the family in a few short month she will join the daycare. I’m sure I will again stand outside the door and cry and be scared and concerned but I know all the teachers here love and do the best they can to care for our children. I wouldn’t have it any other way and they desire the biggest thank you that we can give them! They desire well more than we can ever say and I know I don’t say it enough! Thank you Brainy Kids Place for loving and growing our children with us.”

“Good afternoon,
I wanted to make sure you know how much I appreciate all the teachers there.
When Abigail was in Ms. Katie's class she learned so much. She learned to speak better, and Ms. Katie helped immensely on our potty training journey. Abigail learned to use her manners, and got a lot better at sharing her toys. Ms. Katie helped teach her numbers and letters, Abigail would sing her ABC's every single day. She would come home and tell me what number she learned, as well as what letter. Ms. Katie is such an amazing person, and she will always hold a special place in mine and Abigail's heart.
Ms. Diana is so sweet and wonderful with Abigail. Abigail always comes home with her hair looking so pretty (apparently she will sit still for her but not me). She always talks about how nice Ms. Diana is, and Abigail has even learned some Spanish... and she is only 3!
Ms. Elizabeth is one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met! She always makes sure to give Abigail hugs before she leaves, and has helped Abigail understand that its okay to go #2 at daycare. She has also helped us try to get Abigail to stop sucking her thumb. I love how she is always willing to help with anything, and Abigail adores her.
Melanie and Kristen are absolutely amazing. They always make sure to help in any way possible. They are always smiling and neither one of them ever mind when I call to check in on my baby girl. Any time I have any concerns they do everything in their power to take care of it. They never even hesitate.
Ms. Kaycee is such a blessing. She is there every morning when I drop Abigail off and she always helps with the task of dropping her off so I can get to work on time. Abigail always tells me how much she likes sitting at the table with Ms. Kaycee and eating her breakfast with her.She always so happy in the morning to which makes the day start off just right.
Brainy Kids Place was Abigail's first daycare, I wouldn't trade it for the world. She has blossomed into such an amazing, sweet and smart little girl with the help of each and every person there. I could not imagine Abigail going any where else! Things have been crazy in the home life, and you guys have done so much to help with anything I need. Brainy Kids Place is a true blessing.”

Potty Training Guidance

“Coy has gone to Brainy Kids Place since he was 10 weeks old. It was just an automatic fit for us. But I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for all the help, guidance, and support we received in one of the most trying times I have experienced as a parent.......the dreaded POTTY TRAINING. With Coy being our only child his father and I had no clue what we were doing. Ms. Katie was so great at helping get Coy potty trained and I know without a doubt that he picked it up so quickly because she listened to how I was attempting to do it and she went right along with it while also having other kids in class. She kept me up to date everyday throughout the day on how he was doing with the potty training. I never thought I would be so consumed with my son’s potty activity but when we would go days without any accidents even at daycare it felt like the greatest triumph in the world! This is just one of the many reasons we love Brainy Kids Place. Coy loves going to Ms. Diana’s class everyday and I feel so much better knowing my kid loves spending his days with his teachers and friends at Brainy Kids Place.”

“I’d like to leave a testimony of the amazing care that Brainy Kids Place has given my kids. Besides it being close to home and reasonably affordable, I know it’s a safe, great learning environment for my kids. Erin comes home excited to tell/show me what she’s done in her after school class and Wyatt, at 2 years old, knows his colors, animals, body parts, can sing several nursery rhymes and has just blossomed out of his shell, socially! The teachers here are so caring and nurturing. It’s evident that they love their job and the kids that they see everyday. You will never go a day walking through the doors without at least a teacher or two greeting you and asking how you and your family are doing. Brainy Kids Place is truly a warm and welcoming environment.”

BKP Made Transitioning Back to Work Easy

“Having my first child has been so amazing, but going back to work and entrusting someone with your baby is extremely hard. BKP made that transition as easy as possible for me. Due to the safety measures in place, I knew that he would be secure. The staff at Brainy Kids is loving and he has never been upset to be left and has always been happy when I pick him up. I am always immediately alerted to any concerns that Ms. Stacey or Ms. Pam have about my son. I absolutely love how they are constantly interacting with the babies. It makes me feel good when I show up to pick him up and the teachers are on the floor with him. As you can see by the picture, he is happy to be at BKP. I am so appreciative to Brainy Kids for caring for my baby when I cannot be with him.”

