- ALAndrew LaubscherOct 29, 20205.0All the teachers and staff seemed to really love and care about our child. Communication was great, both regular (daily updates, pictures) and whenever special circumstances arose. If Bright Horizons works for your schedule and budget we highly recommend the Mass Ave center.
- KDKristina DanahyOct 28, 20205.0Our son went to Bright Horizons Mass Ave since he was six months old, going through Infants, Toddlers, Preschool, and finally Kindergarten Prep until he started public school. His sister attended from 3 months to 2.5 years old There is full- and part-time enrollment (based on # hours per day or days per week). We chose it because we can walk there from home, it has multiple age level programs, and it's within walking distance of my husband's job (which made commuting much easier and allowed us to remain a one-car family). I teach in Boston Public Schools, so the potential to go 7-6 was also a big draw for me (in case my husband travels, I could shift the hours we go to 7-4 rather than 8-5, or buy extra hours). The family daycares located near us (Somerville, North Cambridge) or my husband's work (Medford) would open much too late for me to make it to school on time in the morning, and many aren't walking distance from us. Another big plus--it rarely closes! Apart from the convenience for our family schedules, we felt that the quality of care and kindness of the staff have been phenomenal. I love the emphasis on play-based learning, socioemotional skills, and empathy. No fill-in-the-blank worksheets or drill-and-kill here! Like others, we have had teachers babysit, and both kids adore them. We were sad to leave, but only did so that we could have their pickups/dropoffs near each other. Both kids cherish their journals and love "reading" them. It is pricey, but it was worth it to us not to have to scramble for aftercare (for a shorter day) or backup care (with closures).
- JSJosh SilversteinAug 18, 20205.0My wife and I's infant son just enrolled at BH Mass Ave this past month (August 2020), and we could not be happier with the love, care and attention he has received from his two teachers, Jasmine and Madina. Even though Bright Horizons is a big publicly traded company, the atmosphere at this center is warm and personal, and anything but corporate. I was a little apprehensive about sending him to daycare in light of COVID, but the center's administrative team really put me at ease. They have displayed impressive knowledge of and compliance with the state's health rules and regulations. And, they have seamlessly implemented Bright Horizons' companywide rules, which I've come to learn are even more stringent in many cases.
