Programs

Infants

8 weeks - 12 months

Our infant program combines structure, learning, playing, and constant care-taking so infants are assured a safe, stimulating, and fun-filled environment. Bright Beginnings Child Development Center personnel are extensively trained and devoted to help these little ones develop important emotional, cognitive, social, and physical skills. Activities may include, playing with toys, art, pretending, enjoying stories and books, discovering sand and water, music, and exploring outdoors. We will keep your child on his/her daily schedule as much as possible. Our staff are all trained in CPR/First Aid and can provide a safe environment for your baby.

We recognize this is the first step of a child’s educational path, but it is likely a new routine for parents as well. Our staff communicates with parents as needed and provides a daily log of activities, milestones, funny moments, etc. using our Brightwheel App.

Brighter Beginnings currently has a waitlist in place for ALL classrooms at both locations so it is a good idea to tour our facilities early to ensure we have a space for your child when you need it. To be added to our waitlist please email us at brighterbeginningscdc@gmail.com.

Food for Infants and Crawlers

Please bring prepared bottles or sippy cups and/or necessary food labeled with your child’s name and the date. PLEASE REMEMBER that bottles and sippy cups will be rinsed only, these items must be taken home daily to properly clean and sanitize. These items will be placed in the classroom refrigerator as needed, we will use a bottle warmer to warm bottles for infants who require it. Infants requiring cereal to be added to their formula must provide a note from their pediatrician.

Daily Schedule

Infants are growing and adapting at rapid rates so our staff is guided to be flexible and assess each child individually. While each day involves motor skills enhancement, brain power exercises, arts and crafts, nap times, eating, physical activity, and music, each child’s schedule will be modified based on their unique needs. Our day is action-packed with learning lessons combined with feeding time, naptime, circle time, and floor play. The day includes outside time (weather permitting). Inside, children are exposed to group activities (i.e. story time, songs, games) and personal one-on-one interaction (i.e. puzzles, independent play, tummy time practice).
