Part of a Westport church has been leased to an early childhood program.

Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Program signed a lease for 7,513 square feet of space at 49 Weston Road, the home of the United Methodist Church of Westport and Weston. The location is next to Exit 42 off the Merritt Parkway. Bright Beginnings offers full-time and part-time programs for infants, toddlers and preschoolers and has four locations in Stamford, Fairfield, Norwalk and now Westport.

The space, an entire floor at the property, is currently being remodeled to fit the needs of the preschool and day care center.

According to a listing, the space can accommodate up to 90 children and features direct access to two large, outdoor, gated playgrounds totaling nearly 9,000 square feet trails that are part of the Aspetuck Land Trust.

Westport-based HK Group was the only broker involved in the transaction.
