About Brighton Learning Center in Kansas City
Purposeful. Innovative. Individualized.
We are an early education based childcare center in Kansas City. We care for children from 6-week to 5-years-old, providing a range of age appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join Kindergarten.
Who We Are
Brighton Learning Center got its start in 2009 with the first location in Gladstone and expanded this this location in 2019. From the very beginning we decided to do things a bit differently by creating a unique space which fosters early learning in a fun, engaging, and safe environment.
Children can explore the world around them as our team of educators encourages them to thrive and grow into their full potential.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.
Our Mission
We are honored to provide a devoted childcare and quality early education service to the wonderful families in our community, and we are dedicated to delivering the following:
Devoted Childcare
Our teachers have been with us at Brighton Learning Center for years, some as long as four, eight, or even the entire twelve years we have been open at our initial location where most of our staff moved from! Our staff builds relationships with each child through daily one on one and small group time. Genuine bonds are developed between teacher and child that help develop warm and fuzzy feelings when their child is with us.
All of the teachers receive over the required number of training hours in various fields such as health, safety, nutrition, curriculum, and behavior management . Teachers are also all CPR and first aid certified as well as being well versed in what to do in emergencies.
For your family's safety and security, each teacher is fingerprinted and background checked and we include video surveillance in each room as an extra layer of precaution. We serve quality and healthy meals (breakfast, lunch, and snack) each day that is cooked with love, on-site.
Quality Early Education
We teach and assess using a theme-based and project-based curriculum with active lessons, sign language, Spanish, and more! Parents can see how and what their children are learning through the child created displays in our hallways, notifications throughout the day on the Child Pilot app, our active Facebook and instagram page, as well as annual parent/teacher conferences.
Our lesson plans are available through the interactive Child Pilot app that allows parents to not only view lessons, but receive pictures, and notifications on their child's care and education throughout the day, also with features that allow you to message the teachers directly.
Custom Service
Our team works with each family individually to make sure that area children receive the quality, affordable childcare, and education that we are known for. We encourage family involvement through many different family-focused events such as the grandparents' day lunch, field day, our annual family BBQ, bike day, literacy night, parents nights out and so many more activities.
We also visit many Kansas City attractions, such as the Kansas City Zoo, Kaleidoscope, Science City, pumpkin patches, monthly library visits and more, through field trips that extend our students' learning experiences.
