  • Why Use Back-Up Care?

    We help you balance your work and home life.


    Bright Horizons understands the challenges you face balancing competing personal and professional demands, especially when child care issues arise.

    Use Back-Up Care Advantage when: 

    • Your regular caregiver is unavailable, sick, or on vacation
    • Your stay-at-home spouse has appointments
    • You are transitioning between care arrangements
    • Your regular child care center is closed
    • You are transitioning back to work from parental leave
    • You are traveling for business and taking your child with you
    • School is closed due to inclement weather or a vacation day


  • About the Curriculum

    Our unique approach to education

    Bright Horizons’ The World at Their Fingertips®

    We believe that children experience learning through play. Based on this belief, we provide a wide variety of activities in all the curriculum areas - math, science, language, culture, environment, art, and health - where children can experience “hands on” learning. Our goal is to ensure that your child’s day in back-up care is a rich and meaningful experience.
