What Parents are Saying Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends. "Thank you for everything you do for our son and our family! The ongoing communication you provide to us about our son's daily activities, interactions with other children, and growth experiences help us to feel better equipped as parents."
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 Watch
Learning at Home Open Ended Story You Will Need: Paper, crayons,pencils Directions: Children and parents can sit and create their own story to share. Parents begin the story then let children continue. The story then becomes a collorborative effort. You can also ask the children to create artwork to go with the story. Tip: Parents could start the story, "once upon a time..." The story can continue over time (ex: add more nightly) Variation: More Ideas
