Books are magic. At Bright Horizons®, we help children, families, and teachers share the joy of reading. Now in its 25th year, our Growing Readers program offers monthly book recommendations and storytelling tips to help you bring books to life at home. It inspires young minds to see the world and develop compassion and acceptance through the work of diverse authors and illustrators.

Ready to Read
Our proprietary Ready to Read program brings Growing Readers into our early education centers, connecting top-quality books to strategic literacy concepts as part of our language and literacy curriculum in our Discovery Driven Learning® classrooms. We help children discover the joy of reading, provide a wide variety of language-rich experiences, and encourage confidence and skill-building to prepare preschoolers for reading success.
