Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

What gorgeous weather we are having right now in The Woodlands, TX!  The past two days, we have been able to take very excited children to visit a local pumpkin patch in our area.  Both our Prekindergarten class, and our PreK 4 classes were able to walk around the patch, decorate their very own pumpkins to bring home, make pumpkin face cookies, hear about Fall stories by our storyteller, and eat an outdoor picnic.  All of this in temperatures of around 72 degrees!  Perfect Fall air for a great Fall day celebrating this time of year.

Please Pardon Our Dust!

Brighton Parents,

Please excuse our dust!  As you can tell, we’ve taken to a bit of change over the last week.  Walls are freshly painted and some décor and furniture may seem out of sorts.  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience but we cannot help but be excited!  As Brighton continues to grow in popularity as one of the premier pre-schools in the Woodlands Community, we are constantly striving to give our families the best facilities and environments possible for their children to learn in. 

The changes are only beginning! 

Plans are currently underway to install new flooring in all classrooms, add full color graphics and pictures to the walls, as well as a complete exterior makeover that will simply add to the warm, comfortable environment your accustomed to at Brighton.  Our renovation project is planned in stages to be completed in full by Octobers end.  Thank you in advance for your patience as we improve our center to provide the brightest teachers, the warmest environment and the best preschool experience in the area.  We truly believe that we have the best families in all of Houston right here at Brighton Academy. 

Here is one of our classrooms with the new flooring & paint!  Wall decor coming soon!

Good Luck to all of our graduates starting Kindergarten this morning!

Love getting sweet notes & pictures from former parents who are sending their children off to Kindergarten for the first time. Addy is on to her new adventure, and her mom writes, "Her Daddy and I sent her off on her way this morning for a continuation of her educational journey. She was super excited to get on the yellow school bus. I was the one with the tears! I know she will be just fine. You guys built stepping stones for her independence and excitement to learn.
I have attached a couple of pictures for you to share. Tell everyone hi for us and know that we miss Brighton. Addy talks about you often!"

Celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday

"Today, we’re celebrating the 110th birthday of Theodor Geisel—you may know him as Dr. Seuss. The prolific children’s book author was born on March 2, 1904, and his mark on kids’ literature was so indelible, the National Education Association created National Read Across America Day (which will be celebrated on March 3 this year) in honor of the day.

Dr. Seuss passed away in 1991 at age 87, but new generations of children still learn to read—and learn to flex their imaginations—with his unforgettable characters and rhymes to this day." Tomorrow, March 3rd, the children are invited to dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character in order to celebrate his great works, all while learning about this great author.  

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  The children had a great day today celebrating Valentine's with their friends.  Fun parties were had by all along with very creative crafts.  They all loved celebrating their friendships with one another!

Having Fun While Learning!

There have been many fun and educational activities happening at Brighton over the past few weeks. From Mozart's birthday, Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day & Lincoln's birthday (just to name a few). The children have been engaged in a variety of hands on learning activities, which not only makes their day enjoyable, but also conducive to learning. We are honored to have the opportunity to provide such care for your children!

Our students enjoyed learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. today by doing a great group project about his life and the difference he made!  Please make note on your calendars that we will be closed on Monday in Observance of MLK Day.
