About

At Bright Beginnings our mission is to provide high-quality, safe, nurturing, and engaging early childhood programs for preschool children while supporting each unique family unit. We strive to allow each child to develop at his or her own rate with the goal of a successful transition into kindergarten and beyond. At Bright Beginnings we pride ourselves on having an award-winning Creative Curriculum that combines Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Waldorf concepts to meet each child's individual needs. Our curriculum has been developed over 35 years and each year a team of master degreed, elementary school teachers continue to expand our curriculum with current and innovative educational insights.


Our super convenient Forest Lakes location is conveniently near Ruckersville and Earlysville and Greene County.

Our Forest Lakes location was completely renovated head to toe in 2017 with brand new flooring, classroom equipment, rugs, and lighting as well as freshly painted interiors - everything you can think of we remodeled! When you walk into our school you will see our spacious and beautiful lobby complete with a Director desk and parent lounge including a coffee station (our parents love bringing in their coffee cup in the mornings for complimentary coffee when they drop off their children!) Interior and exterior security cameras have also been installed throughout our building for administrative use.

The Forest Lakes property includes 3 large playgrounds divided by age group which have all recently been expanded to provide ample outside space for our children to play and explore. In the summertime, our children love to cool off outside on our splash pads for sprinkler play! Our property also has a wonderful organic garden for our children to learn all about where their food comes from. We are incredibly proud to be Outdoor Classroom Project - Level 2 Certified! We are Virginia's only Outdoor Classroom Project certified school - We have tents, tables, outside hand-wash stations, sensory exploration tables, and so much more for our Outdoor Classrooms. Ask us about our Outdoor classrooms when you tour!
