Your Child Is All Set For Their Next Step In Learning
Young Preschool - Explorers Class | 24 - 35 Months | Serving Washington, DC
Explorers Reach For The Stars With Gentle, Nurturing Teachers
Expert teachers help your 2-year-old navigate this turbulent time with grace and knowledge. Personalized lessons continue to reinforce your child’s interests and skills, while cooperative play and large group activities become more focused.
Building Preschool Readiness Through Playful Adventures
School readiness is a major focus in the Explorers class. You won’t find lots of seat work, though. Instead, your child learns by doing. From outdoor play to arts and crafts, everything they do has a positive effect.
Your 2-Year-Old Is Ready For A Language Explosion
Teachers talk to the children constantly: engaging them in conversation, singing songs, reciting nursery rhymes, and reading books. Adding twice-weekly French lessons and daily conversational Spanish gives your child’s language and literacy skills a chance to shine.
Enrichments Let Their Creativity Shine
Music, dance, yoga, soccer, drama, and Zumbini are just some of the fun enrichment activities that happen each week. Harambee drumming with Baba Ras D is a highlight, as is a monthly visit from a librarian for storytime.
Lots Of Outdoor Play Builds Strong Brains & Bodies
Outdoor play is the highlight of the children’s day, with plenty of toys and space for running, climbing, jumping, spinning, and more. Age-separated areas give little ones the opportunity to play without worrying about exuberant older kids.
2-year-olds are exploring their independence. They want to do things themselves, and are very vocal about likes, dislikes, wants, and needs. This is a prime time for an increased focus on self-regulation and effective communication, which teachers handle with skill.
Everyone loves Chef Annie’s tasty meals and snacks! Your child continues growing their self-care skills, becoming adept at using silverware and cleaning up after themselves. Family-style meals also afford children the chance to learn about community and manners.
Your child is safe and secure at all times during school hours. Security cameras monitor the halls, and staff members escort all guests. Only authorized users have PIN code access to exterior doors.
The Line Leader App Makes Communication Easy
Stay a part of your child’s day with the Line Leader parent app. View new photos and videos taken during the day, read teacher notes, track concerns and questions, and more. Every classroom also has a webcam, so drop in anytime!
I Recommend Bright Start To Any Family Members Looking For A Great School Environment For Their Little Ones😇 The Safety Is Top Tier. They Provide Healthy Meal Option, Help With Potty Training. The Camera Surveillance Is A Huge Plus And I’m Very Grateful And Blessed To Have My Little Ones Attend This School. The Teachers Are Patient And Kind They Actually Teach Our Little Ones And Love Them As Their Own. Hope That It Can Be More Daycares/Schools That Are Safe And Kind Like This One😇

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Bright Start Daycare. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely cares about the children.

"They have music class, yoga, theater..."
Bright Start is a great place if you want your child to be in a loving and nurturing environment. They have music class, yoga, theater and so much to keep the students active and engaged. I highly recommend Bright Start NOMA. They have a wonderful outdoor area, the students are always doing fun projects, they eat really nutritious meals and they have a nice parent app.

I can honestly say that Bright Start has had a special impact on my son’s education. He has been attending Bright Start for over a year now and his vocabulary has extended so much! I love the staff; they create a community/ family atmosphere. My son is always excited to go to school and talks about his teachers Ms.Alexis and Ms.B all the time at home; which I love them and appreciate them both!

We love it here at Bright Start Noma! My son joined just as he turned two and it’s been a great experience. His teachers genuinely care for him and are excited to see him each day. We receive daily feedback and updates and do not have any complaints so far. I love the clean, safe space they have created and we’re excited about how much he has grown since then.

"They take great care of the kids..."
We have truly enjoyed the time my child had in BrightStart! The small setting they have for children has been a great help. My child when he first attended was unable to talk as much now that he has completed the year he is non stop saying words and singing. They take great care of the kids and give them outside time with walks to different areas. Thank you BrightStart for caring and teaching my child.

Bright Start is the best preschool in DC! My daughter is excited to go to school every morning & loves her teachers very much. The environment is cozy and every person who works here is extremely friendly. We love their events. We love their playground and daily reports about how long our daughter slept for, how much she ate from each delicious meal and how many times she went to the bathroom.

"great school for progressing my son’s skills..."
So far, Bright Start has been a great school for progressing my son’s skills all around. He started in the summer at 3years old and I changed his school during that time; enrolling him as a PreK student because he loved the teachers and I love the curriculum. Everyone is welcoming and tends to my son’s specific needs. We appreciate you!

"Our daughter is thriving at Bright Start..."
Our daughter is thriving at Bright Start. She loves her teachers and is excited to go each morning. They have really thought of everything I could possibly want from a childcare center - from serving healthy, fresh meals to providing diapers, lots of outside play time, music, and fun, engaging lesson plans - all in a warm, family environment. I highly recommend Bright Start to other DC families!

Our daughter began attending Bright Start at 18 months old and she is now four. The teachers and staff are caring, thoughtful, and passionate about nurturing children’s emotional, social, and educational development. We felt secure in knowing that our daughter was safe and well-cared for and we are grateful for the stability and continued growth Bright Start provided her. Our daughter loved going to Bright Start and truly thrived here in all ways!

"Her teachers are very loving and attentive..."
Our 2 year old daughter has been going to Bright Start for 2 months and she absolutely loves it. Her teachers are very loving and attentive and she has made some wonderful friends. She particularly enjoys the Zumbini classes. Bright Start takes great precautions against COVID and does an excellent job of communicating with the parents. Watching our child thrive and seeing how excited she is to go to daycare every morning makes it worth every penny!
