Bright Start Academy Inc

As a parent of a 6-year old boy with an opposition attitude and several challenging behaviors daily, I have visited recently Bright Start Academy and realized that this is the PERFECT location in these covid-19/coronavirus times for my boy. The school is small, it has a very familiar vibe and classrooms only have 6 desks (ideal to implement physical distancing). I am very concerned with the Ontario Government solutions for Public Schools and I believe having him in a private small setting like Bright Start Academy is the safest decision I should take for the development of my child. Just wish he could have a few more friends with him during Summer Camp. Overall, a great visit. Thank you Ms. Allie Offman.

It has been a wonderful experience to work at Bright Start Academy, I have learned more this year than in 5 year of coaching. Great guidance from Principal Offman, teachers that are very helpful and supportive and an amazing group of children that are very kind and welcoming, are the ingredients to an inspiring year of teaching and learning. Come visit us and see for yourself :)

My son is 5 years and was at Bright Start 11 months. He finished this month.

I saw many positive gains from his time at Bright Start: Increased verbal capabilities, more gentle in his interaction with peers, and he is now able to count to 10, knows most of his colors, and can recognize a few letters.
I am thankful for the staff that worked so hard to help him.

For parents looking for an ABA facility this is a good place to start; however it will be important to be mindful of the fact that as a parent you know your child best, and do not be unduly pressured to think otherwise. Ask questions, request reports and progress documents periodically; and stay on top of the paperwork because sometimes they seemed to be too busy,and not able to attend to administrative details. Ontario autism funding requires documentation in order for services to continue, when funds are about to run out.
Thankful mom!

Our son has autism. We visited quite a few private ABA schools in the Toronto area. We found Bright Start to be the best fit. We are 4 months into the year and everything has been great. Highly recommended.
