Classrooms that Inspire Learning
“Early childhood classrooms are special places; within them discoveries abound, imaginations soar, and anything is possible.”
Rachel Robertson - VP, Learning & Development at Bright Horizons
At Bright Horizons we believe that environment is the key to creating a joyful place for childhood; and we put a great deal of thought and care into creating those joyful places. In keeping with Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies, our designs consider not only what children need in a space, but how they will use it. We know our centers will form an integral part of a child’s earliest learning; and with that in mind, we carefully curate high-quality materials for every center to create beautiful environments with rich, open-ended experiences that nurture development and inspire learning.
