Savvy Source's and Parents' Comments
Description of how teachers work with children who are
"behind," "excelling" or "different" from the majority of students
Bright Horizons Family Solutions recognizes the unique strengths of each child and uses those strengths to help the child meet high expectations. We are committed to helping children develop the information-gathering and problem-solving tools to succeed in school. Children will learn to use their minds, books, computers, scientific instruments, and the people in their lives to seize the opportunities that life presents. Through observation and interaction, teachers look at each child individually and work closely with his parents to make appropriate developmental decisions. Teachers will also work with parents to locate outside resources if necessary and work with those resources to ensure the child is getting everything he needs to be a successful learner.

Parent #1
Teacher #1 was the teacher for my son for approximately 8 months and she was great; then he had Teacher #2 for 4 months who seemed to not be as qualified as Teacher #1. This was rather disappointing.
