Bright Start Child Care’s educational programs provide unlimited opportunities for the development of the whole child.

We have programs for each age level, including infants, explorers, toddlers, preschoolers, and junior kindergartners. Every activity is designed to support the development and well being of your child.
In the classroom and on the playground, age-appropriate concepts are integrated into all aspects of play. By providing children with activities that match their developmental needs and abilities, learning occurs easily and naturally.

The Bright Start Child Care Story
60+ years of experience
Founders of Bright Start Child Care, sisters Mary Anne Mendenhall, Sandra Craven, and Shirley Instasi, have over 60 years of combined experience in child care. All three founders are certified in Early Childhood Education/Child Development, and continue to participate in ongoing professional development programs to enhance their skills.
Mary Anne devoted her entire career to childhood development, first as a teacher in the Boston Public School system and later as both an in-home and center-based provider.
Sandra has dedicated more than 20 years to the enrichment of children in a child care setting. Teaching in both in-home and center environments, her primary focus is on nurturing infants in a loving and creative setting.
Shirley brings with her a thorough understanding of business management coupled with her child care experience. A Foxborough native, Shirley attended nursery school in the very building Bright Start occupies.
The three women who own Bright Start also worked as teachers in the center, and he faculty continues to adhere to the highest standards in child care.
The curriculum is well thought out and the activities are creative and fun for the kids. Most importantly though...smiles, hugs and words of encouragement are always available. This attribute makes it a pleasant experience for both the children and parents, especially on those tough Monday mornings!
