Preschool Program Offerings:
Fun and Compassionate Environment
Our classrooms are designed to provide your child with a fun and educational experience. We believe in a "centers" approach to early education, which means that our programs are structured to provide each age group with an age-appropriate curriculum for fundamental learning. Your child will have the opportunity to learn and develop through creative hands-on activities in a safe and stimulating environment.
Our teachers are compassionate and attentive to all who enter our center. We encourage parents to visit us anytime and communicate regularly with our childcare providers to monitor their child’s progress. We also believe in open and ongoing communication to ensure we cater to your individual needs.
Infant
We provide infant care to those infants that are six weeks of age until they are at least 12 months of age and walking steadily on their feet. We believe that warm, responsive care is crucial for your infant's healthy development. Our childcare specialists provide a nurturing environment for infants to learn fundamental skills of communication and fine motor skills that are essential to their development.
Parents must provide at least five diapers per day for a full-day child, at least three bottles that remain at Bright Ideas (we wash and sanitize on-site), and five changes of clothing. Bright Ideas provides gloves, baby wipes snacks and table food. Parents must provide any specialized formula such as Gentle Ease, specialized food, or special wipes. Bright Ideas is completely supportive of breastfeeding moms and cloth diapers.
Toddlers & Twos
This is a period of rapid growth and development. Toddlers thrive on gross motor activity and language development. We provide an environment with plenty of fun activities to promote that development. Throughout the day using ProCare Parent Engagement, teachers give a record of your child's activities, including naps, eating, and diapering. Parents will need to provide diapers, nap-time blankets, and extra clothes. Bright Ideas provides two meals per day, and two snacks, along with wipes, gloves, and sippy cups.
Children are just starting to realize that there is a world that exists beyond themselves, and they want to explore every square inch! We stimulate this sense of discovery by providing a colorful educational environment. Their days are filled with stories, songs, physical activities, and of course, potty training.
Teachers and directors will assess potty training readiness. When children are ready to potty-train, parents must sign a potty-training contract in order to commence potty training.
We have two different classes for toddlers, ages one and two.
Preschool & Pre-K
Your preschooler's day will be filled with lots of fun, hands-on activities that will start to prepare them for kindergarten. We believe in an emotional, social, and intellectual approach to learning fundamentals such as language, writing, dramatic play, and circle time. Children must be completely potty trained before entering our preschool programs. Parents must provide an extra set of clothes, as accidents do happen.
We have two different classes for Preschool ages 3 and 4.
School-Age
Fun and learning continues before and after school. We provide a less formal environment for your child's learning. Each day after school, students will have a snack and complete their homework assignments at our homework stations unless otherwise stated by parents. School-agers have their choice of one of several games or artwork. They will also have outdoor activities and organized playtime. When your child is out of school for intersession or breaks, we offer an excellent program that will keep your child entertained. Parents are encouraged to provide an extra set of clothes.
