BrightLights: School Years
Welcome to BrightLights School Years; arts based classes for your school aged child that help busy families find convenient solutions for those early mornings and late afternoons!
BrightLights is a year round program that offers classes 5 days a week with convenient walking drop off and pick up from Qayqayt Elementary during the school year and summer camp programs in July and August. Each class offers focuses in music, movement and dance, musical theatre, acting, art, creative and outdoor play. You can choose between 2, 3, 4 or 5 classes with morning classes and afternoon classes available.
Our early morning classes will give students a chance to start their day in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Students will explore meditation and mindfulness practice to help everyone get their day off on the right foot. With mindfulness guiding their day students will walk 15 minutes to Qayqayt with their teachers for a breath of fresh air before settling in to school. Afternoon classes will include outdoor play, a creative class in a variety of different arts subjects, as well as provide opportunities for quiet activities for those students who may need to decompress before their class.
Instructors are experienced educators in early childhood and school aged programming with a deep understanding of the importance of arts exposure in a child’s life. They are excited to deliver thoughtful classes that will benefit your child for years to come as well as provide a supportive learning environment in your child’s classes
We are also committed to building a community of parents and students and look forward to sharing different holiday and special events with you throughout the year.

- The walk from our studio to Qayqayt is 900 meters.
- Our walk includes a trip up Lorne Street around a cul-de-sac near Douglas College and up a stair case to Agnes.
- Agnes will take us to 6th street where we will cross at a crosswalk.
- Continuing down Agnes we cross another crosswalk at 4th street.
- From there it is a straight shot to Ecole Qayqayt Elementary School on Merivale.
It is worth noting that our schedule allows for a 30 minute walk to and from the school. We have timed the walk ourselves and it usually takes 15 minutes. We've allowed extra time so that we aren't late to class or forced to feel rushed after our mindful morning.
