Our Mission 

Our Mission is to bring equity in academic achievement “One Bright Star Scholar at a time” through excellence in After School and Summer Programs.​

​

We believe that by recognizing the uniqueness of each child -- "One" star eliminates darkness" making the world a Brighter Place.



Our Story 

Bright Stars After School began in 2017 with a vision to create a safe, nurturing, and academically enriching environment for children in our community.

​

We are most proud of the role we played during the COVID-19 pandemic. When schools closed their doors, Bright Stars opened ours wider—from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day—so families had a dependable, safe, and supportive place for their children. Serving children from multiple schools across the Charlotte area during such a difficult time reminded us of why Bright Stars exists: to meet families where they are and ensure children continue to thrive.

​​

Today, Bright Stars continues that same commitment through After School and Summer Programs that inspire children, support families, and strengthen our community.

​

For parents, Bright Stars offers peace of mind that their most precious treasures are cared for with passion for their total well-being—mind, body, and spirit. Families also benefit from affordable, dependable, and high-quality after school and summer services.
