How they teach

Play-based and STEAM

“Our preschool implements the FrogStreet Curriculum in all classrooms, which is a well-established curriculum that utilizes play-based, child-driven activities to impart practical early literacy, math, science, and social studies skills.”In their words, July 2026.brightkidscdc.com

“They also incorporate a STEAM approach to the daily lessons to ensure children are excited and eager to learn!”In their words, July 2026.brightkidscdc.com

One of 104 Austin-area providers that describe a play-based approach, out of 226 that describe any approach at all.

Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, ratios and staff, sick and biting policies.
