Learning That Lasts a Lifetime!

A Great Place for Learning — And for Childhood

How do you answer a child who asks “Why?” At Bright Horizons, teachers answer with, “Let’s find out!” It’s part of Bright Horizons’ unique approach to early learning where teachers encourage exploration, and where children start on the path to school readiness and becoming confident learners for life. 

What else makes Bright Horizons different?    

Created by Experts

Rooted in research and designed by early childhood experts, Bright Horizons programs are designed for the way children learn, with curriculum that grows as children do, from infant to school age.

Trusted by Parents

Industry-leading COVID safety protocols are informed by experts from a top children’s hospital, in line with CDC, state, and local guidelines and recommendations, and trusted every day by parents around the country, including many on the frontlines of healthcare. 

Supported by the Best Teachers

Award-winning training supports top teachers — each with the opportunity to go back to school and earn a college degree for free. 

A Great Place for Children

Programs include the individualized care parents want, paired with the subject areas — reading, math, science, and more — children need.

A Great Place for Parents, Too
