Bright Beginnings Child Development Center..

Have you ever wondered where children living in shelters go during the day? Where do they learn? Where do they play? Where do they go to feel safe?

Bright Beginnings understands the special needs of young children and families living in homeless environments and through safe, nurturing, developmentally appropriate care, supports children to reach important childhood milestones and parents to end their homelessness.

Programs

Bright Beginnings takes a holistic approach to meeting the special needs of homeless families with young children and has developed a comprehensive program to include educational, therapeutic and family support services. Research repeatedly indicates that children living in homeless environments experience increased health problems, developmental delays, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems and lower educational achievement. Bright Beginnings understands the complex needs of our children and supports them to reach important developmental milestones. At the same time, Bright Beginnings supports parents to overcome barriers to self-sufficiency and end their homelessness.
