Over the years the demand for childcare services has changed and Bright Beginnings has grown on and adapted to suit this need. We are an inclusionary program. Activities are planned to accommodate and facilitate the different levels of participation by the child with particular skill areas. Our focus is to build on the child’s strengths while supporting their weaknesses. Activities are planned through collaboration of teachers and parents. Our entire program promotes the child’s physical, self-help, language, cognitive, creative expression, aesthetic and social-emotional development.
