As a parent, can I visit my child at Bright Horizons at a time?
OPEN
Due to COVID-19 Health and Safety protocols at child care centers, any adult coming to the center must have an appointment.
What should parents look for to find the right child care provider?
OPEN
With a new baby, there are few decisions that feel larger than choosing the right child care solution.
You want to make sure you understand what quality early education looks like. You want a place where you know your child will be in the hands of early education teachers who will nurture your child’s early childhood development, supporting today’s leaps and tomorrow’s milestones. Our teachers know about how a brain of a develops and what babies think.
At Bright Horizons, we offer early education and child care that’s much more than a daycare center – it’s a place where your infant will learn, grow, and thrive in an environment designed to capture the joys of childhood while providing individualized learning.
Can a parent drop into a child care classroom without an appointment?
OPEN
No. Parents should schedule an appointment if they want to visit a daycare . No parent would want any adult to be able to enter the facility without warning, and thus child care facilities should require an appointment.
At Bright Horizons, we offer Zoom and in-person visits so we can understand what your family needs for child care, including when you would start your first day of child care, what your schedule would be and about when you expect your baby to be born. We also want to allow ample time for you to ask questions about our early education and preschool programs.
Does Bright Horizons have a daycare waiting list? What do I do if I want to enroll in a program and space is not available when my family’s maternity and paternity leave are over?
OPEN
Depending on where you live, and schedule you need for care, you may see child care waitlists. You can select and register with up to three Bright Horizons child care locations, including the center in which you are most interested. By registering, you are confirming interest in all three centers. Once registered, we will add you to our waitlist and offer you a space as soon as one becomes available.
Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows, and so during the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status. While waiting for a space to become available at the first-choice location, many families enroll at their second or third choices temporarily until space becomes available at their first-choice centers. Enrolling at another location will not only solve your immediate child care needs, but will provide you priority access to your first preference.
Is it safe to send my baby to child care?
OPEN
Ask each child care provider you’re considering to take the time to explain all health and safety policies to you. Consider asking:
1. How will you contact me if my baby gets sick at child care?
2. Can a mildly ill child (stuffy nose, cough) still come to child care?
3. How do you decide if a child needs emergency medical care?
4. Are daycare staff trained in first aid and CPR?
5.
How do you approach wellness, exercise, healthy eating and self-care for children?
Bright Horizons is trusted by parents including many doctors and nurses, to care for their children. We’ve partnered with pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Kristin Moffitt of Boston Children’s Hospital to implement enhanced safety protocols for all areas including daily health screening, distancing, cleaning, and disinfecting. Our goal is to ensure that all of our health and safety practices in every center are in line with recommendations provided by the CDC and requirements of state and local municipalities. All Bright Horizons centers have the well-being of children, families, and staff at their core.
What about licensing inspections?
OPEN
A parent may review the licensing data for any given facility through an online web portal. Any recent violations should be reviewed by the parent, as the violations often include valuable information about the facility.
Are there specific philosophies in child care?
OPEN
Different daycare programs have different ideas about how a baby should grow. A parent should familiarize themselves with the early childhood learning philosophies a daycare uses before entrusting a child to that facility. Learn more about what makes the Bright Horizons curriculum different in its approach to support early learning and the support Bright Horizons provides to working parents and daycare teachers.
Are lower child to teacher ratios always better?
OPEN
The ideal child to caregiver ratio changes as children grow. An baby needs a lot of attention to thrive, whereas a preschooler needs more freedom to explore. Child-to-teacher ratios may differ from state-to-state.
Are Bright Horizons child care staff trained in CPR and First Aid?
OPEN
All Bright Horizons child care center staff receive ongoing training, including CPR/First Aid and Universal Precautions.
You can feel confident that your child is healthy, safe, and thriving while in our care. Bright Horizons families use the MyBrightDay mobile app daily to get photos, real-time updates on care, learning, and milestones, and to stay up-to-date on important notifications.
How can I compare child care costs?
OPEN
Child care costs will depend upon on your baby’s age when they begin care as well as the center location where you’d like to attend. To get a customized tuition quote for Bright Horizons, we will set up a Zoom or in-person meeting with you to discuss your family’s needs and calculate what tuition would look like for you.

