OUR HISTORY

 

From the very start, Bright Horizons' founders believed that doing well was firmly intertwined with doing good. That mission was formalized in 1999 when the company created the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children. Since then, the organization has provided the framework and the support for employees, clients, vendors, families, and friends to leverage our early learning expertise to positively impact at-risk children and other community members who can benefit from our support.

COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

The Bright Horizons Foundation for Children does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, religion, disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran or military status, pregnancy, ancestry, age or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, county or local laws, regulations or ordinances.


To be eligible for support, either financial or in-kind, from the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children, an organization must be prepared to provide evidence of a similar non-discrimination policy (written or unwritten) with regard to how it offers its programs and services to the intended beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, organizations that offer gender-based programs or provide programs and services designed to benefit a specific population will not be considered discriminatory for this reason alone.
