Bright Beginning Learning Center

Our Teachers

Peggy Lupton, Owner Educator

I graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1989 with a BS degree in education with a minor in reading. I have taught every age of learners from preschool through college. After spending multiple years specializing in special needs I decided to take a different direction and open up a preschool . For the last 10 years I have enjoyed spending my days with young learners watching them grow! I believe a well rounded hands on learning experience with provide a solid foundation for your child’s educational and emotional needs.

Philosophy

At our school, we strive to create a safe and caring community of young explorers inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Our program is a place where children can learn through doing, invent through making, and solve problems by working together. We believe that when children are truly engaged with their environment, magic happens. Our team of experienced and innovative teachers do this by creating a space driven by the interests and ideas of the children who inhabit it.

We also value real life experiences through field trips and community participation. Our children also learn through open play during outdoor and indoor recess.
