Our Misson
Bright and Busy Daycare provides a safe, stimulating, and caring environment for children ages 2-5 years. Our mission is to provide an encouraging educational experience, promoting social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. We are committed to the families we serve. We strive to give parents peace of mind, while being seen as a shining example of what a quality child care center should be.
What We Offer
Two-year-old program
We offer a 5-hour or full-day private program for 2-year-old children. This program consists of a balanced curriculum of structured activities, based on thematic unit of study and free play. We want to ensure the children are having fun and learning the skills necessary to be successful in our Pre-K and, ultimately, Kindergarten. This program has a rolling admission process.
Preschool program for ages 3 and 4
We offer a 3 hour or full day private program for 3- and 4-year-old children. The Montessori inspired curriculum is more advanced than most Pre-k programs. They are introduced to reading, while pre-k students in many other programs are just learning to recognize letters and numbers. Students learn through hands-on experience, investigating and research. They become actively engaged in their studies, rather than passive listeners.
What We Offer
Enrichment Programs
At Bright & Busy Daycare, we offer several enrichment programs, including yoga, music, and Mandarin, each taking place once a week.
During yoga sessions, children will have the opportunity to develop their emotional regulation, improve concentration, enhance social interaction, work on body awareness, strengthen physical health, and, most importantly, have fun!
In our music program, children will have the chance to work on cognitive development, fine motor skills, emotional expression, improved listening skills, cultural awareness, and social skills.
In our Mandarin classes, children are exposed to increased cultural awareness, enhanced problem-solving skills, development of cognitive flexibility, and improvement in social skills.
