    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.

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

Sensory Bottles

You Will Need:

Empty clear plastic bottles (small water or soda bottles work great), rice, beans, small stones, feathers, small household items, masking tape.

Directions:

Fill the bottle up ¾ with the materials and seal it tight. Sealing it tight is important because a baby can choke on a loose bottle cap. Play with your baby or toddler by rolling, shaking and tapping the bottle. Explore the different sounds that the bottles make. Talk about the colors and weights (heavy/light).

Tip:

If you see the tape starting to peel - fix it immediately. If you have a glue gun handy, you can also use that to adhere the lid. Infants may also enjoy watching water in the bottle which has been dyed with food coloring. Adding glitter or small confetti stars to the water adds interest as well. Closely supervise - only allow your young child to play with the bottles when you are around.
