BRIGHT! a madison park preschool

From the Director:

Our learning approach is hands-on with emphasis on self-directed learning. Activities are designed to address several areas of pre-leaning including writing, math, science, foreign language, and problem solving.

From the Director:

Our programs are child directed, ie they can choose which activities to participate in, and frequently teacher lead a project design to foster creative thought and problem solving. Our approach to learning opportunities is process based verses result based.

Each child has a unique level and learning style. Our projects and activities are designed to be developmentally appropriate and scalable to meet the different needs of each child.

At BRIGHT, we're focused on providing an enriching environment where your child feels the support and comfort to explore. Children learn by doing, and play is their work. By providing the tools and a child centered curriculum, they have the opportunity to make choices from a wide variety of activities that stimulate their natural curiosity and increase their confidence. With a safe and inviting learning environment, children are exposed to, and relish in, an array of mind-on & hands-on experiences. We focus on the process of learning by providing open-ended, self directed activities that engage a child's curiosity and foster growth and development; physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally.
