We recently emailed our families about an event, A BRIGHT DAY for BRIGHT START PRESCHOOL. We wanted to remind you that this event is this upcoming Saturday. Drop in between 10:00 and 11:00. Hope to see you there! Details below: Bright Start Preschool families, we would like to extend an invitation to our students who were enrolled in the 2019-2020 school year AND the 2020-2021 school year to stop by for a hello on Saturday, September 26th between 10:00 and 11:00 am. We... have a free book gift for your student and we will have some time to play and visit outdoors. Each student must have one parent or grown up in attendance with them. Please consider leaving siblings and additional grown ups at home in order for us to stay within group size limitations. Plan on using the bathroom before you come - we won't be using the building. Masks required for anyone over the age of 2. Looking forward to seeing you! WHO: Bright Start students & a parent WHEN: Sat 9/26/20 drop in any time between 10:00 am & 11:00 am WHY: to make connections within our preschool family

Five years ago we were transforming our preschool space! I'm thankful for this warm and cheery learning environment.

Midcontinent Public Library's summer reading program has begun!

This week marked our last day of preschool. We wrapped up our virtual lessons and story times in our private group. On Monday, May 18th, we are going to do another preschool pick up from 11:30-12:30. Just like last time, you may remain in your vehicles and we will bring items out to you. We have portfolios and a few other things to send home. We're looking forward to seeing you then!

Here's a peek at what we've got going on in our private group - reading, sharing, connecting, and encouraging inquiry & self-discovery. I'm not sharing any photos parents have posted of their preschoolers here, but parents, if you'd like to share any of your photos, I'd love for you to drop them in the comments below. - Laura, Bright Start Director
