2026 Halloween Mix

October Fun Hits The Sweet Spot

Halloween at last! But with the official date falling on Saturday, patients at BrightStart PPEC centers each had a dress rehearsal this week.

Our first fright takes place on a sunny, warm day out west at BrightStart Winter Garden.

So many of these Universes. Here’s SpiderMime.

Patients made the rounds at neighboring businesses then rallied back to the center for more un-costumed craziness.

On Thursday, Winter Garden had a visit from Dr. Tashi Mahli DO, a pediatric resident from Orlando Health, and medical student Jennifer Le. They were learning about PPEC, which we think is a real treat.

Lifestyles of the Witches and Famous

A Thursday of thrills and no chills at BrightStart Orlando.

Spooky Fact: Patients and staff have haunted the Southchase Plaza for trick-or-treat fun for twenty-three years and counting!

Filling that prescription for dance fun.
Trashiest. Costume. Ever.
As a matter of fact, I can just fly out of here, anytime I want.

After that adventure, everyone gathered back at the center for a Howl At the Noon party.

Keeping Up With the Boneses

Finally it’s more kooky and less spooky with the crew from BrightStart Sanford. Their frightfully fun Friday was a parade around the Brio Business Center. 

Once again lots of trick-or-treaters brought along family for extra fun, and to carry all the treats.

BrightStart thanks our friendly and considerate neighbors in Winter Garden, Orlando and Sanford for providing treats, smiles and encouragement to our great patients.
