About Us

IMPORTANT DATES

Our Philosophy

 

The program at Bright Heights is based on Piaget's theory that children learn best by doing. Providing a curriculum that includes a stimulating, learning environment with developmentally appropriate activities, gives each child the opportunity to grow at his or her own pace.

 

We want your children to see how the skills they are learning can be meaningful to them. A fundamental component of the program is encouraging feelings of competence in the child by offering choices throughout the day. Self-esteem is the single most important attribute we can foster in a child. This single characteristic fosters an "I Can" attitude that is crucial to their future years of learning.

 

Our Specialized Teacher Training

 

The qualities first and foremost required of each teacher hired by Bright Heights are a love for children and a passion for making a difference. Our teachers come to us with varying degrees of experience and education.We have teachers who began with Bright Heights after receiving a formal education in the early childhood field. We also have teachers who began with us as assistants with no formal education or experience at all.

 

As long as they have the desire, the Edge Teacher Training Program can provide a complete program or a supplementary program to the one a teacher already has. Bright Heights invests in its staff so that the children and families receive the benefit of their knowledge and dedication. Long-term staff provides consistency and quality for the families that we serve and Bright Heights places great value on its qualified teachers.
