  Our Son Spent a bit more than 1 year here. He was unconditionally loved and accepted despite his active nature. The staff helped him control emotions, and we worked together as a team to prioritize his well being. Special thanks to Stephanie, miss Karol, miss Liz! Luan already misses y'all !

  If you looking for a high quality child care with immense love and affection- The academy at bright horizons is the place for your kids to be. My son was at the Academy for almost 3 years before he started elementary school and those were the most loving and formative years that i can ask for. The teachers are extremely loving and knowledgeable and a lot of fun based learning prepares your child for the life ahead. In the last 3 years my son enjoyed every single day at the academy and still misses the school very much. The parents teacher interaction is great as well and the teachers follow through with any recommendations that is suggested by the parents. I’m an extremely busy parent and the staff at academy always welcomed me with open arms and a lot of appreciation as we worked together towards a common goals of providing quality education and exposure in the most loving and rewarding manner.

  Our daughter started at The Academy in Dec 2019, then the pandemic hit. Our daughter returned to school March 2021, we were nervous because of covid but the school has proper protocols/guidelines to keep the children and staff safe. Daily covid questionnaire, temperature checks, masks, frequent hand washing. We were also worried about her transition back to school because it takes her a while to get used to new situations/people. The Academy welcomed her with open arms and made her feel comfortable/safe. The Director, Ms. Kara, is professional, very responsive, organized, detail-oriented, kind and caring. The school is run extremely well and it's because of Ms. Kara and her staff. The program, teachers, and staff are all outstanding - they truly care about each and every child. Everyone goes above and beyond to keep the children engaged with fun activities and they make every day feel special. Arts, crafts, exercise, reading, puzzles, and gardening. We were able to keep track of her day through an app. We were able to see how she did with her snack, what she did throughout the day, and we loved seeing photos of her at school. We moved June 2021, we are so sad that our daughter had to leave such a wonderful, nurturing school, and the special connections she's made with the entire staff and her classmates. We are currently struggling with finding a school for our daughter in our new area. We WISH there was an Academy Bright Horizons in our new area. We already miss everyone terribly!

  We love this school as my son has been going since he was almost 3 years old. Kara is professional, wonderful, kind and helpful. The teachers and staff are the best I have seen and truly care for each student. My son is very advanced for his age with help from the teachers and academic program at this institution. With Covid being such a concern, they took all the precautions and I feel my son is extremely safe. Having that piece of mind when I drop him off is so important. Highly recommend this school!
