"As a FTM (first time Mum), the idea of my little one starting school was incredibly daunting. The undeniable pressure of finding the “right” school is truly overwhelming. The anxiety, the nervousness, the unknowns all make the process a challenging one. From the moment we stepped into Brite Beginnings, we were met with warmth and kindness. The children were happy. The Teachers were friendly and the space was beautiful!

"I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible care and love my 2-year-old daughter has received at your preschool over the past 3 terms. She absolutely ADORES school, and it's all thanks to the amazing teachers and staff!

"Brite Beginnings is the little gem of Joburg! The classes are small and an enormous effort goes into each and every activity that the teachers prepare. Each week has a new theme, and the activities are centered around the theme. We found that this allowed our boy to really focus and develop his vocabulary in line with the theme. The teachers are incredible, so attentive, kind and know all the kids personally- even the ones not in their class.

"Thank you so so much for more than 4 wonderful years at BB. We really hit the jackpot when we found this incredible little school and will be forever grateful for everything you have sewn into the lives of our kids."

Martine

"Choosing the first school for your child is always very daunting, we looked at a few options but Brite Beginnings (BB) came highly recommended and for good reason. We immediately got a good feeling, with such warm energetic staff and a great setup. Zoe was there for 3 years, she loved going to school, and grew so much with the love and care of BB. They were also so accommodating and welcoming of Luke, Zoe’s cousin with special needs and brought his carer into the family too. BB is a great start to a child’s education, with an environment that is intimate, fun and stimulating."

"Thank you so much for everything you do for my boy, for recognising how special he is and treating him as your own. Words cannot express my gratitude, we are so lucky to have you!"

Zander and Family

2018

"Even though we sometimes started with tears, we always finished with joy and laughter. For us the play, learn and fun times will always have a special place. Thank you for all the cuddles, love and support messages to comfort teary Mom. We are leaving with the most beautiful memories."

Jake

"Thank you for an incredible year ! Our Jakey has been such a happy camper, he could not have been happier at any other school. What a great decision to send him to your wonderful little school. We are so sad to be leaving."

Tracey

"Thank you for your love and affection that you constantly show to my little Kirsten aka Giggles. She really enjoys coming to your little school and her face lights up when it's 'school with Teacher Niqui' day."

Stuart

"Thank for creating such a wonderful school for our kids. We are so privileged to be part of the BB family."

"Thanks is a small word for expressing our humble feelings.. Brite Beginnings is a warm world of hugs, care, love, happiness with added bonus of teaching, so fortunate to have found such a place for my little Vedant. Leaving my baby was never ever a worry for me, thanks so much Anique for being so patient, responding, positive, systematic.. reflection of which I can see in my kid."

Christa

2013

"Thank you very much for the past 2 years... you have obviously been an intergral part of our lives...and every day I was glad to leave my kids at school where I know (and can see) that LOVING PLAY is the priority. Thanks you for understanding each of the little ones on their own and helping them grow into themselves without forcing them into some mould. There is an obvious attention to detail - and it is clear that you understand and appreciate each little one. But there is also a diligent and organanised manager behind the scenes that we really appreciate. (Contact Books, flash discs, assessments, newsletters) that I'm sure is not everywhere to be found. I really appreciate this and am so glad that this is not goodbye yet and Ansophi will still be with you next year."

"Such a warm and loving environment! My son absolutely adores going to school, and he always comes home ready for a long nap after his big, adventurous days, it's the cutest thing! I also love the art books from the year; I’ll be framing so many of his little masterpieces :)

Thank you so much, Sherri, for creating such a wonderful space for our little ones, a place where they feel safe, cared for, and free to just be kids. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brite Beginnings!"

Thobile

2025

We couldn’t have asked for a better school for our little one. She has been at the school for 3.5 years and we have seen her grow in leaps and bounds at Brite Beginnings. She absolutely loves going to school and is so happy there that she even asks to go to school during weekends and school holidays.

"My son Luke has been going to Brite Beginnings (BB) since 2019. He has absolutely thrived since he has been there. He is a special needs child with cerebral palsy and hearing loss but we wanted him to be exposed to a mainstream school as much as possible. This is not something that many mainstream schools would accommodate but BB embraced the idea and him.

"We chose Brite Beginnings after visiting more than 5 pre-schools and we couldn’t have made a better choice for our daughter. Nala absolutely LOVES it there and even asks us to take her to school on weekends! She is so happy and is growing in leaps and bounds. The teachers give the children so much love and care for them like their own. Thank you Teacher Sherri and the Brite Beginnings family for giving our precious Nala a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow."

Jayne

"Words are often not enough to do things justice but let me try. Brite Beginnings is a home away from home, all thanks to their remarkably passionate team. My son was happy at BB from day one, and he was a child that we expected would struggle with severe separation anxiety. I can count on one hand the number of days that we had a tearful drop-off. Not only is the school incredibly nurturing but the level of stimulation and creativity is excellent.

"​To the Wonderful Staff at Brite Beginnings, thank you ALL for being such a happy, kind, caring and fun bunch of ladies. Katelyn has loved her time with you all and we are very sad to say goodbye. Thank you for always welcoming us with big smiles and open arms. Keep doing the wonderful things you are doing."

Smith family

"Thank you for caring for our Leah this year. BB really feels like a second home to us, because of the genuine love and support our kids have received. The solid foundation that you have provided is one that has allowed Cooper to build strong few years on and I know Leah will do the same. Not a goodbye but a see you soon"

Thanks for loving our little Ty Bear."
