Bright Horizons'
Heart Principles
Bright Horizons’ HEART Principles are the foundation of our culture and how we interact with one another when we are at our best. These values — Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, Teamwork — guide all of us in the work we do each day.
onesty
Within the Bright Horizons family, we create an environment of honesty and trust by communicating openly and authentically with one another and respecting the opinions of those with whom we work. We listen to the needs and concerns of those we serve and respond with a sense of urgency.
xcellence
Quality is a description we earn and maintain every day by creating healthy and safe environments for our employees and the children in our care and attending to the smallest details in all that we do. We are doing serious and important work.
ccountability
We are accountable for our actions. We acknowledge and learn from our mistakes; we do not dwell on them. We ask the question “why not?” before we say “no,” with the understanding that an unconditional “yes” is not always the appropriate answer.

We strengthen our organization by being intentional about respecting individuality, embracing diversity and inclusion, and never allowing acts of nonacceptance. We give each child, family, colleague, learner, and client our full attention.
eamwork
We collaborate to achieve our goals and find ways to celebrate our successes. We take pride in what we do, never losing sight of the joy and fun in our work. We acknowledge each other’s contributions and say, “thank you."

Our Story
Bright Horizons: Our Ongoing Mission to Change the Way the World Works
In 1986, our founders saw that child care was an enormous obstacle for working parents. On-site centers became one way we responded to help employees – and organizations -- work better.
Today we offer child care, elder care, and help for education and careers -- tools used by more than 1,000 of the world’s top employers and that power many of the world's best brands
