Social-emotional skills

One of the many reasons Jeannie loves Bright Horizons: they’re helping her son form friendships and become a kind, caring person — a benefit that will last.

World-class educators

Jay can tell his daughter has developed tremendously, and her teachers have been great partners in working with them, listening to them, and going the extra mile.

Work-day convenience

For Kawther, child care close to work has been a game-changer. And for Sinan, it has made work-from-home much less challenging. “It’s a huge benefit for us.”

Incredible early education

Hear why Cara is impressed with Bright Horizons — where fun is built into every activity. “Not only is he learning,” she says, “He’s learning to love to learn.”

The right approach

Patrick thinks the learning-through-play philosophy is exactly right for his children. At pick-up, he says, “They don’t even want to leave!”

A reliable parenting partner

With her own family “a world away,” Jossy says Bright Horizons was always more than a school. As a first-time mom, she learned so much from the teachers.
