Spanish-Speaking Teachers, Bilingual Lessons, & More

Here, your child can feel safe and at home in the presence of their Spanish-speaking teachers. Alongside weekly Spanish lessons, your child will love immersing themselves in a culturally rich and diverse community and education.

Personalized Attention With Small Class Ratios

Whether your child needs extra help learning a tricky concept or wants to quickly master a new skill, with small class ratios, teachers have an opportunity to work closely with your child. Extra attention, guidance, and communication allow teachers to match your child’s pace and adjust learning accordingly.

Parents also rave about our tight-knit community, allowing them to come into the classroom, volunteer with the other children, and build a stronger connection with those in our community.

Research-Backed Learning That Develops All Your Child’s Skills

Diving into their comprehensive, research-backed curriculum, your little one learns everything from essential math skills to social skills. Hands-on projects and activities use play to blend education with fun, making for effective and engaging learning.

Your little adventurer will love to explore and discover new passions as they try yoga, Spanish lessons, gardening, art, and more. Their learning is always exciting and fresh, while also building a well-rounded skillset they can carry with them throughout future classrooms and life.

Age-Separated Playgrounds Make For Safe Outdoor Play

We’re so thrilled with BED. My 4-year-old and 1.5-year-old have gone there for over a year and are tremendously happy and loved. The creativity, care, and thought that goes into each day are amazing. The Pre-K education is fantastic. As a working parent, knowing our children are at a school they love is invaluable. Thank you to the entire team!

This childcare program is simply the best. I tried other places for my son, and I’m happy with the choice I made three years ago. The staff is professional, and the program is very creative, with various activities to keep children busy throughout their learning process. Thank you, folks, from my heart!

Absolutely amazing!!! The staff here is lovely! I was a stay-at-home mom for my son (2 years old), and after having my daughter (6 months old), I needed to go back to work! My daughter doesn’t cry at drop-offs; I genuinely feel like we have a second family! Super friendly, and they update through the app all day, which is reassuring also! Highly recommend!

The BED family allows each child to progress at their own developmental pace. It is a nurturing, safe, child-centered environment. We could not be happier with our choice to send our little one here. She has grown and learned so much socially and academically.

The first time I dropped my daughter off at BED was an emotional day. Fast forward almost three years later, I can see that Julie’s social skills and ability to learn are all thanks to her dedicated teachers and staff/family at Bright and Early. The teachers put their heart and soul into their jobs. All thanks to her dedicated teachers and staff/family at Bright and Early.

My grandson loves it. He amazes us daily about the fun he has and all he learns. The nature subjects especially interest him. All he has learned about bugs, butterflies, animals, weather, and his letters and numbers. He thinks it’s all play! We love this place!

I loved BED from day one when my husband and I went to meet the staff while I was pregnant. Everyone is warm and inviting; you can see they genuinely love their work. I was very uneasy on my daughter’s first day of daycare, but they made me feel so comfortable, and I knew she was in great hands!

Whenever I drop my daughter off, I see genuine care from all the staff, even if they are not her teachers. They still know her name and always say hello to us. Her teachers treat her just as if she were one of their kids. They always meet all the children’s needs. I am so happy that our family is blessed to have become a part of the Bright and Early Discoveries community.

As parents, we get so nervous about leaving our kids with strangers. But these “strangers” quickly became family and do so many incredible things with our children. They are learning and growing every day, and the teachers take plenty of pictures to make us feel like we can be a part of it all. They truly go above and beyond, and I can’t say enough good things about this place!
