Bright Tomorrows Child Care Center

Parent Testimonials

“When I am treating patients I give them 100% of my head and 100% of my heart. As a mother, this is only possible when you know your children are close by and well cared for. Bright Tomorrows is the rare and exceptional mix of the intimacy found in small family-run daycares and the professionalism and high standards of a world class organization. It is one of the gems that makes working for Hunterdon Healthcare special.”

Kathy F.

“Bright Tomorrows is a safe environment where my son can play and learn. My mind is worry-free while he is there thanks to all of the dedicated, caring staff. While he’s there, his smiling face says it all!”

Kristen B.

“Bright Tomorrows is part of our extended family because of the wonderful teachers. As parents, we are desperate to know that our children’s caregivers are attentive, loving, and careful. And when your child cannot speak for themselves, even more so. But at Bright Tomorrows, my one-year old runs into Ms. Mary’s arms to say hello and greets her with a hug. And my once very shy daughter has learned confidence and fun around new things after being part of the Bright Tomorrows family for 2 years. I feel incredibly grateful to Bright Tomorrows. When I go to work I not only know my children are safe, I also have confidence they are loved and thriving.”

About Us

Bright Tomorrows has been caring for children since 1992. While schools and child care centers closed in response to the COVID-19 lockdown, Bright Tomorrows remained open to care for children of essential personnel and quickly adapted to health recommendations from the Department of Children and Families – Office of Licensing and Hunterdon Medical Center to keep children, staff, parents and visitors as safe as possible. Safety has always been a part of Bright Tomorrows’ efforts to build a foundation of love and learning in all children we serve.

What We Provide

Bright Tomorrows provides…

A developmentally appropriate curriculum
Daily nutritious lunch and snacks
Collaboration with the Flemington-Raritan School District in STEM Learning
Pampers diapers and wipes for infants and toddlers, and potty training for toddlers when appropriate (we will provide diapers until they master this skill)
Special programs

The primary goal of Bright Tomorrows is to build a foundation of love and learning. We do this by focusing first on a child’s emotional development. Once these needs are met, the child can then develop their cognitive, social and physical skills at their natural pace. We do this by taking a positive, proactive approach to all activities. This approach models positive behavior and language and offers safer alternatives to challenges that need redirection. We strive to provide children with opportunities to make choices that keep everyone safe so they can learn to function independently while practicing social skills. Children learn to respect the needs of others, adapt to routines and simple rules, and ultimately, become responsible group members.

Our Curriculum

Our staff is dedicated to helping children grow and develop to their full potential according to their own special interests, learning styles and personalities. We believe that each child is unique and therefore, we encourage each child to develop at his/her own rate. And, since 2018, Bright Tomorrows has been in partnership with the Flemington-Raritan School District to encourage Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning.

Bright Tomorrow's tuition also provides special programming for children ages 1-5. These programs are evaluated each year for inclusion and range from special movement activities to hands-on interaction with animal babies. These activities are included in the classroom monthly calendar.

Brightwheel - Parent Communication App

Receive Constant Updates

Our center utilizes the Brightwheel app so that you can always feel connected to your children. Your child's teacher will use the app to post information such as naps, meals, diaper changes, activities along with pictures to help long days apart from your child seem a bit shorter.

Have a Direct Line to Your Child's Teachers

Brightwheel has a direct message feature so that you can send messages to your child's teachers and they will send you messages as well. Teachers will send messages with class reminders, weekly updates, etc. and the Director will use this feature to send center-wide announcements, newsletters and updates. You can even send private "Admin Only" messages for the Director's eyes only.

Check-In and Check-Out

Brightwheel allows the center to maintain accurate attendance records by allowing parents to check in upon arrival and check out at departure. Just scan the QR code or use our convenient check-in/out kiosk and you're set!

Brightwheel Billing

Brightwheel even has a billing feature and you will receive your weekly statements via the app. You can pay directly through the app via ACH or with your credit/debit card, and you can even set up Autopay so that you never have to worry about forgetting to submit your tuition payment!

Hot Shots for Tots

The NJ Department of Health has awarded Bright Tomorrows with its fourth consecutive Gold Medal Certificate for the Hot Shots for Tots Immunization Campaign. This program encourages childcare and preschool facilities to promote best practices and improve immunization coverage among children by using staff as models and facilitators. This is Bright Tomorrows' fourth consecutive Gold Medal recognition in four years of participation. Bright Tomorrows is the only Gold Awardee recognized for this distinction in Flemington.

Safety & Security

The security of children and staff at Bright Tomorrows is one of our top priorities. The emergence of COVID-19 has added to our mission to keep everyone safe and secure. Bright Tomorrows uses photo ID cards and a “card reader” system in place within the Hunterdon Medical Center campus and monitored by HMC’s Safety & Security Department. Staff uses this system in Bright Tomorrows at the front entrance and at each classroom door. Security is also provided by cameras in place at critical locations around the center. These camera views are also monitored by the Safety and Security staff in Hunterdon Medical Center.
