Science

​The Bright Start scientists are always questioning why! Science at Bright Start is the study of the world around us. The children learn through observation, experimentation, trial and error. Whether testing ideas in physics or engineering, the children enjoy all the hands-on activities! ​

Physical Education

Physical Education at Bright Start is made up of different games that focus on strategy and a ton of fun! We have the gym, the basketball court, the play structures and the whole Bishop school grounds to get active and learn!

Drama & Improv

Kids play lots of improv and theatre games that build their confidence and get them excited about acting. Bright Start puts on a holiday performance that is shared with families, a spring play for younger kids and an annual variety show!

Music

Music at Bright Start is about learning rhythm, about artists new and old and getting to grow creatively! We have even seen the emergence of a few Bright Start bands. With many musicians within the staff, kids often get the chance to play or hear some guitar or even ukulele. The annual variety show at the end of the year gives our young creative artists the chance to perform!

Nature Studies

At Bright Start we get to experience the wonderful environment right in our backyard! The Bishop field and playground areas are home to great nature exploration opportunities. We often see bald eagles and hawks fly over the school. Bright Starters are encouraged through different nature study activities to engage with, learn about and respect our outside environment.

Food + Cooking

Bright Start chefs learn about nutrition and what it takes to read recipes and make different foods. They learn about handling equipment and the importance of kitchen safety. Taking all allergies into account, young chefs get to try new things!

Meditation & Mindfulness

Mindfulness means paying full attention to something. It means slowing down to really notice what you're doing. After a full day of school, kids get the chance to learn new techniques on how to slow down and be more mindful.

Geography

Geography at Bright Start means diving into culture and countries around the world. Children get to become explorers and learn how to read a map. The world is at their fingertips and they can choose the place that they want to study next.
