Brightside Academy provides child care and early education that prepares children to be life-long learners. We provide early education, before, and after, school, and summer camp programs.

Our program combines state-of-the-art facilities, a nationally recognized curriculum and learning quality credentials that work together to help each child achieve kindergarten readiness. We employ professional teachers with degrees in early childhood education and provide our staff with ongoing professional development opportunities so each one can continually improve their skills and techniques to help children learn better.

We provide support to families through the development of a strong partnership, a sense of community and mutual respect. We believe the best way to ensure a child’s future is by encouraging parents’ active participation. As a Brightside Academy parent you will receive a daily report to monitor your child’s advancement. The report includes information on the child’s routine and care as well as developmental and academic experiences.

Our program includes a comprehensive menu that meets the nutrition standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We partner with the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to improve the diets of our children and to develop healthy eating habits by providing nutritious meals and nutrition education activities.

We accept subsidized payments through a variety of programs.
