Our Mission

Bright Start Daycare & Preschool is designed to meet the developmental and emotional needs of your children.  We provide the opportunity to build on children’s cognitive and social skills by exploring language, creating a safe place for social interactions, and learning problem solving through hands-on activities.  We believe that the caregiver’s primary responsibility is to assist the child in growing to his or her fullest potential.  Children learn best in an environment where relationships are warm, so the emphasis is placed on the process rather than the product.  We recognize that each child develops at his or her own rate, so we assist each child individually.  We believe that by respecting the children they will have the freedom and knowledge to make choices that will give them a bright future.
