Enjoy the Bright Start Approach to Learning
We have created a curriculum for all classrooms with activities that are designed to be different, flexible, and encourage active hands-on learning because all children are unique with individual abilities. This allows each child the freedom and opportunity to develop at their own pace.
Feel Confident Your Child Will Be Ready For Kindergarten
By incorporating the “Foundations” in our early learning curriculum, our program excels in these 3 key areas:
Assessments Give You A Clear Perspective Into Your Child’s Growth & Development
By using an assessment tool created by the state of Indiana to ensure Kindergarten readiness through the “Foundations,” our teachers focus on each child’s developmental progress. This allows teachers to create curriculum based on where each child is developmentally to ensure all stages of development are being met.
Teachers Provide Different Levels Of Educational Content Based On Your Child’s Needs
Because the “Foundations” are developmental skills that build upon each other, teachers are able to create one activity for the children and manipulate that activity to meet the individual developmental needs of each child
Our Focus Goes Beyond Your Child’s Educational Development
We understand that in order for a young child to be successful it is important to focus on the entirety of all growth and developmental areas. All curriculum tools used are based on research and best practices that focus on the following benchmarks: English/Language, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, art, Creative Arts, Social/Emotional, Large/Small motor, Personal Care and Safety.
