What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Beyond Daycare: Meeting Your Child Care & Early Education Needs

At Bright Horizons, we understand that your child’s education and care is a priority and that choosing the right program is a big decision. Our early education programs and schools include world-class curriculum and knowledgeable child development professionals that meet the needs of children at every age and stage.

WEBINAR: Skill-Building for Future Success

A bright future starts with a forward-thinking education based on progressive ideas. And to be successful later in life, children need to learn future-focused skills like executive function, critical thinking, and empathy, as well as academic concepts like STEM. Join us to learn why these abilities are important, how they can be applied later in life, and ways you can encourage this skill development at home.

Celebrating #BHPride

The Bright Horizons community is a vibrant tapestry of children, families and employees who represent many different cultures, backgrounds and experiences. We were proud to celebrate our culture of inclusion and diversity at the annual Boston Pride Parade with staff from area centers and the home office.

Celebrating 30 Years of Learning!

Bright Horizons is proud to celebrate 30 years as the early educator and partner of choice for families and employers around the world. We look forward to supporting the next generation of parents and children, and continue to cheer the big steps made by the early learners at all of our centers.
