Bright Horizons Seaport

Bright Horizons Seaport is the Boston Seaport location of Bright Horizons, which the directory describes as a leading child care and early education center. The company’s early education programs span infant care, toddler care, preschool, kindergarten prep and kindergarten, following its science-informed Discovery Driven Learning approach, which it says is designed by experts, facilitated by educators and created with working parents in mind.

Bright Horizons began in 1986, when its founders saw child care as an enormous obstacle for working parents and responded in part with on-site centers at employers. Today it employs more than 31,000 people and partners with more than 1,450 employers, offering child care, back-up care, elder care and education benefits. The company is headquartered in Newton and was named to the Boston Business Journal’s 2025 Best Places to Work list.
