🌟 We’re Going Back to Our Roots — and Growing Forward! 🌟

We’re excited to announce that Explora Academy is now officially Bright Beginnings Children and Family Services — a return to the name where it all began, and a bold step forward in our mission.

We’re going back to our roots — but with a renewed purpose. Now operating as a nonprofit organization, we are committed to making affordable child care and comprehensive family support services accessible to our community.

What’s new?
Alongside our trusted child care programs, we now offer:

✨ Bilingual family & parenting support (English & Spanish)
✨ Family coaching & monthly workshops
✨ After-school care
✨ Community resource connections

Our focus is on helping families thrive — not just survive. Whether you’re a working parent needing affordable care or a family seeking support and connection, Bright Beginnings is here for you.

Thank you for growing with us. We’re honored to continue this journey — now as a nonprofit built by and for the families we serve.

Hello everyone!
A good friend of mine opened her very own bilingual child care program in Daybreak (by Biscotts Bakery & Cafe). I gave her my curriculum, schedule and everything else she needed to start up her own business. I currently have 200+ people on a wait list to join Bright Beginnings and don’t expect to have any openings until 2022 so if you are wait listed… you may want to give “My Happy Day” a look because they have immediate openings 😊💖
