Age-Focused Learning Experiences

Infants

A calm, nurturing environment where infants feel safe, loved, and supported during their earliest stages of development. Our infant program focuses on building strong attachments while gently encouraging exploration through sensory-rich experiences.

Through the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum, infants benefit from:

• Responsive caregiving that supports emotional security and trust.

• Sensory and motor experiences that encourage movement, curiosity, and discovery.
• Early communication development through songs, stories, and interaction.

• Individualized observation and progress tracking shared with families.

Every moment is guided by your child’s natural rhythms, ensuring their first learning experiences are comforting, meaningful, and developmentally supportive.

Toddlers

An active, engaging environment that encourages independence while supporting big developmental leaps. Our toddler program nurtures curiosity, language growth, and social connection through guided play and daily routines.

Through the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum, toddlers benefit from:

• Language-rich activities that support communication and expression.

• Exploration-based learning that builds problem-solving and confidence.

• Hands-on creative play that strengthens fine and gross motor skills.

Toddlers are supported as they explore their world, build confidence, and begin forming meaningful relationships in a structured, nurturing setting.

Preschool

A purposeful, play-based learning environment that prepares children for kindergarten while honoring creativity and individuality. Our preschool program blends academic foundations with social-emotional growth and collaborative learning.

School-Age

A supportive, enriching environment that balances academic reinforcement with creativity and independence. Our school-age program builds on what children are learning in school while giving them space to unwind, explore interests, and grow in confidence.

Through the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum, school-age children benefit from:

• Homework support and academic reinforcement aligned with school-day learning

• Critical-thinking and problem-solving activities through hands-on projects and group challenges
