At Bright Days Preschool we strive to know each child’s unique and creative abilities, nurturing them in a play-based environment, emphasizing positive social, emotional and cognitive growth through developmentally appropriate activities.

Our program is designed to promote the development of the whole child, in a child-centered environment. This involves presenting children with quality materials appropriate for their level of development in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing, encourages creativity and allows them to build on concepts. Further, in their roles as observer, stage manager and mediator, our teachers work to promote resilience and mastery in play. Within the context of a specific relationship, our teachers are extremely thoughtful about how, what and when they speak and act, so that their support of the child is useful.

Our curriculum is planned to build on concepts as the year progresses, with age-appropriate projects and activities.  Activities are planned to:

  • foster positive self-concept,

  • develop social skills and promote pro social behavior,

  • facilitate the development of self-help skills and responsibility,

  • encourage children to think, reason, question and experiment,

  • enhance the development of language and communication,

  • enhance physical development and skills,

  • allow for individual differences and ableness,

  • furnish opportunities for exploring nature and the physical environment,

  • encourage creativity and appreciation for the arts,

  • demonstrate sound health, safety and nutritional practices, and

  • respect the cultural diversity of children and staff.

The heart and soul of Bright Days is the commitment of our teachers to the establishment of quality, caring relationships with the children in their care. That is how they are able to foster resilient minds and promote healthy development of the child.
