Bright Horizons at Wellesley

Bright Horizons at Wellesley is a child care center in the Wellesley Office Park, caring for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Its early education programs, which the company says offer more than daycare, run from care for babies to classes aimed at getting children ready for school. They follow Bright Horizons’ Discovery Driven Learning approach, summed up in the center’s tagline about curiosity leading to confidence.

Teachers at the center talk about the light-bulb moments when a child grasps a new idea, about children’s creativity in coming up with their own ideas, and about how children approach problem solving and teamwork. Bright Horizons, founded in 1986 and based in neighboring Newton, operates centers around the United States and abroad and also provides child care and related family benefits that employers offer to their employees.