The app that they have for all of the parents is so helpful for communicating with the teacher. I can see when he ate, what he ate, when he was changed and when he slept. Everyone there is very helpful and very accommodating to my requests. I would recommend this daycare to anyone that lives in the Santa Fe area.”

“October 2015 we were in search of a daycare facility for our 3 year old son. Since childcare isn't something to be taken lightly, my husband and I took off work to go research the different childcare facilities. A lady I currently work with recommended Brainy Kids Place. Her child had been attending there since she was 9 months old. She even found a coupon for reduced tuition if enrolled by the end of October. Of course, a coupon would not be a valid reason for us to choose a facility to care for our most precious child. After visiting several facilities, Brainy Kids Place was the one we chose. The facility has safety measures in place to ensure that strangers don't come in unauthorized. In the last year they have made several cosmetic improvements to the facility and playground. The teachers have been willing to work with Nicholas on his potty training and use positive reinforcement with the children. Nicholas told me the other day that he loves...Miss Alaine, Miss Chelsea, Miss Brooke, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Melanie...and listed pretty much all of the teachers I've ever met. This gave me a sense of peace, knowing that no matter which teachers my son interacts with each day, they all make him feel loved. My son is very vocal and tells me about how his day is when I pick him up. He rarely has bad days, and when he does the teachers take the time to tell me about any issues and we work together; Parent, Teacher and Child, to do what is in the best interest of my child. I am very pleased with the staff at Brainy Kids Place and recommend it to anyone looking for a child care facility.”

I’m Extremely Happy with the Transformation I’ve Seen

“We love Brainy Kids! When we came to Brainy Kids my son was not very social and did not like daycare in the least. After a couple months my son now gets excited about going to his class and absolutely loves his teachers! From the minute we pull in the driveway he is smiling and as soon as we walk in the door he gets so excited he walks straight to his classroom in a hurry (he'd leave me behind if he could). My son is not affectionate with many people besides us (his parents) but as soon as he sees his teacher he runs straight to her and hugs her and blows kisses and is very comfortable with her. It makes my heart melt and I'm extremely happy the transformation I've seen in him. Thank you Brainy Kids!”

“We transferred from a larger chain daycare in December of last year and it's like a night and day difference in my 3 year old son. Ms Chelsea and Ms Jada are the highlights of my son's day. He talks about them when he comes home. He always makes sure to say bye to them as he leaves. And everyday I get "Mommy, I love school today!" When I go to pick him up. I don't have to struggle to get him up and dressed in the morning because he just loves it here!”

“I started my 4 year old daughter in daycare in May and it was originally between Brainy Kids and KinderCare. We ended up going with KinderCare but a couple of months ago something must've changed and my daughter started having accidents all the time and didn't want to go to school anymore. So we decided to give Brainy Kids a shot and after the first week she was making major improvements in going potty and hasn't complained once about going to school. She gets very excited about going. I'm also very impressed with the preschool work she brings home at the end of the week. I wish we would have gone with them originally!”

Felt Nothing But Warmth, A Complete Blessing
Read More

“After 3 years of having my daughter watched by family members, it was time to find a daycare/school for her. I made an appointment for Wednesday afternoon around 330 and when my daughter, myself and my dad arrived... I loved we couldn't get in without having someone come let us in.
As we were touring around, I took notice of the cleanliness (especially the baseboards). I had every question answered and didn't feel nothing but warmth.
When we walked back to were my daughters classroom was, the teacher greeted my child with compassion and warmth as if she was speaking to her own child. Even offered her a sucker as the other kids had one. Instantly my daughter wanted to stay... They were even getting ready to work on sign language. (amazing)
After, I left, I called and asked about starting my daughter Thursday instead of Monday... They accommodated the request.
Today, I had her daddy and I both drop of our daughter (so he could also register) and while he got emotional the staff even helped him through it. Mrs. Chelsea then asked if she could have a hug and at that point my daughter felt comfortable and waved bye to us. I called once to check on her, and they said she was adjusting well. This afternoon my mom went with me (so she could register too) and she even complimented the school we picked.
The best part, walking in to my daughter interacting amazingly with the class and was so proud of her fan they made. Mrs. Chelsea gave me the update and made me feel so much at peace.
Thank you, Mrs. Chelsea and the whole staff for being there for my daughter while I am working to provide. I know she is safe and will be well taken care of. You all are a complete blessing.”

