Our goal is to create a positive and safe atmosphere for children with a “culture of kindness” making Bright Futures an excellent environment for children to learn.

1. We help children reach their full potential through teaching good character using the the Six Pillars of Character:

   • Trustworthiness; Be honest, don't deceive cheat or steal ~ Have the courage to do the right thing - Be reliable, do what you say you'll do.

   • Respect; Treat others with respect, follow the Golden Rule ~ Be tolerant of differences ~ Deal peacefully with anger and disagreements.

   • Responsibility; Do what you are supposed to do ~ Always do your best, keep on trying ~ Be accountable for your choices

   • Fairness; Play by the rules ~ Don't blame other carelessly ~ Listen to others ~ Don't take advantage of others

   • Caring; Be kind, help people in need ~ Forgive others ~ Be compassionate and show you care, express gratitude.

• • Citizenship; Do your share ~ Protect the environment ~ Be a good neighbor ~ Stay informed.
