We believe in bringing the latest science-based practices in early years education to the forefront, making them accessible to everyone and adaptable to diverse contexts. By staying at the forefront of research, we ensure that our programmes remain cutting-edge and effective.
We advocate for equitable access to opportunities for all children, particularly in the early years. Recognising that the earlier we begin, the better the outcomes, we are dedicated to creating pathways that ensure every child has the chance to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.
We are committed to turning child-centred pedagogical practices into a tangible reality. By prioritising the holistic development of each child during the early years, we strive to create an educational environment that nurtures their unique strengths and abilities.
Bright Start Foundation's Mentorship Support Scheme is a cornerstone of our commitment to revolutionise early childhood education on a global scale. We recognise the transformative power of collaboration between researchers and practitioners, and our scheme aims to bring them together in a dynamic and mutually beneficial partnership.
Bright Start Foundation is committed to developing and designing early childhood programmes and projects which are evidence-based and, at the same time, contribute to evidence base building. Thus research, monitoring and impact evaluation are integral parts of programme and project development and implementation.
The Bright Start Foundation and Montessori Global Education are proudly partnering in the expansion of the Voices of Children Pedagogy project—empowering children across the world as agents of sustainable change through the creative arts.
The Bright Start Foundation Board states: “Our partnership with Montessori Global Education reflects a shared commitment to empowering children as creators, critical thinkers, change-makers, and global citizens. By building on Maria Montessori’s timeless principles and adapting them to today’s rapidly evolving world, the Voices of Children Pedagogy places children’s voices at the heart of learning and societal transformation. Co-created with educators, researchers, artists, and children, this visionary framework fosters inclusivity, creativity, and innovation, equipping young minds to navigate an unpredictable future with confidence and purpose.”
Karen Chetwynd, Chief Executive Officer of Montessori Global Education states: “We are delighted to be in strategic partnership with the Bright Start Foundation, as their expert partner on the application of Montessori in practice. Montessori Global Education works internationally, with the mission to make the power of a child-led education accessible to all. Through our joint action research and conferencing activities, we can ensure even more educators feel confident to develop the empowered, creative early learners we need to secure a sustainable future for all.”
