Bright Horizons at Crittenton offers a STEM Lab, Art Studio, Growing Readers, and Movement Matters Zone.
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM education refers to an educational approach that integrates at least two of these four disciplines. Bright Horizons Science Rocks curriculum stimulates children’s sense of wonder by encouraging them to question, experiment, observe, record, describe and form conclusions. Our STEM Lab is equipped with advanced equipment allowing teachers to guide children on how to think critically and how to become problem solvers in these areas. We typically include studies of physics, earth science, plant life, and so much more!
The Art Studio is a specific area dedicated to provide instruction in appreciation of the arts. Visual art presents opportunities for children to manipulate materials and express themselves purely on a sensory level. The teacher’s role is to encourage children to manipulate materials. Our philosophy is to focus on the process, not the product. Visual art is what the child does - not the adult.
Growing Readers is part of the Learning at Home family of parenting resources and children’s activities. Books of Excellence and Notable Books are selected annually by a panel of early childhood experts and represent some of the best new writing in children’s literature.

We strive to improve children’s physical health by reducing obesity, relieving stress, building self-esteem, and decreasing illness. We strive to improve children’s health and wellness through a daily movement program and instill lifelong healthy habits.
