Program Options

BrightPath was founded in 2011 as an “other half of the day” enrichment program for half day kindergarteners. In recent years we’ve seen a real need to offer our unique philosophy of nature-and-play-focused experiential learning at the preschool and after-care levels as well.  We now offer program options for preschoolers ages 3 and up; kindergarteners; and K-5 for after school care.

At BrightPath, children play outside, grow their ‘inner artist’ and learn from their own experiences – social, individual and academic. Each day, we share with them a love of nature, art, the environment, and the world around us. Students are encouraged to apply their own creativity, thoughts, and interests to their experiences with nature, and our talented teachers use these as learning opportunities.

While BrightPath’s core programming  includes a comprehensive look at all of Ohio’s Early Childhood Education Standards, we also spend time on the ‘extras’ like art, science, world cultures and exploring the natural world. Small class sizes allow our teachers to meet the unique needs of individual students while providing a warm, safe setting where critical social skills can be honed and imaginations can soar.

If space is available, we maintain an open enrollment all year long. Our more formal enrollment period starts in January each year for the following fall school year. Keep in mind, our early childhood program is small and slots fill up quickly, so we encourage you to attend our Open Houses or contact us to learn more!

We have established a flexible enrollment model in an attempt to meet the needs of busy families and growing children. Program options are detailed in the preschool and kindergarten sections. Please don’t hesitate to contact our Enrollment Coordinator, Megan Teismann, to discuss your specific needs, schedules, etc.  Megan can be reached by phone at 614-839-0780 or by email at enroll@BrightPathActiveLearning.com.
