Grand Opening of Bright Beginnings Preschool Location in Pearl River, NY

Choosing a daycare facility for an infant or toddler can be a fraught decision. Above all, parents need to know that their child will be safe while out of the home. They want to know that their child will be engaged and nurtured so that they can develop the confidence and curiosity so crucial to their future learning and happiness. They want to know that their children will learn to engage with positive regard toward themselves, others, their school and learning. Parents need to know the people who share their children's lives will be open and accessible. 

In Rockland County, these standards have led many parents to choose Bright Beginnings, the New City family daycare founded by Jaime Naddeo, a mother of triplets, back in 2011. She then expanded Bright Beginnings in 2013 to meet demand, opening the next center in Pomona. Now, Bright Beginnings of Rockland is pleased to announce a third location in Pearl River.

“I’ve always known that I had a calling to educate children,” says Naddeo, who graduated from Long Island University in 2006 and is certified by  New York State in Childhood Education grades 1 - 6, and Literacy from birth through 6. “Our mission is to create a learning environment that is fun and exciting. We help children develop the social, emotional, and academic skills needed to thrive in school and everyday life.”

“Our philosophy at Bright Beginnings is that learning can be stimulated and encouraged but not forced,” says Naddeo. “Children should be encouraged to experience their stage of development and feel successful at learning without pressure.” Naddeo places play at the center of the Bright Beginnings experience because it is through play that children acquire knowledge while expressing what they know and imagine.

A New Location for Bright Beginnings

Naddeo is excited about opening the new location in Pearl River. “Our new location is a commercial preschool. It has five classrooms and will be for ages 3 and up. We’ll also be offering before- and after-school care with transportation provided for children enrolled in the Pearl River School District.”
