A hands-on celebration of African culture, art, literature and dance for children and their families
Bright Horizons at Naperville is a new early education and preschool center, opening in early 2015, and will present Celebrate Africa from 10AM to 2PM on Saturday, Feb. 7 at their soon-to-open Naperville location, 550 East Diehl Rd.
The event will begin with a live dance performance from The C.A.K.E Village for Culture & Arts, followed by African stories with storyteller Kimberly Gotches. Throughout the Celebrate Africa event, children’s activities based on the history of Africa and refreshments (including African finger foods) will be offered to attendees.
Center Director, Jo Ann Bourgeois, believes that an event like Celebrate Africa, brings the Bright Horizons World at their Fingertips curriculum, to life.
“All of our programs at Bright Horizons are geared to have the language, math, science and social skills children need for elementary school,” said Bourgeois “We’ve found that graduates from our centers do have greater success in kindergarten and beyond, and we’re truly thrilled to be a part of a children’s first stage of learning here at the center.”
