About Bright Futures
“The early years of a child’s life are very important for later health and development.” CDC
Early learning promotes lifelong learning! That’s why Bright Futures Academy provides a setting and curriculum that facilitates a love of learning from a very young age. Through our years of experience in the childcare industry, we have learned that children learn best when they are provided with a setting that engages their curiosity and supports their individuality. From educational support, to engaging opportunities that develop and refine social skills and spiritual building blocks; we strive to provide the relationships, engagement and opportunities that help your child develop into the person they were meant to be.

Teacher and Staff Qualifications
Our staff members and teachers are such an integral part of the care and education that we provide at BFA. Each BFA teacher and staff member undergo two background checks, looking into possible criminal background or a history of child abuse or neglect. In addition, each of our staff members receives a minimum of 15 hours of continuing education training annually, pertaining to early childhood education and development, as well as CPR and First aid training, a State Orientation class, and Pediatric Head Trauma training class. But perhaps most importantly, our teachers have a heart for preparing, nurturing and educating each child in their care.
