Brightside Academy opened its first location in Ohio in Cleveland in December, 2001. Today we proudly have two daycares in Akron, Ohio, particularly in Summit County, where we provide high-quality child care and school readiness to the communities we service through day care, preschool, and after school programs. Additionally, both academies are Step-Up-To-Quality four & five star rated.

We understand parents’ need for quality education and developmental programs, and and in every community that we serve. Our Cleveland teachers are trained to provide quality education and care to students beginning at as young as six weeks. Our curriculum promotes your child’s development through the infant, toddler, and preschool stages with the goal of preparing your child for success in school and beyond.

When your child begins school, all of our Cleveland locations are prepared to care for your child before and after their school day. In addition, we are glad to offer to school age children throughout the summer months.

Brightside Academy is the leader in quality child care in Akron. Our daycares in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as in other areas in the region, are also recognized for their quality. Find out why today by visiting our Why Brightside Academy page.
