For over 55 years, ABC Child Development Centers have been a steady presence for families across Northern Colorado, offering high-quality early childhood education services that are rooted in safety, trust, and community.
ABC has always had a clear mission: to provide safe, high-quality care where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Each center and program emphasizes the importance of positive role models, along with creative and engaging spaces, via thoughtful structure. This commitment to quality holds personal and family significance for Senator Scott Bright, a third-generation owner of ABC Child Development Centers.
As a lifelong Weld County resident born and raised in the Greeley area, his roots in Northern Colorado run deep, and so does his drive to serve the community that has supported him. With 35 years of experience working in early childhood education, Bright continues to push ABC to be the best option for families in the community.
“Our dedication to high quality has been nonstop and long-term,” Bright said. “We wouldn’t be in this space if we couldn’t provide a high-quality place for families and their kids that is very secure.” With six centers in Weld County, along with several school-based preschool programs and after-school programs, ABC has become a trusted destination for families seeking dependable care and meaningful development for their children.
At the heart of ABC’s success is a profound understanding of what quality early education truly entails. Two factors that are crucial to the success of creating these exceptional centers: the significance of high-quality, rich teacher-child interactions and the first-rate, well thought out environment itself.
At ABC, teachers are trained to engage children through meaningful, back-and-forth exchanges that aim to expand conversations and encourage thoughtful exploration. This process plays a critical role in early brain development. Equally important is the physical environment, which is intentionally arranged to inspire creativity, focus, and a sense of belonging. Attention to detail is not optional; it is foundational.
ABC operates on a simple but powerful philosophy: the best place for children is with their parents. When that is not possible, ABC strives to be the next best choice.
“Every community is different, especially in Colorado. We highly value the priorities that folks around here also prioritize, so we want to ensure that we can carry them forward for them. We want to maintain a service that they trust and a name that they know, and we want to continue to make sure that we have done right by them,” shared Bright. “We want to be known as a rock in the community, a place that families can count on.”
This belief has guided decades of decisions, from hiring team members who are teachable and growth-minded to sending parents home with resources on best practices for well-crafted interactions beyond the classroom. Bright emphasized the importance of providing families not just with resources, but with a wide range of options, so that they can make the best choice for their family.
Northern Colorado communities and families have unique values and priorities, and ABC works to reflect those in everything it does. By striving to be the best choice for children, ABC centers are continuing to help Northern Colorado kids develop foundational relationships, learn how to be great citizens, grow into champions for their community, and believe in their own potential.
