- NGNegar GhassemiehNov 6, 20255.0We highly recommend this Bright Horizons location. Our son was enrolled here for the first time over the summer, and we also used the facility through my employer’s backup care program. The center is clean, calm, with wonderful teachers and caregivers. Our son was in Ms. Robin’s class, and we couldn’t have been happier — he learned so much, made many friends in a short time, and adapted to the new environment remarkably quickly. They provide nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day with a nice variety, and the kids enjoy plenty of outdoor time. Although the main playground is currently under construction due to nearby development, the team has arranged a temporary play area that still allows for outdoor activities. Overall, we’ve had an excellent experience and would strongly recommend this Bright Horizons location to families looking for an easy, positive transition. We definitely plan to re-enroll our son next summer and continue using this center for backup care when needed.
- NPNatalia PAug 25, 20255.0This center has become such a special place for our family. From the very beginning, my child was surrounded with incredible love and attention. Every teacher here truly puts their heart and soul into their work: Ms. Robin, Ms. Sandrine, Ms. Beth, Ms. Zahra, and many others. Thank you! After moving from another area, we had to adjust to many new circumstances, but here we always felt confident and reassured, knowing our child was safe and cared for, which allowed us to work without worry. A special thank you to Ms. Steele for her leadership in maintaining such high standards and ensuring the center runs so smoothly. The facility itself is beautiful, very clean, and modern, filled with natural light thanks to many large windows that make it bright and cheerful. The center also provides healthy meal options, something that is hard to find in other places, and daily photo reports. Over time, we’ve faced storms, snow, and even floods in the neighborhood, but the center was always prepared and ready to welcome the children. That reliability and dedication meant the world to us. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend this center to any family. Dear teachers and staff, we will miss you! Avrora and family
- SPSelin PenezJul 29, 20255.0We are so grateful for Miss Robin!Thanks to her, our son has developed a love for listening to books. She has created such a warm and welcoming environment that my son looks forward to going to preschool every day. Her positive energy, kindness, and patience truly make a difference. We feel so lucky to have her as his teacher! If you’re looking for a great preschool teacher, we think you’ve found her right here! 😊 We’d also like to thank Linda and Jemmael. They are always so helpful and quick to answer any questions we have about the center. It really means a lot to feel so supported as parents. We feel very lucky to be part of this community!
- RBRachael BenderJan 6, 20215.0Bright Horizons at Democracy Center provides wonderful care and we absolutely recommend them. Our family came to Democracy Center from another Bright Horizons location, so we expected a continuation of the excellent curriculum and supportive environment we previously experienced. We have been so happy with the transition. The teachers are energetic, nurturing, and professional. They are also very communicative, even during COVID when the numerous safety protocols don’t allow parents into the classrooms. We have seen such growth in our children as they have social interaction, developmental activities, and lots of time to play at the center. Our children love going to their classrooms every day! We also appreciate the administrative staff’s willingness to listen to parent feedback and provide timely updates for individual classrooms and the center as a whole. Bright Horizons at Democracy Center provides outstanding childcare while fostering development and learning.
