About Us

          Deniseowner & director of this great center has been working in child care for over 37 years. She has her CDA (Child Development Associates Credential) & continues to take classes still today.  Denise has been the director of Bryden Academy Learning & Daycare for over 17 years & became the owner in 2004. Denise has 5 daughters, 5 son-in-laws & 7 grand kids. Denise’s oldest daughter, Tina is the Assistant Director, but thru the years all her daughters have worked at the center.
      Each Caregiver that works at our center is required to take 20 or more hours or training thru the CCR&R, Weber State, The Children’s Center & various online courses. Most of them are in the process of receiving their CDA's as well. Also, they must pass a federal & state extensive background check for child care, be certified in CPR & First Aid & hold a current food handlers permit. Most of our caregivers have been here for years, a few have been here just as long as Denise.
       Bryden Academy Learning & Daycare & our staff has worked very hard over the past years to get to where it is today! We have received several grants from the state to help us remodel the outdoor play area, add more educational and developmental appropriate learning materials to each classroom, and other remodels to make Bryden Academy Learning & Daycare even better. 
        Bryden Academy Learning & Daycare has also received various "BABY STEPS" grants, "NEXT STEPS" grants and a "QUALITY IMPROVEMENT" grants. With each grant, teachers are required to continue training year after year by taking appropriate early childhood courses and uphold certain guidelines (ITERS guidelines) in their classrooms that are given by the state. They are also required to set goals with each grant, and grant renewal, to keep bettering themselves as caregivers and Bryden Academy Learning & Daycare as a whole! 

Our Objectives

• To provide a positive, home-like atmosphere where the children feel loved & comfortable in. An environment that will help stengthen the physical, intellectual and emotional growth of the children each day.
• Use positive guidance techniques to strengthen the childs self-esteem & help them focus on developing self help & problem solving skill
• Provide an environment where learning happens as a result of "FUN"; that is done by scheduling “free play” time as well as “structured” learning activities throughout the day that are appropriate for the developmental age of the child
• We know childcare is a very important decision for each & every parent to make,but we strive everyday to​ make it our goal to earn your complete confidence that your childs every needs are met!!
