Our Curriculum

Our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum prepares children to take on their
school-age years and all the exciting steps ahead. Seven curriculum areas — from language and
social-emotional learning, to STEM and visual and creative arts — engage children through their
own interests. In the classroom, our Bright Horizons Discovery Driven Learning™ approach
inspires children not just to learn, but to think, act, tinker, create, be bold, experiment, design,
and explore.

Health and Wellness
Fosters positive attitudes towards healthy living,
physical activity, and nutrition by incorporating
healthful habits into daily routines.

Language and Literacy
Cultivates a lifelong love of language, books, and
reading through activities for listening, speaking,
reading, and writing — all integrated into a
language-rich environment.

Social-Emotional Learning
Nurtures children’s growing awareness of self and
others, which includes gaining self-esteem and a sense
of identity, learning to express and manage emotions,
and creating strong connections and positive
interactions with others.

STEM
Encourages children to explore science, technology,
engineering, and math through observation,
experimentation, problem solving, and discovery.

Thinking and Learning
Supports children’s foundational learning skills such as self-regulation, executive function, and creativity.

Toward a Better World: Community, Character, & Inclusion
Helps children learn respect for our world, its diverse people, and the environment through a wide range of experiences while acknowledging and valuing the rich cultural heritage of families.

Visual and Creative Arts
Encourages children to express themselves artistically and develop an appreciation for art through a variety of experiences — fine art, music, theater, dramatic play, and dance.
