My daughter has attended this preschool program for 2 years now. We've been really happy with Bright Beginnings. I don't speak Spanish or know sign language, but my daughter does thanks to her teachers and she is only 3 years old! She happily sings songs in Spanish and talks to herself in Spanish when she plays. She has also been developing a great deal socially and emotionally to be a kind and sharing girl, which makes me very happy. She used to get upset with her cousins and neighborhood children when they came over to our house and played with her toys, but now she is much better at sharing. At school the other day she was playing playdough with some other children and another child came up to them and wanted to play but there was none left. She pulled up a seat for him and gave him half her playdough, I was really proud. She has grown not just intellectually, but also socially and emotionally since she has attended this school (she started at a year old here). The teachers pay a lot of attention to this and use teachable moments to demonstrate manners and good character when opportunities arise. They teach good behavior in a child led way, where the kids discuss how they feel about certain things and brainstorm appropriate responses. I love this school and am very happy with the teachers and structured learning program.
