Hello Everyone, I hope you are all staying warm. As the weather gets chilly you may all be looking for a place to take your child which is all fun, education and the best care for your child during this transitioning period. Perhaps what you’re looking for is a day care center, so let’s talk about it! Today I have a day care center for you all; Bright Start Pre-School and day care center.
Overview
Bright Start Pre-School and day care is a center for infants, toddlers and early childhood. At this day care they understand the importance of first making the child feel comfortable by providing a smooth transition from home to day care. They make sure that the program is not only as convenient as it can be for the parents but also a comfortable place and environment for the children. Bright Start understands that many of their customers are working parents, so they have a couple of programs available at affordable pricing with different schedules available. They know that it’s important for parents to be able to plan around their work schedule. The day care center also has an open door policy; parents are always welcome to visit.
Bright Start Pre-School and Day care Schedules
Full day Schedule: Monday- Thursday 6:30am-6:30 pm
Half-Day Schedule: Morning Group: 6:30am-12:30pm
Afternoon Group: 12:30pm-6:30pm
The day care and faculty is very accommodating so if there is a different time frame that would work for you I am sure they would be willing to accommodate you. If you are interested in seeing a specific schedule that Bright Start follows feel free to visit their website at www.bright-start-childcare.com
Curriculums offered
Infants and Toddlers: Focuses on helping children learn to transition and feel comfortable being with caregivers/teachers.
Early Childhood: Focuses more on things such as their socio-emotional development. The caregivers/teachers for the children of these ages will take this time to develop a strategy that works best for each child in terms of how they learn.
Pre-School: For children of this age group, bright start has a curriculum that addresses literacy, math, science, social studies, the arts and technology.
Layout of the Classrooms
At Bright Start, classrooms are setup in a manner in which each area is divided and assigned as a specific area, like a reading area for example. They have multiple designated areas, some of which are the block center, dramatic area, arts and crafts, library center, science area, sand and water center and the outdoor play area. Each area is designated to enforce a certain section of their curriculum which I think is wonderful; it helps you know that everything within the room holds a purpose to your child’s learning future.
Daily Requirements
One of the things that the Bright Start pre-school day care requires is that parents bring their child to the center prepared with necessities. These necessities include:
- Diapers
- Wipes
- Food
- Formula
- Snacks Lunch for the day
Extra Activities
If you’re looking for a school that will help your little ones venture out into the world well I have good news! At Bright start Pre-school and day care they actually take the children on field trips. There aren’t any specifics as to what field trips they will be going on, however, on their site they do have many pictures of field trips they have attended thus far. Some of the places they have recently visited are as follows:
- The Park
- Swimming Pool for swimming lessons
- Bowling Alley
- Petting Zoo
The children all wear the same shirts on field trip days so that everyone is in uniform.
So Mommies and Daddy’s, if you like what you’re hearing so far give their website a visit! You can take a look at their classroom and field trip pictures for yourself! See if it looks like an environment for you and your child. Also, I truly recommend visiting their site so that you can read what other parents have said about their experience with this care center. One Father briefly shares his story as to how Bright Start helped his son to speak and how other pre-schools (three) rejected his son previously because he could not speak prior to this experience. So if you would like to hear other stories from parents you can read what these parents have posted directly onto the website (http://www.bright-start-childcare.com/comments.html) This link will take you directly to these comments.
Wishing everyone a happy school/day care hunt!
