Our Classrooms

Here, ripples start off small... but spread Far and wide!

Where Every Child’s Journey Begins

We believe children deserve beautiful classroom environments with a low student-to-educator ratio, experienced professionals, and engaging experiences that foster discovery and curiosity. Conveniently located in Central and Northeast San Antonio, Brighton Preschool is the best place for your child. We’ve been helping families thrive since 1969.

What Makes Brighton Classrooms Different:

  • Therapeutic expertise is integrated daily – our educators and therapists work together
  • True inclusion in action – children with and without disabilities learn together
  • Small class sizes – more individual attention for every child
  • Play-based, developmentally appropriate – learning that meets each child where they are


Campus Locations:
Both our Najim and Monte Vista campuses offer infant, transition, preschool, and kindergarten-ready classrooms.

Infant Classroom – 6 Weeks – 18 Months Old

Our responsive caregivers focus on building strong relationships, fostering early communication, and supporting each child’s natural curiosity through sensory-rich experiences. Using a play-based, individualized approach, we promote early development in a setting that values inclusion, routine, and connection. 

Toddler Classroom – 18 Months – 2 ½ Years Old

Our Toddler classrooms nurture curiosity, independence, and social-emotional growth in a supportive, inclusive environment. Through hands-on exploration and play-based learning, our educators guide toddlers as they develop language, problem-solving skills, and emerging self-help abilities. With a focus on routines, relationships, and individualized support, we create a foundation for lifelong learning while encouraging confidence and collaboration.

Transition Classroom – 2 – 3 Years Old

Our Transition Classroom is specifically designed for children transitioning from the toddler stage to full-time preschoolers. Children in our transition class are full of energy and eager to learn about new things. Our educators provide numerous opportunities for both physical activities and learning in a safe and nurturing environment, while collaborating closely with Brighton’s in-house therapy team to ensure all children are on track with their developmental progress.

Preschool Classroom – 3 – 4 Years Old

Our Preschool classrooms provide a dynamic, play-based learning environment where children build confidence, independence, and essential school readiness skills. Through hands-on exploration, creative expression, and purposeful play, our educators foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and social-emotional growth. With an emphasis on inclusion, collaboration, and individualized support, we create engaging experiences that nurture curiosity and prepare children for lifelong learning.

Kinder Ready Classroom – 4 – 5 Years Old

Our Kinder Ready classrooms are designed to inspire a love for learning while preparing children for a successful transition to kindergarten. Through play-based, developmentally appropriate experiences, we foster independence, problem-solving, and early academic skills in a supportive, inclusive environment. Our educators emphasize social-emotional growth, critical thinking, and collaboration, ensuring each child gains the confidence and foundation needed for their next educational journey.

Real Experiences from Brighton Families

"Our son has been at the Najim location for a little over a year now, and it's been great. The previous daycare never challenged him the way Brighton does. They have a great curriculum and have helped him with speech tremendously. The staff is great, very friendly, and helpful. They answer any questions you may have, and they really keep you informed about your child and his or her progress."
- Timothy Simmons, Brighton Parent
"My son has attended the Najim campus starting at 6 months, and he is now 18 months old. For the past year, he has received wonderful care at Brighton Center, and I am so happy that we chose this school. My son has learned several signs to communicate his needs (he can sign for 'more, all done, please, and blow kisses), all of which he learned at school. We love the inclusive atmosphere at Brighton and believe that our son is loved and appreciated for who he is each day."
- John DeKing, Brighton Parent
