Bright Horizons Fairfield has been an incredible place for our two boys (toddler & kprep classes) after relocating from another BH location 8 months ago. The care and effort from the leadership team is unmatched — from the big things to the small moments, like letting my 5 yr old “help out at the front desk” when he’s not quite ready to join class yet. The teachers are loving, supportive, and truly professional, with high-quality educators in every classroom. The curriculum is engaging and well thought out, and it’s amazing to see how much learning and growth happens each week. I am confident my 5 year old is ready for Kindergarten because of this program. I love the regular updates and photos through the app, which keep me connected to their day. The outdoor opportunities, like gardening and easy playground access, give the kids fresh air and hands-on experiences. Our only wish is that we joined the BH Fairfield community sooner!

We have been at Bright Horizons for over 3 years now. We have a Toddler and a Pre-schooler attending. There is no other center that we trust more to take care of the two most important people in our lives. The teachers have become family to us as the quality of care is unmatched. They are so creative to develop curriculum that is engaging and fun all while teaching the children. Both of our boys learned sign language in the infant program and were doing art projects within their first month attending. And when our youngest son moved up to Toddler, they had a "moving up ceremony" complete with cap and gown. The toddler program was/is very engaging for our very energetic boys. They had theme weeks about space, marine life and zoo animals. The preschool program, which our son begin during the pandemic, is amazing. They do experiments every week inside and outside, challenging the children to express opinions. For Election Day, they set up a voting booth for the class to vote on favorite farm animals and each child made an "I Voted" badge. Extremely creative.
Our boys love their teachers. And we don't say that lightly. They are so happy when they see their teachers in the morning. Our pre-schooler still talks about his infant and toddler teachers. He loves and RESPECTS his pre-school teacher, often talking about them at nighttime.
We were nervous, like everyone else to go back after the COVID lockdown. However, there are extensive protocols that quickly made us feel safe. They are constantly communicating with parents so we feel comfortable if there are any changes to protocols. Seeing the smile on our boys faces and realizing how much stimulation and socialization skills they are getting means everything to us.
Bright Horizons is not a daycare center. It truly is an early childhood development center. The teachers AND ADMINISTRATION are like family and care very much about the children entrusted in their care. We could not be happier!

We switched to Bright Horizons after a less positive childcare experience and have been truly grateful every day for the incredible care our children have received there. The kids are outside twice a day, every day and are engaged in phenomenal curriculum everyday doing art and science and baking and music and yoga and on and on. We have also benefitted from the best teachers who are still a part of our lives long after our kids have left their classrooms. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Bright Horizons of Fairfield.
