BRENDER F. - OKLAHOMA - COURSE - ENCOURAGING FAMILY AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT - JUNE 22, 2024
The material was very straightforward, and really seemed to fit with my classroom experiences. I like having little bits to read and think on for each page. It was very helpful and well presented, not stiff or informal. It really gave me a lot of useful information that will hopefully help me and my classroom in the future. Thank you!!

JACQUELINE H. - MICHIGAN - COURSE - ART FOR ALL AGES - SEPTEMBER 7, 2024
I have received a high level of education (BA, MA and Ph.D.) in fields associated with ECE. I am working as a teacher in a preschool room, which I have done over the past 5 years. To be honest, most of the training I do to fulfill my CEUs end up being a review and don’t necessarily teach me anything or give me ideas. I loved this course and its simplicity. Despite being simple, I was made clear of some important distinctions between math, manipulatives and block learning areas and the course stimulated many great ideas for me to use in my class. Excellent job designing the course! Thanks!
CHRISTINE H. - WASHINGTON - COURSE - BLOCKS, MATH & MANIPULATIVES: BUILDING AND LEARNING - DECEMBER 31, 2024
Self-paced is my favorite way to take training courses. I am able to go at my own speed and fit it into my schedule easier. The material I learned is helpful and I will be using it at work. Every time I take a course from Bright Minds I always end with learning something that helps with my teaching to keep it fresh with new ideas.
MARLEA O. - MICHIGAN - COURSE - BACK TO BASICS: TEACHING COLORS, SHAPES, LETTERS AND NUMBERS - JANUARY 1, 2025

SHARLENCEIA K. - MISSOURI - COURSE - BACK TO BASICS: TEACHING COLORS, SHAPES, LETTERS AND NUMBERS - MAY 2, 2025
I love the way that the quizzes are used to reinforce the lesson content. I have so often encountered testing that is designed to “trick” and not teach. It feels like Bright Minds is really passionate about teaching to benefit the child and not to “Outsmart” the teacher! How truly refreshing.
SUSAN P. - KENTUCKY - COURSE - WHEN CHILDHOOD ANXIETY LEADS TO CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS - MAY 10, 2025

ELIZABETH P. - PENNSYLVANIA - COURSE - BACK TO BASICS: TEACHING OPPOSITES, POSITIONAL WORDS AND RHYMING - DECEMBER 17, 2023
It is MUCH easier to take classes from here than my state licensing department!

EMILY J. - WASHINGTON - COURSE - PREPARING PRESCHOOLERS FOR KINDERGARTEN - DECEMBER 29, 2023
I definitely like how it was set up. I like the option of just reading it yourself or listening to it yourself or both reading and listening at the same time. For someone who has a problem just reading, the listening and reading OPTION was very helpful. The information provided was excellent. I love the part at the end with the moms perspective. Very well done.

Bright Minds Training shares valuable information that teachers can incorporate into their daily lesson plan.

As someone new to early childcare and after school programs examples of situations and what to say in response to them is incredibly helpful. There were plenty of useful responses and resources in this course that I found wanting in other courses I’ve taken. I can’t wait to use some of the Procter like the tree of kindness!
