Summer camp registration opens seasonally. Dates and availability vary by location and age group – your daycare center team will guide you on session options, weeks offered, and how camp pairs with your child’s school‑year care.

Many Bright Horizons centers offer multiple programs under one roof, and we’re happy to help you create a year‑round care plan that fits your family: daycare now, after‑school during the school year, and summer camp when school’s out.

Many of our centers offer summer camp programs for infants through kindergarten prep with playful, age-right, seasonal activities that keep learning going all season. 

Our program curriculum and Discovery Driven Learning ™ approach grows with your child, from early communication and sensory play to projects, early math and literacy, and school-ready routines. 

We support kindergarten readiness by practicing early academics, social-emotional skills, and daily routines, so children transition to elementary school feeling confident, curious, and ready to learn. 

During a typical day at a Bright Horizons center, children enjoy center-based play, small group time, outdoor exploration, creative projects, and teacher-guided moments that connect play with real learning. 

Teachers at Bright Horizons support all learning styles by getting to know each child & offering movement, hands-on, visual, and language-rich experiences, so children engage in ways that best match their needs. Reach out to your local center to find out more about our individual approach.

Curriculum for each age group has its own goals and routines. Infants build secure relationships and early communication, toddlers explore movement and independence, preschoolers grow emerging academic and social skills, and kindergarten prep learners strengthen confidence and school-ready habits. 

Bright Horizons classrooms are built on warm relationships, respect, and a sense of belonging. Teachers create welcoming spaces, model kindness, support children’s strengths, and offer activities that help children feel seen, included, and confident in who they are.
