Educational Philosophy of BrightMinds: At BrightMinds Childcare and Preschool our goal is to provide all of the children in our care a clean, safe, loving environment, where they can play and learn. Respect towards self, others, and the environment will be emphasized. We believe in the value of both structured and flexible schedules. Structured activities will include the use of creative curriculum, regularly reading times, art and crafts, musical activities, outdoor play, and free play. The most important priority is to have FUN!! Each child is an individual and needs to be treated as such. They come to us in all shapes and sizes and at all stages of development. BrightMinds Childcare and Preschool will guide them through these stages and build upon them. “The secret to caring for a child is actually CARING for the child.”
