The Arc Bright Beginnings Child Development Center

Located in Cranford, Bright Beginnings is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

For children of all abilities, we provide low teacher-to-student ratios, a bright friendly environment, caring and highly qualified staff, and flexible full and part-time options. Parents love Bright Beginnings! Read their testimonials.

Our infant & toddler classrooms use Creative Curriculum to guide their days and lesson plans while our Preschool & Pre-K follows Core Knowledge Sequence Curriculum. In all classrooms, we focus on children learning through exploration of their environment. Lesson plans are designed to promote learning and address each child's individual needs using a variety of activities such as indoor and outdoor play, music, dance, and development of communication skills.

All staff at Bright Beginnings have experience and training working with children with special needs including autism spectrum disorders, language/ communications delays, gross or fine-motor delays. Support services available include physical, speech, and occupational therapies, and behavioral services which if needed are integrated into personalized lesson plans.
