A Great Place for Your Baby....and Family!
Bright Horizons Early Education & Preschool is proud to be a sponsor of the 2011 Online Carolina Parent Baby Fair
A Great Place to be a Baby
At Bright Horizons, we develop programs to make sure we work together with parents in the exciting adventure of growing a great child in a caring and learning community. From your very first moment in a Bright Horizons center, we assign you and your baby a primary caregiver to ensure that your baby receives individual attention. The primary caregiver plays a special role and is responsible for your baby's prime times: those critical one-to-one moments of caring and play, nurturing and communication. The other teachers in the room and many others in the center also will become special people to your baby. They will learn just what your baby needs from you and the primary caregiver.
A Place for Babies to Thrive All babies are born with a job to do: to learn about the world and develop into the very best people they can be. Bright Horizons provides a child care experience that helps them do just that. Our curriculum, The World at Their Fingertips, provides babies with a safe, welcoming environment abundant with opportunities to actively enjoy. We help your baby to make sense of the world by exploring a rich sensory environment filled with different sights, sounds, textures, and sensations. At Bright Horizons, infants and toddlers:
- Discover and develop
all their bodily powers with room to grow and soft, safe places to roll over and pull up, to creep and crawl, and to step out into the world.
- Deeply connect with others in a caring community that helps your baby form relationships that foster a sense of security and trust.
- Learn to communicate fully in a place filled with wonderful conversations, poetry, finger plays, singing, reading, and lots of smiles and hugs.
- Discover how things work with quality educational materials and learning experiences that evoke and satisfy your baby's natural curiosity.
At Bright Horizons, you'll find a warm, welcoming environment for your child to grow and thrive, and for you to feel relaxed and at ease. Stop in any time. Visit with your baby and be certain that your family is valued and respected. Every day is a new adventure, and you can be sure we'll share all the joys and struggles along the way. Most important, at Bright Horizons, you can be confident your baby will always be safe, cared for, and well loved.
Communication is Essential As parents, you deserve to know everything that happens while your baby is in our care. Her day is your day. We'll share everything with you about your child's adventures, from naptime to bottle time, through daily communications, photographic deisplays, and our World at Their Fingertips curriculum portfolio. To make sure the care we provide is just right for you and your baby, a personal care plan includes a schedule, nutritional guidelines, and any other requirements specific to your child. The plan will reflect your child's unique characteristics and your own beliefs, values, and culture. Regular phone calls, conferences, and e-mails are all part of this important partnership.
We invite you to contact us to receive more information and schedule a visit to experience our warm, welcoming environment where your child will grow and thrive. We hope you'll look closely, ask a lot of questions, bring along grandparents or friends, and visit as often as you need to feel confident in this important decision.
