About Brightside Academy Early Care Education

Brightside Academy Early Care Education is a center-based early care and education program for the students and families of Philadelphia. Attending centers like Brightside Academy Early Care Education can benefit students who’re ready for a school-like environment, rich in activities, resources and opportunities to learn and grow, but don’t want to sacrifice on the close relationships with peers and staff that you’d expect from any child care provider. Students at Brightside Academy Early Care Education join a community of learners that will explore, play and grow together. Brightside Academy Early Care Education teaches a play-based curriculum that values self-directed, interactive, intuitive learning by and for children. Students at play-based schools get the opportunity to participate in theme-based, hands-on activities with staff that facilitate and direct the discovery process. Through these hands-on activities, students develop social, cognitive and emotional skills built through the cooperation process with their peers. A play-based approach also can spark a love of learning that will be foundational for students throughout their early years of formal school.
