About the Provider

Description: The philosophy of Bright Start Nursery School is to provide a warm, nurturing environment that will enhance your child's social, physical, emotional, creative, and academic development. We provide an imaginative, structured program that enables children to explore their surroundings through guided activities and free play. We also feel that it is important for children to have a positive self-image and learn to play and work with others. We recognize that each child is an individual and must be afforded the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace.

Great preschool and childcare center! My children have been enrolled for over 2 years. Staff is wonderful and caring. They go out of their way to accommodate and make our children feel safe and loved. My son was so prepared for kindergarten. Owner is professional and friendly.
