    Ensuring children are prepared to succeed in school and life.

Our whole-child approach ensures that children are exposed to a diverse array of learning activities and that they thrive in all areas of development, becoming creative thinkers, complex problem solvers, empathetic collaborators, curious investigators, and astute decision makers.

    School Age

    Guiding children to experience their world and pursue their interests

    Our school-age program recognizes the growing physical, intellectual, and social competence of older children. Eager to explore the social world and discover how the adult world works, school-age children thrive on challenges, friendships, clubs, and responsibility. They want to make things, build things, act out new dramatic possibilities, explore computers and books, construct imaginary worlds and most important, not be treated like "little kids." Read More

What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends.

"From the moment we drop off our child to the moment we pick her up we are comforted by the care, education and love you provide to her on a daily basis. With each day she is brighter, happier and a more well-rounded child."

World at their Fingertips

The building blocks to a balanced education.

"When I go into one of our centers, I can immediately tell that learning is happening. You see children in small groups engaged in activities that have been thoughtfully prepared."

- Dave Lissy, Bright Horizons CEO

Basket, Materials of different colors and textures: fur, fuzzy synthetic fabric, silk, burlap, velvet, satin, metallic, chiffon, etc.

Directions:

Place basket on floor with toddler. Talk about textures as your child pulls them out of the basket. Ask toddler questions, “Which one is soft?”, “Show me the rough one,” Comment on toddler's reaction to the materials, “You like the velvet, don’t you?” “Do you want to rub the satin on your arm?”

Tip:

Twelve by twelve inch squares are suggested to avoid your child getting tangled in large pieces of fabric. Watch the strings that unravel from the edges. Wash materials routinely.
