Bright Beginnings (Pre-K - Grade 2)
-
Deer Valley’s Bright Beginnings program provides hands-on learning opportunities for our early childhood learners in grades Pre-K, K-2.
Deer Valley's Gifted Pre-K Academy at Las Brisas provides an enriched academic foundation for gifted and talented learners. Gifted Pre-K Academy serves as a foundation for nurturing the development of our youngest scholars who require advanced learning opportunities. The Gifted Pre-K Academy environment is structured to provide a personalized approach to learning within socially appropriate contexts. Instruction is hands-on to promote discovery learning and FUN!
Bright Beginnings Kindergarten is available at Canyon Springs, Highland Lakes and Las Brisas. Qualifying students are placed in a Bright Beginnings Kindergarten classroom with children of similar abilities. Students participating in Bright Beginnings are taught by a gifted endorsed teacher. During their time in Bright Beginnings Kindergarten, students work and learn at a pace commensurate with their advanced abilities. Instruction is project and problem-based to support critical and creative thinking within an inquiry learning environment.
Las Brisas Gifted Academy offers Bright Beginnings throughout K-2 grades. The primary age experience within the Bright Beginnings classroom is enriched to ensure growth and development. Primary age students explore academic content above grade level. Students benefit from a thematic approach to learning, fostering depth and complexity across each of the core content areas. Students participating in Las Brisas' K-2 Bright Beginnings Program are placed in a cohort. This means they automatically progress to the next grade throughout their K-2 academic journey. At the end of 2nd grade, students will be re-assessed to determine future gifted programming options for third grade and above. The programming options may include Gifted Cluster, SAGE, Walk-Up Math or Renaissance placements.
