Bright Beginnings is an inclusive program that introduces children, ages 3-5, to the skills that serve as a foundation for future life success. Our purpose is to assure that young children who are at various stages of developmental growth demonstrate a passion for learning as they progress academically and socially. We believe learning is best facilitated in this age group through hands-on, interactive experiences that engage and challenge early learners.

To meet the growing needs of the community, Bright Beginnings Preschool provides several program options for the 2007-2008 school year: Child's Age (Birthday by Sept. 1) Number of Days / Weekdays Three-Year-Olds 2 days T, Th mornings Three-Year-Olds 2 days T, Th afternoons Three-Year-Olds 3 days M,W, F mornings Four-Year-Olds 3 days M,W,F afternoons Four-Year-Olds 4 days M,T,W,Th afternoons Four-Year-Olds 5 days M,T,W,Th, F mornings note - the 2008-2009 schedule will be different!
