Why Choose Bright Buttons Pre-School for your Child?
At Bright Buttons we offer a unique opportunity for your child to experience an individual approach to learning. With such small classes we are able to look at each individual child; their needs and personality, and work with them accordingly.
If your child has emotional needs or needs extra help academically, we rally a team together, and with the teacher at the helm, we develop your child to his or her full potential. If your child needs extension, then we take your child to the level that they are capable of achieving, allowing them to go above and beyond the expected norms.
Above all, we have much love to give your child, and our staff team are passionate about what they do, and aim to provide a loving, warm environment with loads of fun.