It is also ALWAYS nice when I go in and see how happy all the workers are and see all the children having a good time. The girls have learned so much being there and they talk highly of their teachers. Thank you Brainy Kids Place for ALL that you do.”

“Choosing Brainy Kids is beyond one of the best choices I made for my children. The staff are amazing. They take your child in as if they are family. Kind, gentle and patient. My youngest is 4 and my oldest is 7. I have never heard them complain one time. Even though they go to elementary school and are at Brainy Kids part time they always make a point to mention how day care went. I know my oldest looks forward to Summer vacation as well with Brainy Kids. Brainy kids is always active and going on field trips in the summer time. The learning side of Brainy Kids is awesome as well. My youngest has so many art projects and learning work sheets when she brings them home I didn't even realize day cares even did the learning they are doing. My daughter is definitely going to be ready for kindergarten next year. Brainy Kids has made a wonderful impact on my children for the future as well as taking wonderful care of them. Choosing Brainy Kids would be the best choice for you if you are looking for caring, kindness, patience, brightness and sanitary.”

BKP Plays a Vital Role

“As the saying goes, "It Takes a Village" and BKP plays a vital role in the care and upbringing of our granddaughters. Excellent staff, a well rounded curriculum, a shaded outdoor play area, and an awesome indoor gym for those cold and rainy days are just a few of the reasons BKP stands out. The Brightwheel App is a great tool and keeps us informed on daily activities, items needed, etc. But most importantly, it's a great comfort when the baby smiles and reaches for her teacher each morning, and the oldest doesn't want to leave! We're very grateful our girls are with Chelsea and the BKP staff.”

“We have been going to Brainy Kids since my daughter was 2.5 months and she is now almost 6 months. Let me start by saying I never wanted to put my daughter in daycare. I always thought I would be a stay at home mom but when the time came it just wasn't in the cards for us. I had been on the waiting list at two other local daycare centers for months (and still have never gotten a call with an opening). I was starting to panic that I hadn't found child care yet so I randomly stopped in at Brainy Kids. Boy was I impressed. The owner was there and gave me a tour on the spot. She put all of my concerns at ease in an hour. It took my daughter about three weeks to adjust to her new environment and ever since then she has done great at Brainy Kids and smiles at all her teachers when I drop her off (and back at them when I pick her up). They provide a detailed sheet of her daily activities including naps, feedings, moods, and diaper changes (done at least once every hour). They are always adding new things to the room for the babies to play with. There are usually two teachers in there at one time and almost always an admin staff there to help when all the babies get fussy or hungry at once. I really think my daughter is thriving in daycare and I even think she has little baby friends. Any concerns I have ever had and brought up to Chelsea or any member of her staff have always been addressed and they have even followed up with me. I can only speak for the baby room at this time, but for a first time overprotective mom, Brainy Kids place scores an A plus in my book! Thanks for taking care of my girl ladies.
**Updated March 2017**
Wow what can I say! We have been going to BKP for a year now since our daughter was 10 weeks. Tomorrow she moves up to the toddler room so this will be a final review of the baby room. We loved BKP baby room! Ms. Megan is so amazing with our girl and you can tell that she really cares for all her Brainy babies. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl for the past year! We look forward to the next chapter at BKP and know Chelsea and her staff will take care of us!”

We Fell In Love with the Teachers

“My kids have been going here for almost two years now. I chose this place because when it use to be Little Texans my two oldest went there and then I pulled them out when I was on maternity leave. So when I went back to work I went back to that daycare and they told me it had a new owner and let me tour the place. I was planning to choose it anyways because they accept NCI (daycare assistance). After my kids started we fell in love with the teachers. I am very overprotective of my children and I have gained a relationship with pretty much every teacher. They will text me and call me if they have a problem. If my kids are acting a bit bad I know I will be informed. If I ever have a problem with anyone I always know I can talk to them about it. I love the teachers at this place and so do my kids. They have made such great relationships with my kids I know they will always remember them.”

