Bacolod Preschool – Bright Kids Preschool

Choosing a Bacolod Preschool

When people become parents, they seem to develop an antenna that draws them to things that are good for their children. Things become no longer for one’s self but for the sake of the little ones’ present and future needs.

And when it comes to education, we scour the city for the best school that not only will provide the best in academic training but will also provide a holistic learning experience for the kids. And since it is common knowledge that the first five years of a child are crucial for his or her development, it is important that we choose the right preschool that will provide a secure and fun learning environment while enhancing all the skills of the child. It is also a must that the teachers be able to give appropriate feedback on the skills, attitudes, and character traits to harness or correct at home.

Here in Bacolod City, we were so happy to find one such preschool for our daughter Dindin. And that is Bright Kids Preschool.

History of Bright Kids Preschool

Bright Kids Preschool started out as just a quaint little toy store located at Plaza Mart back in 2007. They supplied educational toys and learning resources to various preschools in Iloilo and Bacolod. They also organized and sponsored seminars to educate parents and teachers.

Eventually, they were swamped with requests from parents who wanted them to handle tutoring their kids. From an initial number of three students, the population soon grew to 30 that it became inevitable for them to evolve into something else. So on April of 2009, Bright Kids Preschool was born.

Mission and Vision of Bright Kids Preschool

Bright Kids Preschool aims to provide head-start programs for the Filipino-Chinese children of Bacolod as well as to produce and raise happy and well-rounded achievers.

In order to achieve their mission and vision, Bright Kids Preschool has an evolving curriculum that is designed specifically to cater to the capacity and learning styles of the children. That is the reason why they change their lesson plan every year, depending on the level of achievement and capacities of each batch.

They hold what they call the Literacy Week, which is conducted by parents. These include mother and child activities, sports activities with parents, home visits, and even birthday parties. Parent participation programs have also been intensified so that parents get to plan, execute, and join the activities of their kids. In our case, we explained what we did for a living and gave the output of our activity to the kids. We even brought a small sticker cutter to show them how vinyl stickers are made. 😀

Experiential learning is integrated through exposure to various sports, arts, and field trips. In this way, teachers get to discover where the kids’ potentials lie.
