Bright Horizons at Newton

Bright Horizons at Newton is a child care center and preschool for children from 2 months to 6 years old, run by Bright Horizons, the early education and employer benefits company headquartered in Newton. Its programs, which the company says offer more than daycare, span care for babies through classes meant to get children ready for school, and they are built on the company’s Discovery Driven Learning approach.

The center runs all year, and its summer program is organized around weekly investigative themes such as Adventure in the Arts, Science Sleuth, Nature Explorer, Music Makers and Full STEM Ahead. Teachers describe the job in terms of watching children grow and making a difference in their lives. Bright Horizons was founded in 1986 and now operates centers across the United States and abroad, many of them sponsored by employers.