Easy Transition

“When we decided on a day are for our two children, who are grown now, we chose a loving and caring place with a "homey" atmosphere vs. all the corporate day cares that were available at the time. Now we witnessed our son and his wife make the same decision. They chose Brainy Kids Place in Santa Fe, and when we toured this day care with our granddaughter, we were so happy to see that it was in many ways very much like the day care our son attended -- secure, loving, caring, warm, friendly, academic -- and most of all, our granddaughter loved it! Her transition to Brainy Kids has been so easy because the staff has been so welcoming to her. She has made friends there, and has even advanced in her learning. We thank Brainy Kids for caring for our granddaughter and keeping her safe. As a grandmother, I highly recommend Brainy Kids Place to other families!”

Low Teacher Turnover

“One thing I like about this daycare is that my son has had the same teacher for over a year. It is so important to not have a high turnover rate in daycare's because you want your children to know who you are leaving them with. Miss Letty is amazing with my son. He adores her and she is so patient with him. I know he is being moved up since he just had a birthday. It is just nice to see the same faces when I come in to drop off and pick him up.. it is a blessing.”

Security is a Top Priority

“My granddaughter goes to Brainy Kids in Santa Fe. When we took her to meet the staff and other kids to help in her transition from her previous day care, I was very, very impressed with their security. Today there are a lot of scary things happening to children, and as a grandfather, I felt very comforted that Brainy Kids made their security system a high priority. Not only do they require an individual to have a PIN, but they require a fingerprint as well from all authorized persons picking up children there. The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and my granddaughter was not hesitant at all to make the change. To me, that is what is important: security and how my granddaughter is treated. On both counts, Brainy Kids has this grandfather's vote and I would highly recommend this day care/preschool to other families.”

I Went as a Child
Read More
“In 1993 I started going to this same daycare at the age of 6. It was then called Collins-Evans and was only the small building. A few years later they built the gym behind it. This has always been a christian based daycare facility. I remember saying grace with my classmates at lunch every day in the summer. I made tons of friends! A couple more years passed and they renamed it Country Day. My 12th birthday was my last day. When i became a mother in 2007, i knew this would be my child's daycare! It was then named Little Texans. When my son was 6 months old he became a member. I was surprised that their rates were very reasonable. I am so pleased at the kindness and generosity this daycare has always showed towards the parents AND the kids. Now, all 3 of my kids go to Brainy Kids Place!”

Better Atmosphere Than Large Franchises

“I’ve been very happy with Brainy Kids. I am very impressed with the amount of information our daughter has learned in her short time there and how much easier she retains information at this new school. I believe she is more focused and is also much happier there than at her old school. I like the atmosphere of Brainy Kids much more than that of a larger franchised institution which treats parents and children like profit centers rather than individuals with specific needs. The faculty has treated our daughter very well and I always leave with a smile when I pick her up. I enjoy seeing how much she likes to say goodbye to everyone. I also like that on days when she loses a toy she brought with her in the morning, every teacher seems to get involved, working diligently to help her find it. That shows how well the staff works as a team to care for the students.”

Best Kept Secret
Read More
Read More
“I just wanted to say Thank You for all you and ALL the teachers do there for Ally! I really do feel that Brainy Kids Place is the best kept little secret in the League City/Santa Fe area!
We scoured the area looking at daycares. Some were giant hubs of children, and when I’d ask about a friend’s kid who attended, they didn’t even recognize the kid by name. Tuition would have to be given in paper check form. The security system was whether they recognized you, or if your name was on the sign in sheet. The morning sessions could have 75 parents coming through. I didn’t want that for my infant! And now, a year later, compared to friends who put their babies in very tiny, exclusive, expensive daycares, Ally is the ONLY one who hasn’t caught some horrible illness that was going around the room. So thankful!! Good job!
I love that you are a smaller daycare with state of the art security systems- finger print scanning, credit card swiping, automatic emailed receipts. You find the most professional, loving staff! I can tell that my daughter and her teacher have a special bond. My daughter starts smiling as soon as we get in the door, and dives into her teacher’s arms
Brainy Kids Place is the best kept little secret in the League City/Santa Fe area! I love how the place is clean, organized, filled with love, and has a community feel. I was impressed when we first walked through that you knew every child, and they knew you!!! They are not just a number! They get tons of one on one attention and we are fully aware of what she is learning every day. It's hard to take your baby to daycare, but with teachers like these, you feel confident your child is learning and getting loved every day!
I was also impressed by how the daycare keeps growing, the tent over the playground, the security cameras. I can see all of this investment in the place, and it shows!
Thanks again for all you and your teachers do! I wish I had enough money to give you all bonuses!”

