How Do I Enroll My Child at Brighton?

Brighton is committed to a child-centered enrollment process that prioritizes understanding each child’s abilities and needs, ensuring they are placed in the optimal classroom environment for success. Here’s what you can expect during your enrollment journey with us: 

1. Tour Our Campus

Families interested in enrolling are encouraged to tour our center with their child. This allows our directors to connect with you, understand your preferences, and address any questions or concerns you may have.

2. Developmental Screening

Before or during the tour, families complete the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), a developmental screening tool that helps inform our classroom placement decisions.

3. Registration

Register for the next available enrollment with a $150 deposit. If there is no immediate availability, the deposit is held until a spot becomes available. 

4. 3-Day Slow Enrollment

Once availability arises, a 3-day slow enrollment is required. During this period, we will further assess your child’s needs to ensure the classroom is the best fit.

5. Enrollment Finalized

After the slow enrollment, placement is completed, taking into account the optimal fit for your child. Our team meets to discuss next steps, supports, and services to facilitate a smooth transition.

6. Ongoing Support

We understand that transitions can be challenging. Over the initial 4-week enrollment period, we closely monitor your child’s progress, providing necessary support and adjustments to ensure their success.

 

7. Assessment and Support Throughout

Our team continuously assesses each child’s unique abilities and needs during this entire process. If we encounter any challenges, we provide additional resources or referrals to community providers who may offer support.

In Their Words

“My son started at Brighton Center (Najim) going on three years ago. During his time with Brighton, he has been able to improve and develop in ways I did not expect. The staff is not only invested in his progress, but also explores all options when met with a challenge. I have always appreciated the open lines of communication and that there is a constant team effort surrounding my son’s development.”
-Aricel A., Brighton Parent
“My wife, Chelsea, and I are truly grateful for all the teachers and staff at Brighton Center! Nick and Eve’s teacher does an amazing job every day; we love the fun learning activities they do and the great care they give them. We are very happy to have our children there at Brighton!”
-Thomas F., Brighton Parent
