Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center located in downtown Glenpool specializes in preparing children under the age of 6 for success in elementary school and beyond. Opened in 2011, Bright Beginnings focuses on teaching children not only a secular education, but character, self-esteem, and a solid foundation in Christ. Through participation in the Department of Human Services subsidy program they strive to offer quality services to children that otherwise would not have the opportunity. In a little more than a year, Bright Beginnings has achieved a 2 star rating through the Oklahoma DHS. Currently Bright Beginnings is in the process of obtaining national accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to achieve a 3 star rating.
