Our School Age Program offers a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where children can learn, play, and grow—before school, after school, or all summer long.

  At Brite Beginnings, we know that moving to a new classroom is an exciting milestone in your child’s growth. Transitions are carefully planned to ensure your child feels safe, supported, and confident as they adjust to their new environment, teachers, and routines.

• Family Communication: Families will be notified in advance when their child is ready for the next classroom. Teachers and directors will meet with you to answer questions and explain what to expect.
   
• Developmental Readiness: Transitions are based on your child’s age and individual developmental needs. We make sure each child is ready emotionally, socially, and physically before moving.
   
• Gradual Visits: Your child will spend short periods of time in their new classroom before the official move. This helps them get to know the teachers, new friends, and routines in a comfortable way.
   
• Teacher Collaboration: Current and new teachers work together to share information about your child’s schedule, preferences, and developmental progress, ensuring continuity of care.
   
• Family Partnership: We encourage families to visit the new classroom, meet the teachers, and share any insights to help with a smooth transition.
   

• Continued support and communication from staff during and after the move.
   
• A nurturing process that respects your child’s pace, personality, and comfort level.
   

We believe every transition is an opportunity for growth and success, and we are committed to making the experience positive for your child and family.
