Some experiences are so meaningful, you want them for the next generation, too. 🌱✨

💙 For Kim Gorham, Bright Horizons runs in the family.

Three of her four children - and later, her grandson - attended our on-site center for PSECU employees. She fondly remembers the meaningful connections each teacher built with her family and how the curriculum prepared them for kindergarten and beyond.

"I'm realizing now, it's literally decades of great experiences with Bright Horizons." 😊

Kaylee Cargle's Bright Horizons story started when she brought her 12-week-old son, Henry, to the Tiny Tracks Children's Center. ✨

What began as convenience turned into a support system - the teachers helped Henry hit important milestones and grow with confidence while giving Kaylee the reassurance and encouragement she needed as a new mom.

💙 "Henry has now started preschool, and I can't wait to see how much more he grows."

📚 Help Us Reach Our Goal – Donate a Book Today! 📚

We’re hosting a book drive from October 27th to December 3rd in partnership with Crisis Intervention Services to collect new and gently used books for children of all ages—from birth through adulthood. Our goal is to donate 150 books to support local families, and we need your help!

This effort is part of a nationwide initiative by Bright Horizons to celebrate 25 years of the Growing Readers program. Together, we’re aiming to donate 25,000 children’s books to non-profit organizations across the country by the end of 2025.

📖 Did you know that books are over 60% less likely to be found in under-resourced homes? Increasing access to print is one of the most effective ways to boost reading achievement—and you can be part of the solution.

📬 If you’d like to send a book to our center, please reach out to us for our mailing address. Every book makes a difference!
Let’s work together to spread the joy of reading and support children in need. 💛

Separation is so hard - but planning activities and rituals can help your child stay connected to you or your partner during deployment.

Start a countdown, create a "while you were away" journal, and communicate as much as you can. 💡 See all of our ideas here: https://bh.social/3YzqDzP
