How a National Child Care Provider Used Remote Viewing to Succeed In-Person Tours

As a business leader, you know that it is important to keep your finger on the pulse of what is going on in your industry. You also know that it is not always possible to be everywhere at once. That is where remote viewing comes in handy. Remote viewing allows you to get a glimpse of what is happening in other parts of the world, without having to leave your office. In this quick 3-minute read, we are going to look at how Bright Horizons®, a national US based child-care provider, used remote viewing to keep growing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stay tuned!

How Remote Viewing Kept Business from Being Interrupted in 2020  

Remote viewing is a research methodology that allows individuals to access information about distant objects or events without the use of conventional sensory channels such as sight, sound, or touch. And it turns out, remote viewing was just the edge Bright Horizons needed to successfully continue growing their business as the rest of the nation pivoted and made new plans to stay afloat. 

The beginning of the pandemic sparked a new goal for Bright Horizons. They sought to develop virtual tours of their centers and found that they would need a national corporate visual capture team that could service all their geographical areas and specific photography needs.

Jody Yeskey, Director of Consumer Marketing for Bright Horizons, reflects on the partnership with Seek Now: “Having professional photos taken of the centers was on the wish list for quite some time. The Seek Now/HouseLens team has been amazing to work with. The photographers have been very professional and knowledgeable and have done a great job capturing what is so special and unique about each center. Choosing a childcare provider is a major decision under normal circumstances never mind when you add a pandemic to the mix. We needed a way for families to safely experience our centers and the virtual tours afforded us that opportunity. Parents could take a self-guided tour from the comfort of their homes and while it doesn’t replace the in-person connection, it was a way to provide some peace of mind and help parents visualize where their little ones would be spending their days.”
