From crawlers to runners, Bright Start's teachers in the Tiny Twaddlers and "Get Set" Programs provide support for our infants as they become more mobile, and begin moving around. Your “twaddler” will begin transitioning from the use of a pacifier, as well as learning to play in small group settings.
We focus on discovery and social growth, supporting children's development with daily circle time, stories, and imaginative play.

Our active One year olds are transitioning into busy little toddlers at a fast pace in this classroom. Children are transitioned from high chairs to tables, as well as from cribs to cots. Our Language Rich Environments strive to help our little ones find and use their words.
2 Year Olds - The Terrific Toddlin’ Toddlers
Toddlers are incredibly energetic and curious, something we aim to encourage throughout their time with us! We continue to build on their self-help skills, extending the foundation of their learning and inspiring them with a lifelong love of learning.
By combining imaginative play, arts and crafts, circle time, outdoor play, and more, we are able to provide children with an environment that makes learning fun. Our two year old classrooms are the transition classes of our children from toddlers to preschoolers. These classrooms are committed to potty training and increasing the self help skills of our little ones.
Children will also continue to build their social skills, taking part in group activities and learning to understand concepts such as sharing and turn-taking.
