• Ages: 0–5 years old
• Schedule: Flexible schedules all year round; preschool and Kindergarten Prep programs run year-round

In the preschool program at Bright Horizons, daily experiences focus on the comprehensive, optimum development of each child’s mind, body, social self, and character. The curriculum is described as designed by experts, facilitated by educators, and created with working parents in mind. Curriculum elements such as Caring Matters and Toward a Better World address social skills, self-expression, conflict resolution, and cooperative work. Age-specific programs are offered for Infants, Toddlers & Twos, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Elementary Schools Before & After-School, Summer Camps, and Montessori Schools.

All Bright Horizons Minneapolis staff are trained regularly in CPR/First Aid and Universal Precautions. Bright Horizons conducts a comprehensive background check on all prospective employees and frequent visitors, including a county criminal record check for the past seven years in all counties a person has lived, worked, or attended school, a sex offender search, an OFAC search, and a social security verification trace.

For more than 30 years, Bright Horizons has helped children discover their individual talents and strengths and become confident learners for life. Bright Horizons in Minneapolis prioritizes school readiness while also offering flexible schedules all year round. Bright Horizons Family Solutions also provides back-up care, on-site child care, elder care, college coaching, special needs support, workforce consulting, and education solutions for employers.

Bright Horizons has been named to Boston Business Journal’s 2025 Best Places to Work. One parent, Robyn S., states, “I know my kids are not only safe, but happy and learning. I love that they have a structure that allows them to maintain some normalcy.” A Bright Horizons Back-Up Care user describes the back-up care as “an unexpected blessing, very much appreciated as it allows working parents to maintain their productivity” and notes that their family “transitioned seamlessly between school/daycare and back-up care on our breaks and unexpected losses of care experienced during the pandemic.”
