Preschool Philosophy

The Bright Horizons curriculum is based on the key principle that children learn best through active, hands-on exploration. With caring, well-trained, and experienced teachers as guides, our curriculum encourages discovery within a stimulating environment that can nurture each childs curiosity, potential, and growth.

At Bright Horizons, we regard "How smart is this child?" as less important than "How is THIS child smart?" As such, our teachers are mentors who plan and adapt intentional learning experiences for children based on a specific group of students and their individual child development needs.

The World at Their Fingertips is our unique early education curriculum created to foster individual development at every age and stage. Its objectives are based on attaining developmental achievements in all areas: social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive/intellectual. Recognizing that no two children develop at the same pace, our curriculum provides a framework for highly individualized and flexible learning experiences. Curriculum-based activities, projects, and learning centers keep children engaged while they build important skills to grow.

The World at Their Fingertips offers learning experiences through the following key components:

Language Works creates a language rich environment to cultivate a lifelong love of reading and integrates activities for listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Math Counts gives children mathematical experiences with one-to-one correspondence, counting, sorting, patterning, and problem solving to establish a solid foundation in mathematical reasoning.
Science Rocks stimulates childrens sense of wonder by encouraging them to question, experiment, observe, record, describe, and form conclusions.
Our World acknowledges and values the rich cultural heritage of families and provides a wide range of experiences for children to learn respect for our world, its diverse people, and the environment.
ArtSmart helps children develop an interest and appreciation of art, music, theater, and dance, encouraging them to uncover their talents and express themselves artistically.
Well Aware fosters positive attitudes toward healthy living, physical activity, and nutrition through appropriate experiences that incorporate healthful habits into daily routines.
