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.

The Inspiration

​

For children, Bright Stars is a place to be immersed in a loving, caring, safe, and fun-filled learning environment. As they persevere in academic excellence, they grow into the “Bright Stars” who will make the world a brighter place.

​

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.

​

For the community, Bright Stars provides vital support for families and schools by reinforcing learning that promotes student achievement and lifelong success.
