About Us
Bright Oak Preschool Academy is an upcoming preschool being built off of Maybank Highway on John's Island, SC.
We are a privately held, locally owned school that will serve students from infants (6wks) to Pre-K (5yrs).
Our school will embrace a child-centered, project-based curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and a work environment that fosters collaboration, inclusivity, creativity, and safety.
