Bright & Early Discoveries began in 2016, founded by Jennifer LaMaina. The program’s philosophy is based on play-based learning and creativity, blending indoor and outdoor environments in a home-away-from-home setting where children are described as feeling empowered and ready to learn. It offers home-based settings, early education centers, and before and after school programs, with a warm, intimate home-based environment, individualized routines and learning experiences, and strong educator-family relationships. The program includes preschool and pre-K options focused on school readiness and uses a hands-on, research-backed curriculum with creative learning through art, music, and storytelling.
Bright & Early Discoveries states that it is a nurturing, inclusive childcare community with a diverse, all-inclusive environment that honors every culture and family. The curriculum includes a focus on empathy, kindness, and respect for others and the environment. Families have access to flexible hours, real classroom visibility through high-quality, video-first marketing, and updates through the Procare app. The program uses CDC-recommended cleaning products and routines, limits access to the facility to authorized personnel and parents or family members with permission, and serves healthy chef-prepared meals each day that meet dietary restrictions.
