As a mom of three who works from home, finding people who can take care of my children in a way that makes us all feel safe and secure is crucial. As parents, we all want to find a place with people who love and support our children and encourage them to be their best in a nurturing environment. I’ve always believed a childcare facility that encourages children to learn the best way they can is the way to go.
When you are a working parent looking for childcare, a huge list of questions and concerns comes up. What is of utmost importance is finding a care provider that is right for your child and your family. You want your kids to be somewhere that is warm and loving and will also help them learn, grow, and thrive. You want them to love where they are and look forward to their days. And, of course, you want to be a part of it too!
When you find an environment that not only makes childhood and learning joyful but cares for each child and their individual needs, you are setting your children and your family up for success. Having a place that is not only a daycare facility but a home to grow with is imperative for confident babies who become confident children.
I had the opportunity to tour the Landmark location of Bright Horizons and was astonished by how happy everyone was. The kids couldn’t wait to start their days, the teachers loved their jobs, and the parents were clearly secure dropping their kids off for a fantastic day.
At its core, Bright Horizons has a curriculum that is designed for every age and stage and is designed with early learners in mind. Starting as young as 6 weeks old, children are encouraged to learn and grow from what is around them. They seek to build on individual strengths and empower their children to reach for the stars. Early learners are encouraged to explore not just the world around them but also what interests them and how they can use that in the classroom. These students carry this confidence with them and leave Bright Horizons ready for school, confident in their abilities and ready to take on the challenges ahead. Children take ownership of their work, and the pride shows.
Bright Horizons focuses on many aspects of learning with its World at Their Fingertips curriculum, which helps children become aware of the world around them and lets them learn in a way that works for them. There are six core tenets of the curriculum, encouraging the children to leave school ready for whatever comes next. Students focus on language, math, science (STEM), art, the world around them, and self-awareness.
In addition to encouraging students to explore their own interests and capitalize on their own talents, the staff makes sure parents are a part of the whole process. Parents don’t miss a thing, thanks to the MyBrightDay app. The app keeps parents up to date about everything going on in school and makes sure parents know what their children are learning. The teachers make sure to document what the children are learning with creative documentation boards in and outside the classrooms. Bright Horizons also seeks to educate the parents with webinars and events that encourage parents to understand what their children are learning and help them understand their children and their development.
The teachers and school as a whole work so hard with the parents to make sure the children are getting what they need, learning in a way that is best for them, and growing so they are ready to take on the world. Children come first and truly excel.
