[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for Bright Horizons and I can tell you that a good Pre-school is dependent upon the teachers and if the teachers are not happy it will transfer to the children.  I feel that this organization has picked up on a very lucrative need in our culture and that is of course the need for "daycare".  They do follow the licensing rules and keep the children safe however, they have very little knowledge of what is developmentally appropriate for the children. The site I worked at had about 20 full time teachers and only one of which had a degree in early childhood education.  I have a Masters Degree in Education and I decided to work for Bright Horizons because of a possible career path.  I soon realized that the philosophy of this organization is "bottom line".  I was not a good fit for this company and I definitely would not send my child to any Bright Horizon school. It's really sad that most parents are taken in by the rhetoric, the "tours" and the glossy hype of this organization.    [/quote]

Thank you for this.  I also worked in a BH, CCBH, but one in the city.  I agree with everything that the PP said about the company.  They are focsed on the bottom line and know very little about developmentaly appropraite practice.  But they sure do but on a good show and really have some pretty brochures!