Love the Location

“I initially choose Brainy Kids Place for its location and convenience. I was very skeptical about putting my daughters back into daycare due to the fact that we were fairly new to the area. When I initially went in for a tour and to get information, such as what services were offered and the cost, I was greeted with open arms as if I had known them for years. That alone gave me a good feeling about Brainy Kids Place. My daughters love all their peers and teachers. I love the atmosphere that Brainy Kids Place has to offer our children. I like how the facility and classrooms are always clean. I really liked how during the summer the kids were taken out on multiple field trips instead of having to be stuck indoors for the whole summer. Brainy Kids Place staff is very good with communicating with parents. I would recommend Brainy Kids Place to any parent who seeking a good child care facility for their child.”

We are happy to see her happy, healthy, and learning in this new, exciting environment!”

Best Summer Program

“I chose brainy kids place at the beginning because of the convenience and the hours. The hours are fantastic and that I know that my child is safe weather I have to drop her off early or leave her a little bit later. All of the teachers are very involved and know my daughter by name. They are kind and help her to remember things when I pick her up as we are both very forgetful.
The summer program truly is the best. With two field trips scheduled every week the kids never get bored. And even better, these field trips are included with summer tuition!
My daughter had never been in daycare before but I had worked at one previously. I am very impressed by the standards that they have with their staff, the classrooms, and the curriculum. The socialization is awesome and my daughter is constantly encouraged to grow. We love brainy kids place!”

Best Center My Children Have Been To
Read More
Read More
“Brainy Kids Place is by far the best daycare center my child/children have ever attended. Each of my children have attended other public daycares in town as well as private home daycares. The staff was unfriendly, uncaring and uninvolved in caring for my children. My children attended one particular daycare for over 5 years and I never met the owner. They let the children run wild and there was no discipline or structure. Brainy Kids Place is the exact opposite. The staff is full of caring and loving individuals. The owner is involved and has made Brainy Kids Place a safe, fun and structured environment. Chelsea and her staff come up with fun and creative ideas and field trips for the kids. The tuition is great considering all of the activities for this kids. Rarely does a parent have to come out of pocket for additional expenses. I pulled my daughter out of daycare once and re-enrolled her because we missed the structure and the staff. I am so grateful for Brainy Kids Place. I feel comfortable leaving my child there and know the staff will love her and take care of her like their very own.”

As an Educator Myself…

“We choose Brainy Kid’s Place for our 2 year old son for numerous reasons, but the final decision was made when our friends began sharing their positive testimonials and expressing their sincere satisfaction with Chelsea and her staff. After visiting the facility, meeting with Chelsea and her staff, and seeing how sincerely engaged all the kiddos seemed to be, we felt in our hearts that this was the right place for our little one. Since starting at BKP 6 weeks ago, Hollin has bloomed into a vivacious, curious, talkative, toddler who constantly loves to tell us about his teacher, Ms. Ana, and friends in his class. I am so thankful for all the teachers at BKP who come in contact with Hollin throughout the day. As an educator myself, I understand the importance of my child having positive relationships with all adults, not just his teacher. I love that as we leave each day, all teachers wish him well and know him by name. The smile on his face and the wave goodbye are the small, daily reassurances that we have made the right choice for our family. I cannot thank Ms. Chelsea and her staff enough for constantly molding Hollin into a courteous, friendly toddler and fostering learning in a constructive yet flexible environment.”

