Quality Child Care, Academic Adventures

Brighton Day Academy provides quality child care and preschool academics in a convenient location on State Road 16. Our child care program provides the highest quality of academics, focusing on enhancing the young minds of our children, not just by teaching them to learn, but by empowering them with skills to learn. We recognize that every child is different, with unique gifts and skills and encourage every child to recognize their strengths and learn new things every day. Our program ensures that your infant through school-age child will get the best care and learning experience possible.

School Readiness

At Brighton Day Academy, school readiness begins early. In our infant room, teachers engage the babies with reading, singing and other activities. Our toddlers and preschool children are prepared for their eventual move to the VPK classroom where there is more structured learning. Our VPK students have consistently scored 100% on school-readiness tests. When they leave our program, they are more than ready for the academic rigors of kindergarten and beyond.

Some Comments from Parents

Kristina Showers - December 18, 2017 After being that mom that swore she would never put her kids in daycare, life happened. My youngest started at Brighton day in November and I couldn't be more thankful for them. They have the most kind hearted, loving, giving staff. I was in a horrible car accident and they instantly made sure my family and my sweet little boy were comforted. I've never met such a wonderful group of people to make me feel like family. Love them !! Thank you !!

I love Brighton Day, my son Jarrell has learned so much and it hasn't even been a year since he started attending. His teacher Ms.Berly and Ms. Donna are the best. I wouldn't switch Daycares for anything. Ms. Tracy is awesome also any question or request I have she is always there to assist or answer.

She has not only been understanding, but gracious in many ways, especially over this past year with changes in my household . Thank you again everyone here at Brighton Day, Mrs. Gina, Mrs. Donna and Mrs. Stephanie. I know i have had shared with you guys many times, but the time you guys put in into teaching not just my child but many others is very much appreciated. You spend more time with our children then we do so we can provide and I cant thank you guys enough.

In the last two years of having my children at Brighton Day, I have had nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Ms.Gena and Ms.Kesha have formed a bond with my son and I feel blessed to have them as his teachers. Ms.Teresa and Ms.Sharon were fantastic with my older son, teaching him the basics in VPK and frequently sending home completed projects and worksheets, thanks to them he built the foundation to learn in kindergarten. Ms.Tracy at the front desk is very helpful, understanding and friendly. I am thankful for the familiar faces that bring us comfort throughout the day.

Our son has been going to Mr. Dons daycares since he was 6 months old. Mr Don and Mrs Tracy are incredibly understanding. All the teachers are really awesome. Our son has been flourishing so much since he has been there. He loves his class and he loves his teachers Ms Kristen and Ms Nicole. Thank you all for all the dedication and hard work!! Keep it up

Placing our daughter in Brighton Day Academy is one of the best decisions we ever made. The staff is amazing, and our daughter loves all of them. It is reassuring seeing the smile on our daughters face when she sees her teacher in the morning. Brighton Day has worked with us, and been completely understanding with all issues. We could not be happier with the customer service, and amazing quality care of our daughter!

Brighton Day Academy is awesome. They are so consistent and responsive. I have two boys that attend there and they both enjoy going there, they are excited after I pick them up each day to tell me all the things that they have learned, or activities they did. I love the staff they are very informing on a daily basis. I have always been cautious about putting my kids in day care but I went the right route with choosing Brighton Day.

Thank you to all the teachers at Brighton Day Academy. Ava loves each and everyone of you guys. Thank you for taking the opportunity to work with my daughter to teach her how to share and play with other kids her age. She love the music time you guys have. She has learned a lot being at Brighton Daycare. Without your guidance she wouldn't be the little lady is. Special thank you too her teacher Ms. Jasman and the Center director Mrs.Tracy Roberts. Thank you for taking the time out with my daughter Ava.

Stephanie J.
I have two daughters who attend Brighton Day and they both LOVE getting up every morning to go to school. They know each teacher by name and each teacher knows them. My two year old is a very shy and to herself kind of person and she runs into school every morning ready for breakfast and story time with her "Niq." (Yes, HER Niq) I would recommend this day care to any parent. I don't have any doubts about the safety of my children while they are there.

Mr. Don runs several daycare facilities in St. Augustine. He loves children and this is evident when you see him working around his daycares. He is a caring man that helps families in many ways. Each of his daycares have their own personality and experienced workers.

Thank you to all the teachers at Brighton Day Academy. Branden loves each and every one of you. Without your guidance he wouldn't be the little man that he is today. Graduation was awesome today. Thank you for working hard with our children to make it a wonderful experience. Y'all ROCK!

Saturday morning was a Special Day watching my (little Pumpkin) Seth Graduate from VPK. His class was so adorable. Thank you to Ms. Peggy & Ms. Sam & Mr. Don for the Great Job they did yesterday as well as the past year !!!! Yesterday bought back memories of when my 2 Daughters Megan & Brittany both Graduated from Brandt's many years ago, where Ms. Angie & Mr. Don did a great job with their Graduation. Thank you Mr. Don & your staff for watching over my babies through the years!

Programs & Curriculum at Brighton Day Academy

Infants

Our children begin as young as 6 weeks of age, and are nurtured in a warm and safe environment: soothing music, soft bedding and play areas, and loving hands meeting every need. They are fed, and cleaned, and cuddled to their hearts delight. They begin their learning, too. Lots of books are read to them, and songs are sung by the scores. They begin learning about sharing, and taking turns. By the time they are one-years-old, they are ready to join the ranks of the exciting world of the toddler room.

VPK & Pre-Kindergarten

By the time our students reach our VPK/ PreK class, they are ready for the most exciting adventure they will ever know: the world of learning to read. Each child learns the letters and their sounds, slowly finding these treasures in their own worlds. With the loving hand of their teachers, the knowledge is imparted through playtime and art, and music, and dance. All the while, with the warm nurturing of their teachers, they also learn about how to be friends, and develop the morals and integrity they will carry with them as they enter the world of elementary education. By graduation day, they proudly walk down the aisle in their caps and gowns and receive not only a giant hug from their teachers, but also a diploma saying they are ready for Kindergarten.

Toddler & Preschool

The one-year-old classroom is a whirl-wind of excitement, filled with fun and new friends with whom to toddle. Perfecting the art of walking, then running is the first talent our children attain. Learning how to eat with utensils, and drink from a cup is only the beginning. They begin to discover the joy of learning through circle time, and the continued journey of books, and stories. Sharing and taking turns is only a first step of what they will learn as a friend, and there is so much to discover on their own in the playtime centers.

By the time our little ones are two, they have mastered the art of walking, and are ready to find their voice. Circle time takes on a whole new dimension: student participation. Hands on learning, and child input makes the learning experience even more excitingl. They are immersed in colors and shapes. Not only do they get better at sharing, but they begin to learn about caring. Two is terrific!

Our three-year-old class soars with energy and wonder. What used to be the Pre-K curriculum is now the three year old's stronghold. Developing the skills they will use to read and write is only the beginning of the learning to come. Each child is enveloped with the building blocks to reading and writing. They also begin to learn how to have empathy, and how to be a friend. Social skills are being defined. And everything is learned through play.
