Tuition Information
We know that childcare costs can be expensive that is why we do our best to make the most affordable learning environment for your family while still providing a high-quality level of care. When tuition costs are still out of reach for your family, we assist you in locating and participating in subsidy programs to ease the cost burden and give your child an equal learning opportunity.

School Holidays
Bright Kids Child Development Center is open throughout the year from 7:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M.
Open Door Policy
Bright Kids Child Development Center maintains an open-door policy with all parents/guardians and authorized family members of enrolled children.
Parents/guardians are not only welcome to visit at any time during operation but are also highly encouraged to volunteer and visit their child’s classroom. We believe that home and school, working together, can form a solid base for each child as they prepare to meet life’s challenges. We encourage parents to be a part of this process by getting involved with school activities.
Safety and Security
We strictly limit access to our facility to authorized personnel, parents, and family members. After enrolling, you will request a virtual key through the Vizpin app, which we will grant it. This will allow us to see who is entering our building and at what time. We have cameras in all rooms, and the Director is constantly reviewing them since the main monitor is at the office. Your child’s safety is our top priority.
Communication and Transparency
At Bright Kids, we understand the importance of keeping you connected to your child’s daily experiences. We also utilize a software called Brightwheel which gives you the ability to receive instant updates and have access to daily reporting of your child’s day while in our care from the time they are checked in to the time they are checked out. We will communicate the important parts of your child’s day such as diapering, feeding, nap time, pictures, videos, and more through this app.
Daily Schedule
Bright Kids Child Development Center classrooms follow a daily schedule designed specifically to meet the children’s developmental, social, emotional, and personal needs.
All schedules are contingent on the needs of the children and may vary from day to day.
Inclement Weather Policy
Generally, Bright Kids will be closed or delayed for inclement weather when local school districts, especially LISD and the government, are closed or delayed. Still, our center has its own exclusive circumstances because we prefer to exercise flexibility in these situations instead of an inflexible policy.
In the event of school cancellation, Bright Kids will send an email, text, and message through the school’s app for communicating with parents.
