Our Founders

Martese and Dr. Bob combined their strengths, experiences and passions in late 2014 with the vision of creating a competitively priced early learning center that focuses on relationships, promotion of mental health and individualized care. After months of surveying the current childcare landscape and assessing the need in the community, Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center was born!
