Bright Horizons Children's Centers

The Bright Horizons Child Development Center at Poughkeepsie is a custom designed center created to fully meet the needs of the children and to maximize safety and teacher supervision. The teacher child ratio meets widely recognized national standards of quality as defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and New York State licensing agencies.

Our curriculum The World at Our Fingertips is based on the children understanding and making sense of the world around them. Each teacher fosters the children’s interests and skills and incorporates them into their daily lesson planning. Toward a Better World: Helping Children Make a Difference is a curriculum component of The World at Their Fingertips that supports and guides children’s development of empathycompassionand social awareness.While almost everything we do helps prepare children for success in school in some waycertain materials and activities are more directly focused in this area. Ready for School materials include our Handwriting without Tears and Math Our Way.

Our center is located high off of the main road. This offers plenty of opportunities for nature walks science experiments and animal watching. The inside of our center is filled with natural light which is warm and inviting. This facility is authorized to administer medications
