  My daughter has attended Bright Horizons Ecolab for 3 years. She absolutely loves going to school each day. Her teachers have all been warm and supportive. They make my child feel safe and well-loved while she is there! Each classroom has been a unique experience, but they have all been perfectly matched to her developmental milestones. She has grown so much academically, but also socially. They work on academics, managing emotions, and on life-skills. The directors are supportive and always available to answer questions. They know each child personally and are involved in the classrooms on a regular basis. The other attending families are so kind and welcoming. Bright Horizons has become a second home for us. Choosing this school was the best decision for my family. My daughter is happy, well cared for, and growing leaps and bounds in her education.

  We absolutely LOVE Bright Horizons Ecolab. Our 2 yr old has been here for almost 2yrs now and our 4yr old son attends as a drop in and during the summer for the preschool summer camp! (They do have preschool and pre-k but he attends district preschool for his speech therapy and OT services) Lauren and Alyssa are just amazing and it shows everywhere in the center. Everyone is knowledgeable about curriculum and events. All of the teachers seem to know every child in every room and I truly feel like they love all the children like their own. Communication is top tier. You always know exactly what is happening day to day from toileting, to feeding, to arts/crafts, stem, mindfulness and recess. I have noticed their turnover rate must be extremely low as all of the teachers we started with are still here. My son went through 6 teachers in less than a year at his old daycare. The teachers at BH Ecolab are the best as well! They deal with my son’s social/emotional delays flawlessly and never make us feel like he is a burden. Our 2yr old daughter is very picky about other people but she took to the staff at Bright Horizons immediately! That’s how good they are! For our family BH at Ecolab is the best thing that has ever happened to us. We have no family in this state so we have to rely heavily on outside help to fill the village void in our lives. BH has gone above and beyond that for us. We had given up on finding a diverse atmosphere in Naperville to raise our children but we got to BH and found exactly that! They have staff from all walks of life and different backgrounds and it’s truly the best feeling to have teachers for our kids that also look like them. During summer our son was so excited he also got to experience having a male teacher for the first time. So, if you are looking for a center with great pricing, reliable trustworthy care, open communication, diversity, great leadership, low turnover, minimal school closing days and host lots of events throughout the year to socialize as families, Bright Horizons @ Ecolab is a must!

  Our daughter has now been attending Bright Horizons at Ecolab Early Education and Preschool for a month, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. From day one, Lauren Ruka, the Center Director, has set the tone for the warm, nurturing, and professional environment that makes this center so special. Her leadership shines through in every classroom and interaction — you can feel the care and positivity the moment you walk through the doors. Starting daycare can be a big adjustment for little ones (and parents, too!), but Lauren and her incredible team handled every step of the transition with such patience and compassion. What were once tearful drop-offs are now effortless goodbyes — and the funny part is that pick-ups have become the challenge, because Layla often doesn’t want to leave! She’s always eager to finish coloring, keep playing, or spend more time with her new friends — a true testament to how safe and happy she feels at Bright Horizons. This first month has been packed with wonderful, engaging activities. From Family Fall Fest — complete with a petting zoo featuring goats and even a cow — to picture day, to the exciting STEM Fest full of hands-on learning, the center consistently creates enriching experiences that make learning feel like pure joy. Layla has come home buzzing with stories, songs, and new skills after every event. It’s clear that the staff put so much thought and creativity into making each day special for the children. At home, we’ve seen such a wonderful transformation. Layla is thriving — singing new songs, using new words, and showing off everything she’s learned. She’s curious, expressive, and full of joy. It’s been amazing to watch her confidence and communication blossom in such a short time. As a military family, we’re especially grateful for how gracefully Lauren guided us through the Child Care Aware® of America military fee assistance program. The process came with its share of trial and error — navigating documents, eligibility steps, and timing — but Lauren’s patience, professionalism, and persistence made all the difference. She communicated clearly, followed up promptly, and ensured every detail was handled correctly. Her support took what could have been a stressful process and turned it into one we felt fully guided through. We’re endlessly thankful to Lauren and the entire Bright Horizons at Ecolab team for creating a place where children don’t just learn — they flourish. Layla’s excitement for school each day says it all, and that peace of mind as parents is priceless. - The Wiley Family

  Ecolab Bright Horizon has truly been an amazing daycare experience for our family. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we felt like we were joining a supportive, caring community. We have been consistently impressed by the nurturing environment and the high-quality programs you offer. The staff's genuine affection and commitment to each child's well-being are truly commendable. The staff at Bright Horizon quickly became an extension of our own family, providing the love, care, and attention that we wanted for our daughter. We never once worried about her safety or well-being while she was there because we knew she was in trustworthy hands. The Director, assistant director, and teachers are incredibly nurturing, always going above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe, happy, and loved. Our daughter thrived in this environment, and we are so grateful to the entire Bright Horizon team for giving us the peace of mind that she was not just cared for, but truly cherished. We wholeheartedly recommend Ecolab Bright Horizon to any family looking for a daycare that feels like home.

  Our family love this daycare so much! We joined the center in 2022 right after it reopened after Covid. My son is in preschool and my little girl was first in infant class and now transit to the toddler class. We love all the classrooms and every teachers we’ve met! The center are so well designed, clean and bright. Kids love the big hall way area as they can do art and fun projects there. Also my kids talks about “the movement matters” room a lot where they can do fun indoor activities and sometimes yoga! This is so helpful during bad weather days. The center director Lauren and Alyssa along with all teachers we met are sooooo fantastic, creating a warm and nurturing environment for my child. You’ll always feel welcome every morning by their big and friendly smile and greetings as you walked in! Their dedication to the well-being of each child is commendable, and their open communication ensures parents are always in the loop. Also I appreciate the thoughtful activities that engage and educate my little one. We wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent for its caring staff and positive atmosphere.
