Choosing the right early education environment is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child, and we are honored that you are considering us. At Right Start, we believe the early years are the foundation for a lifetime of success. Our carefully designed learning environments, dedicated educators, and research-based curriculum work together to create a place where children feel nurtured, inspired, and empowered to thrive.
We are proud to offer a program Where Little Learners Get The Right Start, a place where curiosity is encouraged, confidence is built, and a love for learning begins, in a community where every child is known, valued, and celebrated.
Our Mixed-Age Learning Model
Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support the individual growth of every child. Our mixed-age model creates a purposeful environment where younger children are inspired by their older peers, while older students develop confidence, independence, and early leadership skills, encouraging meaningful relationships, supporting developmental milestones, and fostering a strong sense of community.
Our 2s & 3s
Foundation + Nurturing + Independence
Through creative, teacher-guided activities and hands-on learning, children develop language, early problem-solving skills, and the confidence to work independently and in groups. Students are introduced to letter recognition, early phonics, numbers, shapes, colors, and name recognition.
Daily routines provide the consistency young children need while nurturing growing independence, so each child transitions into the older classroom with confidence and readiness for more advanced instruction.
Our 4s & 5s
Kindergarten Readiness + Academic Depth
Instruction centers on visual modeling, small-group learning, and hands-on application. A more advanced, structured curriculum introduces early reading, writing, mathematics, science exploration, and continued social-emotional development.
Students think critically, follow multi-step directions, complete independent work, and collaborate with peers, preparing them for the academics, organizational skills, and self-confidence needed for long-term school success.
