Bright Start Learning Center

A nonprofit organization

Every morning, children step through the doors of Bright Start Learning Center ready to learn, explore, and feel loved. That joy is at the heart of everything we do.

 What makes Bright Start special isn’t just the classrooms or the curriculum, it’s the community inside. Our families trust us, lean on us, and celebrate with us. Over time, they become part of our family.

We currently serve children 12 months through 7 years old We are the only licensed toddler care provider in Lake county. Our dream is to continue expanding so we can support infants one day, more toddlers and preschoolers in a time of critical learning and development.

We are incredibly proud of the team behind this work. Our teachers are dedicated, passionate, and pursuing continued education in early childhood development. Thanks to their commitment, we are experiencing our strongest staff retention yet. A stability that makes a world of difference for the children we serve.

This year, we celebrated a huge milestone: we expanded and opened a new classroom in August, allowing us to welcome more little learners. We’re just getting started. With continued community support, we hope to continue to grow, more classrooms, more opportunities, and more families served.

Because every child deserves a nurturing place where they are seen, supported, and encouraged to shine.

At Bright Start Learning Center, we are building the future. One relationship, one teacher, and one child at a time. 💛

Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe, developmentally appropriate, high-quality care and educational environment for children 1-7 years of age in all domains of learning. By using a whole-child approach, our experienced and trained educators will work collaboratively with families to build a bridge between community, home, and school, and will use evidence-based strategies and curriculum to prepare children for a successful Kindergarten experience.
