A Bright Beginning is operated by a non-profit society that is dedicated to proving quality care. The Centre is now located in the Avondale School on 108 Ave on the west side. The program provides care to children 12 months to 5 years for Early years and ages 5-12 years in the ABC out of school program. The educators set up responsive environments encouraging children to participate at their own pace, following their own natural sense of curiosity and discovery. Weekly plans are based on the children's interests and developmental levels from observations of the educators. Planning sheets are posted on the bulletin board outside the classrooms. Please familiarize yourself with the events. Our cook provides 2 snacks and a nutritional lunch. A menu is posted in the hallway by the open window of the kitchen. We are committed to give your child (and family) a happy supportive, and nurturing environment that promotes learning. The Board members of the Society welcome all newcomers. All parents with children in the Centre are encouraged to be involved. Members of the public with interest are also welcome. Like us on Facebook and view current happenings at the Centre.

In spring of 2018, A Bright Beginning Child Care Centre was awarded the ELCC Government Grant pilot project for three years. This grant provided affordable daycare spaces ($25 per day) for families and wage top ups for the educators. Six educators have participated in the Flight Framework; all educators have participated in the GRIT webinars, Community of Practice meetings with our Pedagogical partner and Regional Learning meetings with other ELCC Centres which are currently ongoing. The grant provided the funds to reach our re- location goal; renovating and moving inside the Avondale School. This move occurred August 2019 giving the Centre additional 22 spaces and an out of school program named ABC. Educators are sharing Learning Stories about individual children, identifying facets and goals plus the dispositions of learning. The classrooms reflect the Flight Framework, creating spaces of vitality for the children in our care using natural loose part items. Additional classrooms gave the Centre opportunity to add additional quality educators to the team. Going into our final year of the pilot project, the focus will be with our families; sharing resources/knowledge the educators have gained and strengthening relationships.
