About Us
The Bright Start Child Development Center is committed to providing a warm, safe, nurturing, and cooperative family-oriented environment for children to grow in the social, emotional, cognitive and physical developmental areas.
We believe each child is a unique individual bringing special attributes to the group. We provide developmentally appropriate activities and learning experiences that focus on the process of learning so that each child experiences personal success. We not only encourage learning; we encourage the love of learning by allowing children to learn at their own pace.
The cornerstone of our philosophy is the enhancement of social and emotional skills, whereby each child gains the building blocks to support successful and enriching peer interaction. Cognitive and physical experiences work to support the development of the whole child. This is accomplished in a progressive age-appropriate environment guided by a professional teaching team that facilitates the child’s learning process.
Together we help children to have their brightest start toward a lifelong love and enthusiasm for learning.

Our Pre-School. Our Family. Our Community
Here at Bright Start, we combine both a play-based philosophy as well as an academic philosophy. This way, children are exposed to the benefits of both programs. At certain times, such as circle time, it is more of an Academic program that is teacher-led. Although children are encouraged to participate with their opinions and experiences, as well as their questions, the teacher is the primary guide. At other times, such as playtime, children are the innovators of their activities. Their imaginations run rampant and significant dialogue amongst the children are exchanged. To someone looking in from the outside, it may look and sound chaotic, however, meaningful interactions are being made. These interactions amongst the students go on to be the essential foundation of their years in preschool and their progression into kindergarten.
We have been serving the community for the past 22 years. We base our services and programs on the needs of the community which is ever-changing. Due to the need in the community, we now have an infant center.
Curriculum
Reading/Writing
We start with the basics. Children not only learn the alphabet and practice writing, they learn the basics from how to hold a pencil too the sounds each letter makes. From there, we consider every child’s developmental level and work with each individual child to meet their reading and writing needs.
Math/Science
Math and science are incorporated in our monthly curriculum. Children learn fun ways to explore adding and subtracting numbers by using various objects, number games, and activities. We combine science with sensory stimulation so that children are able to have a hands on experience during activities. We incorporate nature in both math and science activities.
Art
Art is highly encouraged and implemented throughout various curriculum topics. Children will learn and take pride in painting, coloring, gluing and even cutting their own projects. We encourage children to create projects in their own way to use their creative minds so that the outcome of each child’s project is unique and individualized.
Critical Thinking
Children develop problem solving and critical thinking skills through active play and interactions with other children. Although we have an instruction time that challenges children to engage in critical thinking, interactions are a very meaningful way for children to engage in problem solving, create through imagination, and communicate their thoughts to others.
Enrollment is year-round and based on availability.
