Bright Future Child Care Center is an award winning program! In 2021 and 2024 we were awarded "Best Child Care" by the families of Brooklyn Park in the annual Sun Post Readers Choice Awards. Bright Future is licensed through the MN Dept of Young Children and Families, as well as Parent Aware Rated - 3 Stars. We offer a developmentally appropriate, learning environment for all children with a commitment to cultivate the brilliance in each child through hands on exploration of our focus areas; Academics, The Arts, Culture and Community. Specifically influenced by the developmental-interaction approach and our accredited curriculum we procure a method of engaging in our focus areas, implementing the MN ECIPs, and achieving growth determined by fall and spring assessment.
Our curriculum Funshine Express is Parent Aware rated and recommended by the state. The benefits of Funshine Express include parent information about content and helpful hints, differentiation methods within in the lesson plans, and an assessment procedure aimed in relaying the information easily to families. The children will grow developmentally in these specific areas: reasoning, decision-making, problem solving, creativity, self-esteem, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
In addition to Funshine Express we supplement learning with our preschool class by introducing reading through our fun, age-appropriate, Early Reader's Group. All children become familiar with pre-reading skills such as reading left to right, fundamentals like setting and plot, as well forming simple words by putting letter sounds together. While all children learn pre-reading skills, 4 out of 5 of children enter Kindergarten reading at a Kindergarten level, or higher, while attending Bright Future Child Care Center.

Screening is a brief, simple procedure used to identify potential health or developmental problems in infants and young children who may need a health assessment, diagnostic assessment or educational evaluation. Screening in early childhood supports children's readiness for kindergarten and promotes health and development. Screening includes vision and hearing, height and weight, immunization review, large and small muscles, thinking, language and communication skills, as well as social and emotional development.

“School readiness involves more than just children. In the broadest sense, school readiness is about children, families, early environments, schools, and communities. Children are not innately “ready” or “not ready” for school. Their skills and development are strongly influenced by their families and through their interactions with other people and environments before coming to their child, and maintains a positive home-to-school connection.”

“A community that is ready to support its children ensures access to health care, provides quality childcare and early education, and invests in resources for families.”
“School readiness occurs when children have the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for success in primary school, later learning, and life. Physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development are essential ingredients of school readiness. School readiness refers not only to ready children, but to ready communities, families, and schools.“