Catchphrases from movies, cartoons, literature
Contents of the article
- Catchphrases from folklore
- Catchphrases from movies
- Catchphrases from literature
In our winged phrases have firmly entered everyday speech.
Using them to the place, we often do not even know the source of their origin. Winged expressions give speech a special expressiveness. Due to the deep meaning hidden in them, we can briefly convey our thoughts to the interlocutor without resorting to long and lengthy discussions. Catch phrases can appear in our speech from fiction and journalistic literature, philosophical works, folklore, from films and cartoons. In addition, we use popular expressions in Russian speech in different languages.
A huge number of catchphrases came to us from the distant past, they reflect historical facts and tell about the culture of our ancestors.
Catch phrases from folklore
- “To fight like a Sidorov’s goat” – to beat or flog someone hard. Among the people, the goat was considered a harmful and stubborn animal, and the name Sidor was associated with an evil person.
- “Breathe incense” – the palm is incensed, in particular, in front of the dead or dying. “Breathing incense” is a sickly-looking person.
- “To distant lands” – this catchphrase came to us from Russian folk tales. Used to mean “very far away”.
- “Shabby look” – the expression appeared in the era of Peter I and came from the name of the merchant Zatrapeznikov, who produced coarse low-quality fabric at his factory. A shabby appearance in a person means slovenliness in clothes.
- “Like water off a goose” – it is known that water easily rolls off the goose plumage. The expression “like water off a duck’s back” is applied to a person who is indifferent to everything, and he endures any difficulties as if they were not there.
- “The horse didn’t roll” – horses have a habit of wallowing before they are put on a collar or saddle. The expression is used in the sense of “work has not yet begun”, “nothing has been done yet.”
- “Blood with milk” – in Rus’, a white face (white color – milk) with a blush (red – blood) was considered a sign of health and beauty. This is what they say about a healthy person.
- “Non-salted slurping” – salt in Rus’ was very expensive. The owner added salt to the food of the guest, depending on the degree of respect for him. Some guests were given unsalted food. Now this expression is used if a person does not achieve the desired result.
- “No fluff, no feather” – with these words they used to see off a person to hunt. It was believed that it was impossible to wish a good hunt directly, otherwise you could frighten off good luck. This is a simple superstition aimed at “deceiving” evil spirits.
- Tongue pip – a pip is a small bump on the tip of the tongue in birds that makes it easier to peck food. An increase in this tubercle is a sign of disease in birds. The person may also develop hard, painful bumps on the tongue. In Rus’, this was considered a sign of deceit. Over time, the meaning of the expression has changed. Now the catchphrase is used in relation to a person who expressed an undesirable thought, predicted something unpleasant.

Teacher: Our language is rich and interesting. Did you know that in Rus’ in the old days the months had their own names. They were closely connected with nature and with all the changes that occur to it during the year. So January in Ancient Rus’ was called “ section “, because already in January people began to prepare for spring field work: they cut down, or “cut”, trees in a forest area selected for future arable land. The felled trees were left to dry in place for about a month, so February was called “dry” or “dry”. He was also called “ fierce ” – after all, the frosts at this time of the year on our land are fierce. In March, the trees dried up in February were burned at the place where they were cut down, and the resulting ash fertilized the land: the month of March received the name “ berezosol “. Spring came in April. Dense forests were dressed with dense green foliage, boundless steppes – with lush grass and bright flowers.
The Slavs gave April the name “ pollen “, and May – “ grass “. Beautiful names! It was then that we switched to the Byzantine calendar.
Teacher: The rich and glorious history of the Russian people is reflected in the Russian language: oral creativity, the great work of Russian writers, and the creative work of the entire Russian people have left their mark on it.
Teacher: “Our language is our sword, our light, our love, our pride,” wrote KG Paustovsky. And N.G. Chernyshevsky said: “It is necessary to study the native language in order to be able to use it to express one’s thoughts”
6 Competition: “Following expressions”
– What are popular expressions?
(Winged expressions – got into our speech from literary sources, brief quotations, figurative expressions. They give our speech special accuracy and expressiveness).
Explain the meaning of these expressions. (each team is given a queue Ao) (fast)
Well done guys! Teacher: Any language is great in its own way, Remember that the native language has absorbed the age-old experience of the people.
(to be deceived)
A priceless legacy.
So take care of your mother tongue,
Like the most precious thing in the world.
