Our Philosophy

Starbright emphasizes creativity, self-discipline, self-worth, and a positive attitude in dealing with life. Children are constantly reminded of their beauty, intelligence, and uniqueness. Above all, emphasis is placed on promoting emotional security and happiness in each child.

Starbright supports the concept that children learn by playing. Playing is the child’s work. Hands-on toys and educational materials are the “texts” of early childhood classrooms. We do not push or pressure children to perform the more academic skills. Instead, we supply the environment and professional guidance so that when children are ready, they have the resources to grow to their greatest capacity.

Starbright offers an eclectic approach to teaching young children that does not rely on one theory alone. While the curriculum at Starbright offers educational activities that enhance both academic and artistic development, teachers understand the importance of developmentally appropriate teaching practices that precede teacher-directed methods found in elementary school.
