☼ Philosophy Statement

Philosophy: Bright Futures Early Learning Center supports an effective early childhood program that recognizes each child as a whole person, whose growth occurs in developmental stages that are uniquely individual and continuous.

Environment: Children learn when they are in an environment where teacher-child, child-child, and child-environment interactions are at high levels. Learning is seen as an active process where knowledge is constructed as well as acquired.

Behavior Management: The Love and Logic method of behavior management is utilized at Bright Futures Early Learning Center. Love and Logic strategies promote responsibility and self-direction while fostering self-esteem and thinking, communication, and collaboration skills.

Curriculum: The curriculum is based on strategies that provide a balance of child-initiated and teacher-initiated activities, which enhance the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development of each child.

Staff: The staff believes in a warm, loving environment that provides children with physical and psychological safety. Teachers and parents working as a team provide the learning experiences and models, fostering positive attitudes and dispositions toward learning.
