Bright Promises is a non-profit preschool owned and operated by the Osterville United Methodist Church. The school was established in 1996 as an outreach program to our surrounding community to provide a quality and yet affordable preschool program for all children.

The school is overseen by a Board of directors made up of members of the Osterville United Methodist Church’s congregation. The board works hard to keep tuition affordable and has established a scholarship program that families apply for in the spring.

The school’s director is Ellie Eaton. Ellie is a member of the church and worked with the board to open the preschool. Ellie has B.S. in Elementary Education, with additional courses in Early Childhood Education and is De- partment of Early Education and Care Director certified. Ellie has over 25 years experience working locally with young children. Ellie and her hus- band have raised two children and are life long Barnstable residents .
