Bright Start provides a loving and safe Christian environment for children, preparing them for a lifelong love of learning and aiding the transition into kindergarten.​

​

Our goals are to help each child:

​

• Learn social skills

• Share equipment and adult attention

• Grow in verbal expression

• Make a smooth transition from home to school

• Clean up after oneself

• Improve ability to complete tasks

• Develop an early appreciation of nature

• Experience the joy of books

• Participate in group activities

• Acquire pre-kindergarten skills (scissor handling, listening skills, pre-reading, turn taking, etc.)
