When discovery drives learning, everyone grows 

At Bright Horizons, we do what’s best for children — and that’s usually what’s best for teachers, too. Our classrooms are built on nurturing relationships, curiosity, and joy. We believe when children feel safe, valued, and inspired, they thrive — and so do the educators guiding them.

Discovery Driven Learning®

Our proprietary teaching framework, Discovery Driven Learning, puts children’s natural curiosity at the center of everything we do. We don’t rely on canned curriculum — instead, our educators create rich, meaningful experiences that spark wonder and exploration. 
 
Teachers are active participants in learning, playing and discovering alongside children. Whether they’re new to the field or a seasoned educator, we provide ongoing training and support to help them thrive. And our planning and assessment tools are streamlined and intuitive, giving teachers more time to do what they love — teach, connect, and inspire.
