About Us

With 20 years of experience, Brightside Academy is a leading provider of early childhood education and child care. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, we employ over 1,200 people and serve over 7,000 children per day in our academies located in multiple cities across Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.

We believe that child care involves more than babysitting. Studies prove that 85 percent of brain development occurs before the age of five. Brightside Academy’s quality early childhood education program provides the appropriate experiences a child needs to connect brain synapses, which are at the root of learning and skill development. 

Children are born with the tools needed to learn and they are eager to learn. Brightside Academy helps lead children to their potential with state-of-the-art learning environments that enhance their experiences and prepare them for a lifetime of learning.
