I remember the first time I picked up my son from Bright Horizons, he didn’t want to leave. He was having a blast and joking around with one of the teachers over a game they were playing. It was the sweetest thing and I felt so comfortable with him there because I knew he was in good hands. In my opinion, Bright Horizons is a pretty magical place.
These are the top five things I love about Bright Horizons:
- The teachers. Hands down the thing that makes Bright Horizons special are the people. They are seriously talented baby whisperers and can help lighten things up by helping children laugh when they are feeling uneasy. They engage with and are intentional about their care with the kids. It is obvious that they take joy and pride in it the service they provide.
- The center. I love how clean and well-managed space is. When you walk in, you will notice kid-friendly furniture, toys, books, as well as kid-sized toilets and sinks, and an attractive atmosphere with artwork. Even if there are several kids around, the place still seems peaceful.
- The Emergent Curriculum. Their curriculum themes seem to make kids more curious about the world we live in. They have themes that they base their activities off of like exploring the ocean, bugs, energy, transportation, etc. But it doesn’t end there, they extend the curriculum into their music, physical activity, experiments, art, and books. They delve into subjects that I would have never thought to do at home. I am very thankful for their professional eye for education.
- The communication. The information I receive about my children are on point. I legit never worry about them (and I am a worrier!). One time my son tripped while walking and they called to let me know (he is fine!), but I love the responsibility they have to make sure there is always open communication with parents. We are literally able to see in real-time what the kids are up to and I enjoy the updates I get with photos and daily reports.
- Their growth. Bright Horizons always seem to be up-to-date and implementing the latest technology and best practices with education, health, and overall well-being. Not just for the kids, but for the employees too.
