quote

Have you ever wondered where children living in shelters go during the day? Where do they learn? Where do they play? Where do they go to feel safe?

Bright Beginnings understands the special needs of young children and families living in homeless environments and through safe, nurturing, developmentally appropriate care, supports children to reach important childhood milestones and parents to end their homelessness.

 

Congratulations to Dr. Betty Jo Gaines, Executive Director, for being named a 2007 Washingtonian of the year by Washingtonian Magazine.
