Bright Prospects Cooperative Preschool

Toady is Give to the Max Day – Minnesota’s state-wide day of giving back to support nonprofits. Did you know that we are a non-profit? Last year, our community raised enough to offer our teachers retirement benefits — something most preschools can’t provide! Bright Prospects is proud to lead the way in supporting fair compensation and meaningful benefits for early educators.

This year’s donations will help fund a bookkeeper, employee maternity leave, and classroom air conditioning — in addition to covering daily operating costs.

November 21st is Give to the Max Day – Minnesota’s state-wide day of giving back to support nonprofits.

Bright Prospects is making a tremendous difference in Minnesotan family's lives, in large part because of the preschool’s amazing teachers.
Beyond helping to cover daily operating costs, donations this year will fund teachers’ retirement accounts, facilitating a 3% SIMPLE IRA match. While most preschools do not offer their teachers retirement benefits, Bright Prospects is committed to doing right by its teachers, providing this and other quality benefits.

Last year marked Bright Prospects’ 75th anniversary, and we want to see the preschool remain strong and lead the way on fair compensation for preschool educators for years to come. Thank you for your support!!

Today was the exciting end of our week-long bus camp! All week long, BPCP families have been taking the bus to different playgrounds in our community, but today we got to tour a bus garage! Students got the chance to learn about a bus driver's day as well as how the busses are maintained, and even got to go through the bus wash. Thank you so much to Metro Transit and our hard-working parents who put this experience together!

BPCP students have spent the past few weeks exploring the ocean! Through arts and crafts, songs, and books, the kids have learned about a new sea creature every day. Our amazing teachers also came up with a fun game that taught students about directions on a ship! We hope that everyone has a safe and fantastic spring break!
