Our Education Philosophy

  • young toddlers reading books

    Life Long Learners

    We create the love of learning by inspiring interest and curiosity. We facilitate self-directed learning throughout the day. We both ask and answer the why questions to encourage critical thinking.

    Responsibility and Independence

    Quality childcare is not just about the now - it’s also about getting children ready for the future. We’re teaching children to be responsible for themselves and independent thinkers who can do things on their own.

    Enriching Experiences

    We strive to provide activities that give the children a sense of wonderment. Whether it’s water play, an erupting volcano, digging for dinosaur bones or a Polar Express experience, we promise they will be talking about them for days or even years to come.

    Respect

    Respect is not just something kids automatically know how to do; it's a skill that needs to be taught and reinforced by adults in their lives. From a young age, children observe the behavior around them and mimic what they see. We have a responsibility to model respect in our own actions and words.

Testimonials

  • "Bright and Early is more than a daycare, but a place for learning and growth. The preschool classes are exceptional, filled with creative projects and activities. My children surprise me daily with all the amazing things they are learning. It is clear that the staff understands and prioritizes the importance of engaging young minds in a variety of ways. The holidays at Bright and Early are nothing short of magical. The staff goes above and beyond to create memorable moments for the children. These moments are cherished, not just by the kids, but by us parents as well. We are profoundly grateful for the impact Bright and Early has had on our children. We couldn’t ask for a better partner in raising our babies."

    -Allison Shreve, mom of Cameron and Vivian

  • "As a past employee at Bright and Early, there was no question where I would send my son for childcare. I loved working at Bright and Early, and knew how much care we provided to each and every child. I am even more impressed now that I am on the other side as a parent. You truly feel like family here. It speaks volumes and shows the commitment of the staff within the center as I still know almost every staff member from ten years ago. From the infant room forward, my son brings home adorable crafts, I receive photo updates daily, and each holiday or season is celebrated with the children in the most thoughtful ways. I also look forward to him being a part of their preschool program, as he continues to grow and learn at Bright and Early. Leaving my son with someone else is hard, but there is nowhere else I would want him to be."

    -Bre Unger, Mom of Brayden

  • “We have been members of the Bright and Early family since 2015, since our now nine-year-old daughter was four months old. Miss Janet and her wonderful team of teachers helped us navigate the transition to daycare life and were with us every step of the way over the years to follow, from nap structures and bottles, to learning colors, shapes, and numbers, to welcoming our son and helping us as we learned how to become a family of four, to creating an environment where our children could develop the confidence and skills that made their transition to school easy and seamless. The level of care they provide is unmatched, the 1:1 relationships we’ve developed with Janet and the teachers has been amazing, and we have absolutely seen the maturity and knowledge our children have gained during their time with them.”

    -Maura and Mike Pohland, parents of Ava and Alex

  • "We found Bright and Early when our youngest was born and our childcare needs changed from needing part time care to needing full time care. I find it hard to put into words just how special Bright and Early is, and can say it most simply by saying that if I could go back in time and send our older 2 children there full time for 5 years, I would in an instant. Over 5 years, the teachers and staff and Bright and Early became family. They nurtured, loved, cared for and taught every single day. From the baby stages, where childcare is exceptional, to the Pre-K years, where the education is extraordinary, they will take care of your kids every step of the way. We loved it so much for our youngest that we also had our school aged kids do before/after school year. And let's not forget about summer camp - from field trips and themed days, it's everything you need to know your kids are taken care and having fun in the summer months!"
