About the Provider

Description: At BRIGHT STAR, your child discovers the joys of learning in a happy, secure and totally non-competitive atmosphere.

We encourage creativity and curiosity. As the children begin to explore the mysteries of the beautiful world around them, an excitement is created which is the foundation of learning. This enjoyment will last a lifetime!

We believe in letting each work individually at his or her own pace. Learning is geared toward the interest of each child. Individual attention is given to those who have special needs and to the gifted learner. The highest standard of child centered education will be offered to fit each child’s learning style. We also specialize in working with families that have concerns dealing with adoption and languages other than English.

We are helping to ensure that every child’s Bright Star will shine!
