Bright Start ELC is licensed by the state of Arkansas and proudly holds a Quality Accreditation and Better Beginnings Level 3 certificate, ensuring the highest standards of early childhood education.
Engaging Themes for Early Learning
At Bright Start, we use a thematic approach to learning, introducing new themes every one to two weeks. These themes are carefully aligned with the Arkansas Early Childhood Frameworks to support developmental milestones and prepare children for a successful transition to kindergarten. Our curriculum is designed to engage young minds and foster a love for learning.
Family Literacy Program
Our commitment to education extends beyond the classroom through our comprehensive family literacy program. We offer weekly sessions where parents and children explore books and activities related to the current unit of study. This program strengthens learning at home and enhances family involvement in the educational process. Additionally, we host large group meetings each month to further support family engagement and community building.
