What Makes Bright Haven a Great Place for Your Child?
At Bright Haven Children’s Learning Center, we believe every child deserves a place where they feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn.
That’s why families across Northwest Arkansas describe us as a “home away from home.” Our classrooms are filled with nurturing teachers who treat every child like family; celebrating milestones, offering comfort during challenges, and creating a space where curiosity and joy can flourish.
One thing parents tell us they appreciate most is our consistency. Many of our teachers have been with us for years, especially in our infant and toddler rooms, giving children the comfort of familiar faces and routines every day. This stability creates a strong foundation where little ones can grow confident in exploring their world, developing language skills, building friendships, and learning empathy from a young age.
Our recognition of being a Level 3 Better Beginnings program reflects our commitment to high standards in safety, education, and developmental care. Parents also love the sense of community here, with regular events and thoughtful touches that bring families and staff together. And for peace of mind, we even offer remote viewing so parents can check in on their child’s day, whether they’re at work or traveling.
Families who choose Bright Haven know it’s the beginning of a lifelong love of learning.
Testimonials
We absolutely love BH! We looked at other facilities closer to home, and were even more thankful for BH! The staff, the schedule and curriculum, the cameras, all positive aspects of why we keep our children there.
Brighthaven has been such a blessing to our family. Both our boys have benefited greatly being at this school. I can confidently leave them each day knowing they are loved, cared for and learning. I’m always impressed with what the boys do throughout the day. We can’t thank the school and staff enough.
We couldn’t be more grateful for our experience at Bright Haven! The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and nurturing. Since starting here, our daughter has truly blossomed—she’s become more confident, sociable, and curious. It’s amazing to see how much she learns each day, and we love seeing her excited about her teachers and friends!! It brings us so much peace knowing she’s in such a caring, supportive environment. Our son has just joined the Bright Haven family as well and placing him in the care of teachers. Our daughter has been with brings us additional peace, knowing he’s going to have the same care she did from such great teachers! We’re so thankful to be part of this wonderful community!
We have been very happy having our 16 month old at Bright Haven. The staff have been kind, empathetic, and patient during her transition to school. She has adjusted even better than we expected and we fully believe it is because of the gentleness and 1 to 1 attention the staff at Bright Haven have given her. She learns new things every day and comes home and surprises us with new words or new knowledge weekly, which is fun and reassuring to see.
We love the sense of peace we get when we leave our kids in the care of Bright Haven. The staff is kind and respectful and the facility is always clean, safe and secure.
My daughter loves coming to school at Brighthaven. Between the adventures she shares and the smile on her face as I peek into the class before pickup, it’s clear she’s making friends, learning loads, and generally having a blast.
