Montessori
“Such experience is not just play… it is work he must do in order to grow up.”
Maria Montessori
Why did we Choose the Montessori Method?
Philosophy
Bright Child Learning Center is a Montessori Preschool in Madison, WI that provides every child with care, an environment, and a curriculum that stimulates their creativity and natural desire to learn. We are dedicated to helping children develop and demonstrate a love of learning through the cultivation of a culture of respect: respect for themselves, their environment, and the entire world community of which they are members.
Our Vision
Is to inspire generations of children to become happy and empowered global citizens who nurture and respect themselves, society and the environment, creating a safer and more-fulfilled world. We truly believe in this vision and work passionately to achieve it each day with each child.
Our Purpose
Bright Child serves as a trusted partner for families by offering exceptional educational experiences for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. We foster independence, diversity, and resect by creating a safe, nurturing and visually pleasing learning environment, focused on engaging and imaginative child-led activities.
Our Mission
To deliver a unique and exceptional learning experience by offering a dynamic combination of:
- Child-led, hands-on, independent and interactive activities

Laying the Foundation for a Love of Learning
Our curriculum is based on the Montessori philosophy to encourage independence, respect, and self-reliance. We are a member of the American Montessori Society (AMS) and are also designing our program to exceed state licensing requirements, the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS), and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation requirements – which only 8% of all childcare centers have accomplished.
