Bright Beginnings Christian Academy, Norco | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

After being one of their biggest cheerleaders, I realized I had been fooled. When I enrolled my child 1.5 years ago I was told the kids were grouped based on abilities and maturity. But in fact, they grouped them based on whether they were enrolling for their kindergarten class the next year or not. Those enrolling were offered a computer reading app for kids. Our class was not offered that app. The other class received challenging in-class worksheets and sight words. Our class did not. Our class was assigned 3 different teachers in the last 7months. Two of them being new hires and the most recent had no idea what a sight word was.
I tried talking to the Director Drena, and got lies and excuses. They eventually gave me the app for my child and offered me extra worksheets for my child to take home. I did not feel this was fair for the entire class.  I though I was making headway when I got them to agree to give our class the app. I figured it was only fair since the other class got it 6months before. But even after 1month, still nothing but excuses.  The school even denied that they were doing sight words in the other class. They said sight words were not a requirement. I had to show them images that in fact they were doing them in the other class. In fact, most of the local preschools are all introducing sight words to their older preschoolers.
In all my attempts to deal with this issue,  all I got were more lies and eventually insults when confronted. They even stooped as low as to blame two children for the lack of progress in our class. I was mortified to see those parents humiliated and used as an excuse.
Shame on Bright Beginnings and those involved for treating our kids so unfairly.  We trusted them and left our children in their care. They took advantage of our blind trust.  This could have been easily resolved if they treated all the kids fairly. They took no accountability or responsibility for any of it. To blame the kids was the last straw for me.  Not to mention all the fundraising and parent participation they received.  No accountability, not even to mention how much was raised at any of the events. SMH.

Bright Christian Academy in Norco, California, exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff, especially Ms. Drina, Ms. Sara, and Ms. Mariah, were not only sweet but also attentive to every detail of my child’s education. Drop-offs and pick-ups were a breeze, streamlining our daily schedule. What truly sets this school apart is how much my daughter adored it. Her enthusiasm for learning grew immensely, a testament to the school’s engaging curriculum. Without a doubt, Bright Christian Academy is the best school in Norco, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching educational environment for their child.

I would say pass on this place after almost 5 years of seeing it go downhill. I would not recommend, unless you are looking for subpar homeschool help. They are not a private school because they can’t qualify as one. If you want to homeschool with a little help, while paying a premium price for tutoring, go ahead! I am very satisfied with our new legit private school. The teachers that they underpay at BBCA are probably the most God-loving part of the school??
