    Rated 5/5 stars, because I couldn't figure out how to rate 6/5 stars. Our time at Bright Horizons on the Charles has been an incredible experience. The teachers are very professional, but also a ton of fun for our child. They do countless activities every day that are not just entertaining but that nurture growth, learning and development. The administrators make this center a community both with warm welcomes when we walk in as well as awesome extracurricular events for the whole family. The only reason we're leaving BHOTC is because we're moving, but believe me- I would pack up the entire center and bring it with me if I could.

    Our toddler attending BH for couple of months now, and I must admit that his curriculum is much more advanced than the one I had in my Batchelor degree... The staff are all great loving people and we truly happy with all they're doing for our little human.

    Our little one has been with Bright Horizons since he was 5 months old (he's now 2). We have been so happy with the outstanding care he has received, and for the warm environment. He learns a ton every day, and is really happy there. We vetted several centers, and couldn't be more satisfied!

    We have been a BHOTC family for almost 3 years now and wouldn't go to another center. They work so well with our family, helping to support our schedule, give advice and guidance on learning and behaviors. The atmosphere is fun and educational and my kids LOVE going to school there. The pictures from their playground are my favorite every day! I know my children are in the best of hands with their teachers and administrative staff. Can't say enough great things!