Since the Beginning

“I first would like to start out by saying that my son has been with this daycare since they began brainy kids. When they purchased the daycare they renovated all the classrooms and improved the building substantially. My son loves his classroom and all the girls work there get hugs and kisses from him daily. He never cries when I drop him off and he is always excited to show me is work every day when I pick him up. His teachers keep me updated on his development and I am grateful for the structure they provide him. He has learned so much from his teachers. One thing that stands out is that the same ladies are there day in and day out. I like the fact that the owner is there on a daily/weekly basis so if I have any concerns she has an open door for discussions. My son loves his group of friends and he has a great group of little friends that have also been there and have grew up with him. I am thankful that our son still attends this daycare that has been very stable environment. He knows everyone’s name who works there and it is so refreshing to have the advanced security that they offer. Thank you Brainy Kids for treating my son like as if he was one of your own children. The dedication of your teachers is something my family is grateful for. While I am at work I know he is happy, enjoying himself and most importantly safe from harm.”

Changed My Family's Life
Read More
Read More
“I’m generally not the type of person that likes to write reviews or take surveys or anything of that nature. However, for you and your staff I will make an exception.
From the moment I first walked in to Brainy Kids Place, I knew it was unlike any other child care facility I had ever been inside. I was greeted at the door with a smile and a sense of expectation even though I had made no arrangements for a tour. Chelsea, the owner, took me on a tour of the facilities, and I could tell from her passion and enthusiasm and that of the other employees, that this was a special place. There was an atmosphere of a family, and not just a business. Kids weren’t dollar signs to them, they were individuals. I made up my mind immediately that this was where I wanted my four year old and “baby on the way” to go to school.
My four year old has been to a few different daycares because of our job and living situations at home. And truthfully, he never really seemed at home with any of them. Every kid is special, with their own quirks and personalities, and my son is no exception. However, at all of the other daycares they seemed to try to make him change who he was to fit a mold of what he “should” be. However, at Brainy Kids Place Chelsea and her staff, especially Ms. Angel, have made a point of embracing his individuality and genuinely trying to help him grow as an individual both academically and socially rather than conform to a standard. Since his enrollment my son seems more confident in who he is and what he knows. He genuinely enjoys going to school, although sometimes he likes to pretend he doesn't want to stay in the mornings. Even his manners have improved.
Basically, Brainy Kids Place has legitimately changed my family's life. That may seem to be an exaggeration, but I can assure you it is not. We care deeply about our son's well-being and education, and so does Brainy Kids Place.”

Everything About His Behavior Has Improved
Read More
Read More
“Before coming to Brainy Kids Place I had my son enrolled in Childworks. He was there for about 4 years. The older he got the worse the classrooms became. There was no structure, no guidelines and there might as well not have even been rules. My son was labeled one of the problem children. Anything that happened, even normal behavior for a child was unacceptable. Considering rules and punishment were never enforced I never understood why they expected him or the other children to be "perfect angels". There were no group activities or teachers involving themselves with the students. There was one big TV and the children were basically to entertain themselves. Which to a 5-6 year old means get in trouble and see what we can get away with. They did not have a separate classroom, nor were the teachers watching them half the time. Breakfast, lunch, snack, everything included sugary snacks and unhealthy foods. In return they honestly wondered why the children were never behaved. My son never knew what to expect day to day. There was not a set routine. It was get off the bus, eat cookies, watch tv and go crazy.
My son is now 6 and in 1st grade. He started Brainy Kids Place a couple months ago and everything about his behavior has improved. They have a set routine, they know what to expect. It warms my heart to pick him up and see them eating oranges and the teacher helping the kiddos with their homework and having such patience to help them learn and guide them. I walked in one day to see the Owner, Chelsea, on the floor with what looked to be 1-2 year olds, teaching them. I have never seen an Owner be involved and actually take the time to know you and your child.
My son isn't good with change. It was a rocky road the first couple of weeks coming from no rules to set guidelines and structure. However, I would never change my decision to put him in Brainy Kids Place. The name says it all. Everything about this daycare makes me happy. When there is an issue/problem, Chelsea is proactive and makes the change for the better. Keep doing what you're doing!!!! We love this place!!”

