Bright Futures Preschool

Mission -
Bright Futures Preschool is committed to providing a high quality early childhood preschool experience for students and their families. The preschool experience will provide a developmental preschool program that enhances each child’s development in the areas of social/emotional skills, adaptive/self-help skills, cognitive ability, motor concepts, and language/speech acquisition. The curriculum and teacher/child interaction go together to provide each child with an individual approach to learning. Program activities encourage exploration, problem solving, self-expression, and kindergarten readiness skills. Bright Futures is dedicated to creating a safe, fun and exciting place for children to succeed.
