Eligibility

Students are eligible for enrollment at the Bright Beginnings Center when they are 2.9 years old as of the first day of school for the school year of enrollment. BBC offers full and partial day programming for students ages 2.9 to 5 years of age in addition to extended day programming for those students who attend full day classes. The program gives priority to Hopedale residents but is also open to residents of neighboring communities.

Philosophy

The Bright Beginnings preschool program is committed to providing all children with a wide range of developmentally appropriate practices where they are able to develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively at their own pace. Our program supports the relationship between children, their families and the preschool staff.

The Bright Beginnings Center is a DESE run preschool program following the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. BBC strives to provide learning opportunities through purposeful play in the classroom. These activities engage the children to explore, experiment, imitate, ask questions and be questioned to further their thinking and program solving skills.
