Where We Nurture Growth From 6 Weeks To 6 Years
At Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Program (BBECP), we believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and enriching learning environment. Our licensed early childhood education programs support children from 6 weeks to 6 years. The BBECP program is carefully designed for each stage of child development, from infant care and toddler learning to preschool and kindergarten readiness. Led by experienced and compassionate teachers, our curriculum is tailored to meet each child’s unique needs, fostering both academic achievement and social-emotional growth. Through fun, engaging activities and a developmentally appropriate approach, we help children reach important cognitive, emotional, and physical milestones in a supportive setting that encourages curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Dedicated to providing the best family day care
Our Story
Founded in 2009 by Ridhita Gupta, Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Program (BBECP) began as a family daycare in Stamford, Connecticut. When Ridhita and her family struggled to find childcare services that met their expectations for safety, quality education, and nurturing care, they were inspired to create a better option, not just for their own children, but for other families seeking the same caliber of care.
What started as a small family daycare licensed for six children has since grown into a trusted early childhood education provider with four locations across Stamford, Fairfield, Norwalk, and Westport. At BBECP, we offer infant care, toddler learning programs, and preschool curriculum designed to support the academic, social, and emotional development of children from 6 weeks to 6 years.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves access to high-quality, compassionate care in a safe, engaging environment. Each family should feel confident in the care their child receives.
