Bright Beginnings

Where eaglets learn to SOAR!

The most important part of learning outside of the classroom is the role of the parent(s). Even from a child's first experience as they enter into the world, the parent is the child's first teacher. The Clover School District is proud to offer the Bright Beginnings program to families with children ages birth to 60 months and living within our school district. Bright Beginnings is a free and voluntary program which provides support and assistance to all parents of young children. It is our goal to help you give your child the best possible start and be ready for school.

Babies are born to learn! And you are already your child’s first and most important teacher. It is our goal to help you give your child the best possible start in life.

CSD implements the Parents as Teachers (PAT) curriculum, which is an early childhood parent education, family support, well-being, and school readiness personalized visiting model. 

The PAT model is based on the premise that "all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential."
