We nourish a child’s imagination and intellectual development and provide them with a head start when they enter the school system through an emergent style early learning curriculum that encompasses the ideologies of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, the Early Learning and Child Care Curriculum Framework for Alberta (FLIGHT), as well as social and emotional learning, including mindfulness practices.
Children need strategies for meeting and navigating intense emotions in the early years of childhood development. Mindfulness has been shown to not only help children with emotional regulation, but also to cultivate positive states of mind like gratitude, kindness, joy and compassion. All of our Early Childhood Educators receive training on teaching mindfulness to children. With Bright Days, your child will learn these strategies and techniques during this critical time in their development. Find out more about how mindfulness can help your child →

Bright Days offers this and many other benefits for early childhood development.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
