About the Provider

Description: We take great pride in the programs we teach here at Bright Eyes. We feel that learning takes place at all ages and that all children need to be challenged to reach their full learning potential. We strive to make learning fun and enjoyable as well as structured and stimulating. Our infant, toddler and two year old programs follow the Creative Curriculum. Our teachers are committed to making your child feel welcome and motivated to learn new things. Our teachers make their own lesson plans that are approved by the director to ensure that the teachings are appropriate per age group. The children follow the same daily routine each day to help the children understand repetition. The children in these classrooms will do circle time, story time, arts and crafts, sign language and so much more. Your probably thinking, all this with infants too? Yes, we feel that this helps the children with social and cognitive skills to be included in each activity. All children get to go outside on weather permitting days and when the weather is not so nice, our teachers plan activities to do indoors to keep the children motivated and active.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Our children have been attending Bright Eyes since 2006 when my oldest son was 3. Currently, though our oldest son has "graduated" from daycare, my youngest son still attends. We have been very happy with our experiences at this center. The staff is great and the environment is wonderful for the children. The toddler and pre-K programs were great in helping my kids prepare for elementary school.

For those whose children attend Judith Resnik Elementary, it is a great convenience having the daycare next door. The staff walk the students to school in the mornings and walk them back in the afternoons. The school age kids are also able to play on the school's playground after school.

The summer program at Bright Eyes keeps the children active throughout the summer. Weekly field trips, visits to a nearby pool, and frequent playground visits keep the kids busy.

We were very lucky in finding out about this center when they first opened and have never regretted the decision for our children to attend. A great place!

I just called to get their rates and some other information because I saw them online. Person answered the phone seemingly had more important things to do than to answer my questions. For the rate, its surprising that I didn't get a better first impression. Wow...
