and we are dedicated to providing a wonderful positive professional environment in which everyone can collaborate and flourish. In addition to what happens in their own classroom and center, our Teachers get to connect with other B&E Teachers across the state, sharing the experience of learning opportunities and team building. We are truly grateful for each and every Teacher that has chosen Bright & Early as the place to care for and educate children. You can feel the family-like energy, the welcoming vibe, and see all of the friendships that formed by working together toward the shared goal of caring for and educating young children. Our Teachers love to share their heartwarming reflections of their experiences at Bright & Early.
In the summer of 2022, we celebrated 25 years of Bright & Early. See what our amazing Teachers have to say about being a part of our community!
