Early learning and education franchise, Begin Bright opened its first-ever Victorian centre in the Melbourne suburb of Doncaster on 18 January.

Headed up by franchisee Kathy Louise Campbell, the new centre will deliver Begin Bright’s early learning program, which is based on a combination of the nation’s state primary school curriculums.

The centre will provide local pre-school aged children with the skills they need to take on primary school, as well as offer tutoring services to primary school children.

Pre-school children can take part in school readiness classes, which are one hour in length and cover letter sounds, handwriting and numbers.

For children already at school, after school tutoring is also an option, and the centre is already taking bookings for its school holiday program in April.

The opening marks Begin Bright’s 11th centre, with others currently situated across Queensland and New South Wales.
