Bright Futures Childcare Center
Quality and Accessible Childcare
YWCA offers safe and affordable childcare, serving children and families for over 40 years. We believe that parents should never have to choose between work and caring for their child. Families, regardless of income, should have access to systems of early care and education.
Quality, Affordable Childcare
We offer full and half day childcare, and afterschool care for children ages 6 weeks through 12 years old.
Bright Futures Childcare Center Empowered by YWCA offers a uniquely diverse childcare setting for families who live and work throughout the Lower Cape Fear. Experienced educators teach a child-centered curriculum, and children learn to celebrate differences from a young age.
Our experienced and compassionate teachers not only provide exceptional care, but they also prepare young children to succeed cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally.
