When School is Out
School-age children can enroll in Bright Horizons centers that offer before- and after-school care, back-up care for school holidays and school closing days, and summer day-camp programs for children up to age 12. School-age children in child care need the opportunity to live and learn in a relaxed, “un-school like” setting.
SchoolsOUT
SchoolsOUT offers a relaxed, balanced program with time to play and learn with friends, finish homework, and let off steam. SchoolsOUT recognizes the growing physical, intellectual, and social competence of school-age children. Eager to explore the social world and discover how the adult world works, 6- to 12-year-olds thrive on challenges, friendships, clubs, and responsibility. They want to make things, build things, act out new dramatic possibilities, explore computers and books, construct imaginary worlds with dolls or Legos® and, most important, not be treated like “little kids.” They want to discover who they are and pursue their interests. SchoolsOUT reinforces their drive to learn with new challenges and opportunities to get out into the world.
Summer Camp
The summer day-camp programs, Our World Our Backyard, and Camp Explorations, offer a wealth of enrichment activities such as sports, field trips, computer explorations, and theater workshops. At a Bright Horizons center, you may find school-age children creating a magazine or a video, playing chess or shooting hoops, tutoring each other or forming a club, live or online. SchoolsOUT teachers are there alongside the children, facilitating, guiding, and illustrating that learning does not have to take on the tone and texture of a traditional school day.
