The World at Their Fingertips program for learning for Bright Horizons is a comprehensive, integrated program based on understandings developed through the work of Jean Piaget, Erik Erickson, Lev Vygotsky, and other leading developmental theorists and educators, who emphasize the importance of active learning, language, and the need to extend beyond the artificial separation of learning and caring. The World at Their Fingertips creates developmentally appropriate learning environments in which each child learns what the world is like, how it works, and what he/she is capable of within it.

World consists of developmentally based programs for each age group. There are also elements that emphasize a content area, like Language Works, Math Counts, Science Rocks, Projections, ArtSmart, and Our World that cross all age groups.
