About Bright Sunrise Preschool

A Preschool Built on Love, Science, and Play

Bright Sunrise Preschool was founded by qualified professionals in Early Childhood Education who believe the first five years of life are the most critical window for child development.
Located in San Jose, CA, we serve children aged 18 months to 5 years. Our early childhood program combines two of the world’s most respected ECE frameworks — the Reggio Emilia Philosophy and the High Scope Approach — with a hands-on STEAM curriculum that makes learning through play the heart of every day.
At Bright Sunrise, every child is a capable, creative learner. Our teachers observe each child’s interests, adapt their approach, and build a structured learning environment where confidence and curiosity grow together.
We are a fully non-discriminatory, non-religious early education center — open to all families in the San Jose community.

Mission

To nurture the whole child — academically, emotionally, socially, and creatively — in a fun learning environment where play is purposeful and every child feels valued.

Vision

To be East San Jose's most trusted early childhood education center — where children build early learning skills for life and families find a true community partner.
