Modern Spaces for Timeless Childhood Magic

Welcome to Forest Lakes

Located just off Route 29 near the entrance of the Forest Lakes community—only minutes from Greene County—our Forest Lakes campus offers families easy access to a nurturing and engaging early learning environment.

Come visit us and see the magic in action!

Modern, Spacious Facilities


Fully renovated in 2017, our classrooms and shared spaces feature modern lighting, fresh flooring, cozy paint colors, and brand-new furniture. Every detail was chosen to create a space where children feel safe, welcome,
and ready to learn.

Growing to Meet Your Needs

We’re expanding! Our recent purchase of an adjacent property will allow us to open additional classrooms, install a covered outdoor shelter, and upgrade our play spaces—making room for even more growth and exploration.

The Pizza Garden:
Growing Something Delicious

One of our favorite features is our small organic pizza garden. Children help plant and tend tomatoes, herbs, and peppers—learning firsthand where food comes from while connecting with nature through hands-on experiences.

A Place to Grow, Create, and Discover

At Forest Lakes, we bring Bright Beginnings' mission to life with a joyful atmosphere, enriching curriculum, and strong community connections. Come visit and see how we grow together!

Playgrounds Tailored to All Ages

With two separate playgrounds, each designed for a specific age group, children at Forest Lakes have plenty of room to run, climb, and engage in safe, developmentally appropriate play every day.

    ——- The Roberts Family, Forest Lakes

  • "Bright Beginnings has been a great experience for our family. Our daughter started when she was 15 months and now she is 2 yrs old. As parents we are happy to say that she has flourished in many ways and she is happy there :) We couldn't be more thankful for that. She spends a lot of time outside playing, doing some fun activities and also having their meals/snacks. This is great and my daughter loves it. My family and I are grateful for this preschool and would definitely recommend it!"
