Our story

From family home to childcare center

Janine Sanders, the heart and soul behind Bright from The Start, began her childcare journey decades ago. Inspired by her love for children, she moved from foster care visits and the DSHS Childcare Subsidy Program to a licensed Family Home childcare, and then to opening our first Childcare Center.

As we grow, we stay true to those roots: an inclusive community where every child is seen, heard, and valued.
