‘Tis the season for lists: best movies, best books, best music, best…lists (really -- look it up!).

So we’ve got our own – specifically, our rundown of reasons we love working at Bright Horizons.

At the top? Well, that’s obvious; colleagues. There are lots of us; thousands – smart, goal-oriented, driven people spread across cites, states, countries; in person, by remote, and hybrid; all committed to the same mission; to take care of learners of all ages, and find answers to the care challenges so many people face – one family, child, and learner at a time. We like to think we’re pretty awesome (not that we’re biased).

What are nine other reasons Bright Horizons employees love coming to work?

#9: Family supporting: Bright Horizons educators are superheroes, caring for children, teaching skills, and supporting parents in a single bound. “I could write a novel about my son’s incredible teachers,” says one mom of a toddler. “I couldn’t do my job without them!”

#8: Day saving: What happens when employees caring for kids and parents need a back-up plan? Why, they come to us and get to work on days they otherwise might have stayed at home. “This benefit,” one mom told us, “is seriously the best thing ever for working moms.” Talk about impact!

#7: Future building: Dreams become degrees thanks to educational counselors who know their stuff about everything from essays and campuses to applications and FAFSA. “We answer thousands of client questions,” says one of our experts, “and celebrate thousands of acceptances every year.”

#6: Culture of advancement, corporate edition: Employees graduating with an MBA? O.H. Y.E.S. – and with financial help from the company. And that’s just one of the educational opportunities available to employees who work for us.

#5: Culture of advancement, teacher edition: Did we mention teachers can earn their college degree – for free? Yes, yes they can. And they do. Lots of them. And we get to celebrate their graduations.

#4: Difference making: Our services covered 10 million+ lives last year. That’s a “10” and six “000,000.” A lot. Yeah, we’re proud of that. And we’ll do it all again in 2023.

#3: Celebrations: Sure, education and care is serious business. But there’s always time to celebrate (baseball opening day; Halloween; Diwali). And we’d be remiss to say that around here, the title “corn hole champ” is a badge of honor.

#2: Our Office: The shiny new spot has places to run, eat, lounge, hike, eat, and yes, even work. Did we mention eat? Booyah. P.S. We’ve got awesome remote employees who meet us virtually from all over the place, too.

#1 Great place to work: We are. Really. But don’t take our work for it – the Boston Globe says so. And in case you’re interested, People and Great Place to Work says we’re one of the Companies that Care (we do!) – for the second time.

That’s the short list. So many more reasons to give us a look. Did we mention great colleagues? ‘Cause…c’mon. What’s your specialty -- educator? Marketing? IT? Customer Service? Yeah – we’ve got that. And a lot more. Check out our careers page for the full list of opportunities to see where you can put your skills to work.
