Kindergarten
Bright Horizons’ kindergarten programs recognize that children will soon be entering
schools that have a range of expectations for a child's social and academic performance.
Bright Horizons’ kindergartens provide a comprehensive, learning-centered approach
that challenges children and supports all areas of development. It recognizes both
the value of emergent curriculum and the need for directed, sequential instruction
to ensure that children enter first grade with the skills and knowledge expected
of them in the school that they will attend.
Adapted to Expectations of Local Schools
Each Bright Horizons center develops expectations and practices in concert with
the local schools that the children will be attending. At the same time, the curriculum
in every kindergarten homebase builds off the child’s knowledge base and skills,
learning style, and interests. There is a clear emphasis on the development of strong
language, math, and science skills. Important “school skills” of listening carefully,
following through on a sequence of tasks, and working cooperatively are reinforced.
Program for Learning
The Bright Horizons kindergarten extends from the planned child-choice
World at Their Fingertips learning environment and incorporates Language
Works, Math Counts, Science Rocks, Our World, Well Aware, ArtSmart,
and Projections to offer each child a kindergarten program for learning
designed for school success.
