Core Knowledge Curriculum
Bright Beginning's curriculum is called The Core Knowledge Preschool Program and is based on scientific research about how young children learn, as well as research into the best preschool practices around the world.
We can, and must, establish high expectations for all young children, recognizing that the rates and approaches to learning may vary among individuals. This program is specifically designed to provide your child with the solid foundation he or she will need for later learning in kindergarten and beyond.

How is Core Knowledge Different from Other Preschool Programs...

Core Knowledge focuses on:
  identifying specific goals in all areas of learning
  setting high expectations for all children
  teaching the specific content knowledge and skills that allow children to be successful in kindergarten and later grades
