My husband and I absolutely loved our experience here. We put our baby into daycare when she was 5 months old and everyone helped us with this big transition and treated our baby so well. It felt like a big loving community everyday when we dropped her off and picked her up. They also were very understanding with all of my calls and pop ins in the beginning when I was nervous to leave her. We could tell our baby was so well loved and that the directors, teachers, and all support staff were passionate about caring for children. They go above and beyond here. When our baby was having a hard time napping at daycare the director Michelle would often times hold her in her arms for her nap. We were so appreciative to the whole staff and we were so sad to leave. We didn’t live nearby and so that was the only reason we changed locations. Our daughter loved it here and was clear she loved everyone taking care of her. We would highly recommend them to anyone! Especially first time parents!

I strongly suggest that other parents do their research before enrolling here. We enrolled our 5-month-old child in the infant program at Bright Horizons. Shortly after enrollment, the center’s license was suspended due to an incident involving a child abuse arrest, which required us to temporarily relocate our child to another facility.
We decided to return to Bright Horizons because we had a positive experience with our child’s teacher. Unfortunately, within the first few weeks of rejoining, that teacher resigned unexpectedly, citing management issues. Despite these concerns, we chose to remain with the center to provide our child with consistency and a familiar environment.
However, approximately one month later, we received a call on a Saturday afternoon from the Regional Director informing us that the infant program would be permanently closed effective the following Monday. No alternative arrangements or options at the same location were offered.
This experience has left us deeply disappointed. The organization’s actions reflect a lack of consideration for the well-being of the children and demonstrate management’s failure to prioritize the families they serve.

Our daughter was at Bright Horizons from 5 months until she was almost 2 years old. The infant and toddler classes were both wonderful! We were a little worried about how she would adapt with starting daycare, but everyone at Bright Horizons was wonderful and made it a great transition! She was always happy, well cared for, and had amazing bonds with the teachers and her classmates. My wife and I feel like our child has gained so much from their experiences, and she always came home singing songs and talking about her friends and teachers. Alyssa and Karyn were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and we would highly recommend this center to anyone in the area!
