Does Bright Horizons offer programs for children with special needs?

Yes. Since we take an individualized approach to child care, our centers are able to accommodate children with special needs. We facilitate collaboration between parents, specialists, teachers, and directors to develop a specialized care plan for special needs students that maximizes learning opportunities while eliminating barriers and safety issues.

Does Bright Horizons perform background checks on employees?

Yes, we conduct comprehensive background checks on every staff member, as well as every frequent visitor in our classrooms. Our checks consist of a county criminal record check for every county where a person has lived, worked, or studied in the past seven years. We also perform a search of sex offender and OFAC databases to make sure there is no conviction or suspicious behavior that might cast doubt on a person’s suitability to care for children.
