Bright Horizons Early Education and Preschool is committed to helping children develop positive attitudes toward physical activity, nutrition and healthy living. Our policies, curriculum and parents partnership help children develop a positive self-image, make healthy nutrition choices and show respect for their bodies—habits that will last a lifetime. One of the ways we encourage children to learn more about fitness and healthy eating, is through the Bright Horizons Well Aware and Movement Matters curriculum. Movement Matters helps children understand their bodies and encourages them to discover their bodies in motion. The Well Aware curriculum is more than a fitness and wellness program—it’s an approach to life.
Bright Horizons also partners with The Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), and serves as an open model for child care centers nationwide. In agreement with PHA, Bright Horizons focuses on nutrition and physical activity.
