Of course, none of this would be possible without the passion and dedication of our team of professionals. For this reason, we were extremely honored to be named one of FORTUNE magazine's '100 Best Companies to Work for in America' for the 7th time and are proud to be in the company of such forward-thinking employers, including more than 30 of our own clients. This honor marks a fitting start to 2006, which Bright Horizons has designated as 'The Year of the Teacher.' During the year, we will be focusing attention on early educators around the world and the important contributions they make through their commitment to children, and their families, during the most formative years of their lives. As an industry leader, we are committed to raising the bar for standards of high-quality child care and education through professional opportunities and lifetime learning for teachers.