Needed Part Time Care

“Early this fall, we were looking for a part time program to give a small break to our relatives watching a very active toddler. In just 2 days a week I could see his verbal skills grow. He learned about interacting with other kids his age. At first, it was rough as starting a new day care with new people tends to be. The wonderful staff always loved on him and made sure he settled in.
A few weeks later we suddenly needed full time care. Immediately. I was so grateful there was a spot available for him. He was already familiar with his teachers and routine so it wasn't a hard transition. Also I think having similar toys and food helped him settle easier.
We are truly grateful for the loving and attentive staff that are with him all those hours during the week. He has done so well with the eating and nap time schedule that it makes weekends much easier and predictable.”

“Being a first time mom and having to place my child in daycare during the week was definitely not an easy thing to do. But as time has passed it's been easier, not going to say easy because it's not, but it is easier because everybody there seems to love Coy and they seem to share in the excitement of his accomplishments as he grows. Right now I am struggling with the issue of him not eating table food and it's a great feeling when I come to pick him up and have several teachers tell me how he put a graham cracker in his mouth and to see the excitement on their faces at such a little thing means so much to me. And it's great to know that they are working with him on this issue and any others he has had just like I am.”

“My fiance and I both work stressful, demanding jobs that require most, if not all, of our time. On top of that, I only had 6 weeks of maternity leave before I had to return to work full time and our daughter was born 3 weeks premature. Thus, I needed a daycare I could trust 110% with our daughter.
We toured Brainy Kids Place when I was roughly 8 months pregnant. Originally, we scheduled to tour and review 5 daycares in the area. However, Brainy Kids Place was the first, last and only daycare we toured. From the moment we walked in, it felt “right.” BKP is neat and well-kept and it is evident that every member of the staff truly loves what she does. Chelsea is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her business and comes with one heck of a resume. Chelsea’s love for her business flows down to other members of the BKP team. Another thing that drew us in and continues to impress us is Chelsea’s and Kristin’s (BKP director) involvement with the BKP kiddos.
After my daughter’s first day at BKP, I knew we made the right decision. Members of the BKP team called me throughout her first week to let me know how she was settling in and welcomed my phone calls, no matter how annoying I was by calling non-stop. By the end of her first week with BKP, my daughter smiled as soon as she saw Nichole and other BKP teammates in the infant room. To this day, she continues to do so. That small fact puts my mind and my heart at ease because naturally, as a mom I feel guilty for leaving her with someone else all day long.
Our daughter is now 6 months old. During her time at BKP, she has continued to strive. She has exceeded all my expectations as a mother as she grows, learns and excels. Although it is heartbreaking to miss out on moments like her first time to sit up or crawl, I feel better seeing the excitement on the faces of the BKP team (it is almost as though they are excited and proud as I am to see her new moves!). I love that BKP sends her home with a daily activity sheet because it keeps me up to date on her progress and what she is learning each day. Further, BKP does activities with her every day which I know she enjoys and my fridge does, too!
Finally, cost and convenience were two important factors in our decision. Not only is BKP’s tuition a great “bang for my buck,” I also feel like I am getting more that I could imagine with my tuition. Additionally, BKP is close to everything and extremely convenient.
All in all, I could not be more pleased with BKP. Not only am I a “momma bear,” I am also a full time attorney. As such, I am often told I am hard to deal with and harder to please. BKP has fully exceeded my expectations and continue to do so every day. I honestly could not imagine our daughter anywhere else. Every day, we are reminded why we chose BKP!”

“Brainy Kids Place is the bottom line in competent and compassionate child care; professionals who recognize that every child is special! My son has a speech delay and issues with toileting. Other preschools turned down our registration for these reasons. Brainy Kids welcomed my son with open arms, never making him feel badly for his difficulties. Since enrolling, my son is talking more, following routines, interacting with peers, and exceedingly happy to go to school every day! My family would never consider enrolling our son elsewhere, we love Brainy Kids Place! Thank you!”

“They are amazing at Brainy Kids Place! I picked this child care center because it stood out from all of the other day-cares in the area. The staff is super friendly and the the building is always clean. I recently returned to work after being a stay at home mom; having Brainy Kids Place made the transition so much less stressful because they take great care of my baby. HAPPY BABY & HAPPY MOMMA! :)”
