    My baby started daycare at 6 months, and we learned something new about her: she is incredibly strong-willed. She was the baby who would go 7 hours without sleeping or drinking milk. No tears, minor fussing, just playing, observing, or chilling all day long. She is now 8 months old. And I have to say, I am grateful for the team in her classroom. They have worked with my family, with compassion and care, advising and aiding all along this journey. My baby is well taken care of, well loved, and happy in her class. She still doesn't nap and doesn't take milk well so she's basically there half-day (my fault, I wanted to gently work on this and I have flexibility at work to accommodate this), but she smiles, she sits and eats, she socializes. Is it pricey to send her there for half a day? Absolutely. Do I wish there was a half day tuition option in the interim? Definitely. Yet, I still think it's worth every penny to ensure she has the best care that she is certainly receiving right now.

    We’ve been with the center since 2018 and have had our 2 boys here in all class levels. We’ve always been very happy and especially love the low level of staff turnover. My preschooler has the same teacher that my now 1st grader had when he was that age. The teachers do a great job of engaging the children, encouraging independence, communicating with parents, and ultimately preparing the kids for kindergarten!

    We have had a great experience. Pricy, but great staff, clean classrooms, and easier mornings with breakfast and lunch provided. I’ve had two happy kids go through the center.

    Bright Horizons Northbrook has very friendly staff that exceed expectations in terms of communication with parents. The curriculum is very stimulating and we feel confident that our child will be very well prepared for Kindergarten. There are always several activities going on in the classroom with little repetition. The teachers excel at drawing out the best ideas and curiosity from the children. They excel at conflict resolution and ensuring all the children are happy and having fun. The facility is very clean, which is also a plus. The meal options and preparation are also very impressive.
