Bright Beginnings Childcare Centres have been part of the early childhood education fabric in Whanganui for over 25 years. We have seen hundred’s of families come through our doors. We have witnessed young children blossom into parents themselves. We are starting to see 2nd generation families come back through the front gates.
We believe in family – your family, the Bright Beginnings family. Core values that your child will develop. We believe in preparing your child for school – not a focus on academics, but a focus on social competence. The ability to independantly navigate their way through life, to make good decisions, to be sociable, to be strong – to be a good person.
We also believe we have the best team of staff in Whanganui. Staff who are loyal to their teaching beliefs. Staff who are loyal to your child. Staff who are loyal to Bright Beginnings.
Because, to truly create an environment in which your child will flourish takes years of caring, of development and of a sense of family, that only Bright Beginnings can offer.
