“We are very excited to host ‘Celebrate the Arts Day’ at our center and showcase our Art Studio. We invite the community to join as we celebrate with our local friends from Dre Towey’s band, Southern Yankee and Pink Monkey Water,” said Center Director, Kelly Esposito.

“Like all classroom spaces at Bright Horizons, the new Art Studio was designed specifically to support the intellectual growth of the children in our center and we can’t wait for the state-of-the-art studio and supplied to be put to good use during the festivities," she said.

The Art Studio at Bright Horizons is a place where children have a custom-designed area with ample, beautifully arranged materials and tools to inspire creativity and often encourage the development of long-term artistic and educational projects.  Work in the art studio may grow out of the study of great artists or may grow out of the original ideas of children and complement creative endeavors taking place in the classroom.

Bright Horizons at Wilton serves families in Fairfield County with children age six weeks to twelve years, allowing working parents the opportunity to balance their work and family life while providing high quality early education for their children. The center offers full and part-time child care and drop-in/back-up care on a space-available basis.

Bright Horizons offers a unique early learning curriculum for children.  The World at Their Fingertips program for learning offers each child a world full of discovery opportunities guided by skilled teachers who recognize each child’s individual strengths and helps them to learn, grow and live fully.  The World at Their Fingertips uses engaging programs, such as Language Works, Math Counts and Science Rocks, to teach children the basic language, math and science skills that will prepare them for future academic excellence.  The center’s Growing Readers campaign also emphasizes the importance of early literacy and provides parents with information about language development and books of excellence for their children.

Bright Horizons operates each of its centers according to the highest standards of excellence as defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and has the best record of accreditation from the NAEYC of any multi-site employer-sponsored workplace services provider in the country, a distinction of quality that fewer than six percent of centers in the U.S. achieve.
