Growing Independence with Loving Guidance
Our Gifted Toddlers early preschool program is designed for children ages 2-3 as they build independence, language, and social confidence.

Designed for Toddlers
Classroom Environment
Our Gifted Toddlers classrooms are created for children ages 2-3 as they build independence, language skills, and social confidence. Open floor space, colorful rugs, and dedicated areas for circle time and independent play give toddlers room to explore while learning to share, take turns, and interact with friends.
To support different stages within the twos, Gifted Toddlers A serves ages 24-30 months, and Gifted Toddlers B serves ages 30-36 months. Each classroom includes a bathroom for potty-training support, personal sleeping cots that are disinfected daily, and toys and surfaces that are regularly sanitized. With two teachers and a maximum of 16 children, we maintain a 1:8 teacher-student ratio throughout the day.
Building Confidence Through Guided Discovery
Frog Street Curriculum
Our Gifted Toddlers are introduced to Frog Street, a nationally recognized curriculum for children aged two and older. Through thematic activity guides, books, stories, songs, poems, chants, and hands-on learning, toddlers build receptive and expressive language, coordination, balance, problem-solving skills, confidence, and social-emotional growth.
Social, Emotional, & Academic Growth
Teachers support each toddler through trusting relationships, pretend play, early phonics, vocabulary, featured stories, and structured math activities. Children begin sorting, matching, counting, and exploring basic addition and subtraction while learning to follow directions, resolve conflicts, express feelings, and make thoughtful choices.
Faith-Filled Foundations
Age-appropriate Christian materials introduce Bible stories that begin building kindness, love, and character. During center time, toddlers explore toys, books, and hands-on materials independently. Families also receive daily updates on meals, naps, diapering, potty training, classroom activities, and special moments from the day.

My daughter has been attending Bright Scholars since she was two years old, and now at four she is in Ms. Hyre’s VPK class. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. My daughter comes home every day excited to share something new she has learned. It brings me so much joy to see her thriving and growing. I know she will be more than ready for kindergarten thanks to Ms. Hyre and the amazing support from the Bright Scholars team. Thank you to the entire Bright Scholars family! We love you all!
Bright Scholars has been a true blessing to my family. As a first time mom who was really worried about sending her kid to daycare when she had to go back to work, this was the best place we could have sent him. They truly make you feel like your child is their family and the teachers are truly amazing. We have been so lucky to have formed so many connections with teachers there. Everyone knows my childs name, even if he has never been in their class and they always make him smile when we walk in. They truly have a passion for children and do everything in their power to ensure your child is treated just the way you would treat them at home. They also do such a wonderful job of catering to your specific child and working with you to ensure you feel comfortable with the care they are receiving.
Making the decision of placing your child into a early learning center is not the easiest and most likely it is a very emotional decision as it was for us. Yet from the first time we stepped foot into Bright Scholars, we knew this would be the place for our little one. The owner and directors are hands on. The chef is always smiling. All the teachers know the kids by name, even if the kid isn’t in their classroom. And in my case, Mrs. Pina and Ms. Estrada have been a blessing to our family. Our little one has learned so much and enjoys her time in school. She talks about her teachers and all that they do. She expresses how much she cares of them. Mrs. Pina and Ms. Estrada even helped with the potty training. Within the second week of enrollment, my kid was potty trained.
The school itself has so many activities and special events where the family can join in.
We are loving our experience at Bright Scholars.
We absolutely love Bright scholars! My daughter has been attending since she was 3 months old and is now almost 4 years old. Not only is the curriculum outstanding but the activities the school plans for the kids and parents makes the learning environment so fun and more than what we could have ever expected. The staff is loving, caring, attentive, and has become like family over the years. It brings our family peace knowing our daughter is the best hands when we are at work. Our daughter truly loves going to school and is excelling so much for her age and we can’t thank Bright Scholars enough for that. Highly recommend this school!!
We have been with Bright Scholars since 2019 and wouldn’t go anywhere else. All 3 of my boys have attended this school. The staff is professional and reliable. The facility is always spotless. I love that they also have cameras in your child’s classroom so you can glance in. I love this school!!!
I have nothing but exceptional things to say about Bright Scholars Academy! My daughter’s morning VPK class with Ms. Gonzalez & Ms. Hernandez was sooo wonderful & instrumental in teaching her things and preparing her for Kindergarten. The methods they use to teach kids has made her love learning & I know she will truly miss her teachers and staff there. I am so happy we chose to put her in Bright Scholars & I love receiving updates throughout the day of her activities and all the cute things being done in the classroom. The teachers are so compassionate & understand with the children and you can see the love they have for their students! Thank you again for taking care of my baby.
