Our Story
Bright Lights - a place to shine
As a pediatric Occupational Therapist, Bright Light's Director, Rivka Leah, was always passionate about nurturing children to discover their best. In 2023 a preschool space near Denver's popular City Park became available, offering the perfect canvas of opportunity to channel that passion further and bring the vision of Bright Lights to life:
A vision of a space that would encourage each child to:
-
Learn at their own pace
-
Discover confidence in their abilities
-
Explore their passion for learning
-
Pursue learning in an engaging way
-
Explore Jewish values and learning with Joy
And So Bright Lights was born…
Our Philosophy
Little innovators with big dreams.
Our philosophy is that every child is a bright light. When nurtured properly, these bright lights make the world a brighter place.
We believe that a child's curiosity, when encouraged and inspired, leads them on a path of discovery and learning. By exposing children to different environments and experiences—we allow them to gain an understanding of themselves and the world around them.
While we facilitate skill-development with a hands-on emergent curriculum, we prioritize supportive each child to be an active participant in our classroom family. We believe that this is best achieved by supporting prosocial skills, communication and values-based learning inspired by Jewish ethos.
We invite you to step into Bright Lights, an inclusive space for your child to innovate. play. explore.
