School Age Programs

Bright Horizons® recognizes the growing physical, intellectual, and social skills of the increasingly independent school-age child. Eager to achieve socially and academically while expanding their knowledge of the world, 6-12-year olds seek new challenges, close friendships, and increasing responsibilities. Our school break and summer school-age programs have been designed just for them.

Summer Explorations

Summer Explorations at Bright Horizons® has everything under the sun: action-packed days, engaging projects, fun and educational activities, and more. Here, preschoolers (ages 3-5) and school-age children (ages 6-12) will have the opportunity to enjoy what summer has to offer, and our safe environment will give you the peace of mind you need.

Reading Program (3-5)

The Kumon Reading Program starts your pre-readers off with fun “look, listen and repeat” worksheets. Colorful illustrations help connect words to familiar objects, to start putting words together. Your child will progress to identify nouns, verbs and adjectives, and use them within sentences.

Reading Program (13+)

A strong reader excels not only in a range of academic subjects, but also in everyday life. As your child studies complex texts in literature, you'll soon see advances in reading, a better understanding of content, the ability to form and support well-thought-out opinions, and more.

Infants

Infant classrooms foster an environment of safety, comfort, and security. In classrooms filled with nurturing teachers, sensory discoveries, and new friends, we help babies thrive through age-appropriate and individualized interactions. We partner with you to develop an approach that is consistent with your family’s routine to ease the transition from home to school. During waking hours, infants are offered both individual and group lessons to stimulate senses and brain development and build core skills essential to self-discovery and empathy.

Toddlers

In the dynamic environment of our Little Sprouts toddler classrooms, children begin to acclimate to a schedule within a whole group setting. Through a combination of personalized instruction and small group time, teachers advance toddlers’ resourcefulness, critical thinking skills, and capacity for compassion. Our toddler child care approach includes a balance of child-directed and teacher-initiated opportunities. Hands-on learning and play keep toddlers actively engaged and continuously interested in understanding more about themselves, their friends and family, and the world around them.

Infant Program

At this age, your infant is mainly learning through observation and exploration. For example, as our Infant teachers talk and sing with your child during feeding, diaper changes and playtime, your little one is beginning to understand language and conversation. Nurturing interactions like these will fill your child’s day and can be adapted and personalized to meet their individual needs.

Toddler Program

In our Toddler program, you’ll find carefully selected equipment that our newest walkers love to climb on, crawl through and hide in while stretching their gross motor skills. Teachers also use books, toys, games and other materials to create exciting explorations into colors, shapes, science and more.
