Bright Beginnings Preschool
Is an encouraging, caring, and safe environment that is DCFS licensed to help our preschoolers build a strong foundation for their academic future. Through planned learning activities, field trips, family events, and play we make learning fun while preparing them for Kindergarten.
Our state of the art security system and fenced in playground ensures the safety of our students while they learn and play!
Each day, we divide our time between play time and work time. We feel that it is just as important to have time to learn through play as well as comprehension through written and/or oral concepts.

Building your child’s Academic Foundation
Together as a team we help your child build their academic foundation that they will use when they get to elementary school.
We also prepare your child for Kindergarten by teaching them the proper way to hold scissors, how to cut, how to hold a writing utensil, and how to write their name. We want your child to experience a routine that they will use in Kindergarten, so when they get there they will have the confidence to learn and try their best!
We are constantly evaluating your children’s skills in order adjust our curriculum as needed. Progress reports are sent home twice during the school year along with holding conferences to discuss what your child has accomplished up to that point. If there are any needs or concerns they will be addressed.
We hope you will come play, learn, and grow with us!
