A Play-Based Approach That Works

The Raising Bright Early Learners System is built on how young children actually learn—through play, exploration, and connection. This course shows you how to create meaningful learning experiences using everyday materials, while following a research-informed approach grounded in the Four Pillars of Learning curriculum.

Four Pillars Curriculum focusing on STEAM Learning 

This program integrates STEAM learning through play-based, hands-on experiences that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity. Children explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math in meaningful ways that support critical thinking and a lifelong love of learning.

Confidence, Clarity, and Practical Tools and Resources

This program empowers you with the knowledge, confidence, and access to practical tools and resources needed to create a high-quality, play-based learning program at home.

What People Are Saying

Discover how our program is transforming the way educators, caregivers, and parents approach early childhood education.

”
I can absolutely say that Susie Beghin’s Four Pillars of Learning program is by far and away the best we've seen. It's on a completely different level. My wife and I are both employed in higher education and STEM fields, and we were very impressed by a real curriculum that strives to teach kids valuable lessons that give them a head start and set them up for success in school.

Taking the Raising Bright Early Learners course gave me so much confidence as a parent. The activities were simple, fun, and easy to use at home, and I always felt supported by Susie. I’d recommend this program to any parent or caregiver who wants to support their child’s learning in a meaningful way.
