We had a great experience at this Bright Horizons location! Across our two kids we had the experience of each classroom/ age group and we’ve seen the love and care our kids get with each teacher. The fellow kids and their families have become dear friends and the teachers have been such valuable partners to how we are raising our kids. Miss Tammy has really fostered a wonderful community with the families and the teachers and we’ve seen our kids grow so much with Miss Sarah, Miss McKenzie and Miss Salina.

Our family truly appreciates Ms.Salina, Ms.Tammy and everyone here. They have been incredibly kind and supportive to both our non-native child and us as parents.
The daily curriculum and activities are thoughtfully designed, and since my child enjoys them and loves the teachers and friends, happily he shares stories about preschool every day. Through talking about his daily experiences at home, his English speaking has naturally increased.
Without a doubt, choosing this preschool was the best decision for our family.

My grandson comes to visit for the summers and this summer, Bright Horizons has truly been a blessing to him and our family. My grandson has learned so much in preschool from learning how to write his name, building social skills, participating in experiments...you name it, he has done it! The STEM program is exceptional here and I am so glad we chose this school. The meals are great and the environment is clean and safe. Thank you to Ms. Tammy, Ms. Salina, and his other teachers...my son and I truly appreciate you and Yakeim will miss everyone!

We needed backup care in a pinch and Bright Horizons at Lakeshore East welcomed us like family. The teachers supported our daughter as she transitioned to the center, and all the staff learned our names and treated us with warmth and kindness. Our daughter loved it so much we decided to stay for full time care.
We are so appreciative of the staff and teachers. They are very positive, communicative, and creative in their lesson planning.
