Our family has been attending Bright Horizons West 72nd Street for about four years. We've had at least one child in each class from infant through 4K, and the teachers at each level are wonderful. Recently, the current leadership and staff at the center have fostered the warmest, kindest, and most competent school environment we have experienced. The center has kept an open dialogue with us about any concerns they or we may have, and the entire staff across every classroom works together to foster the growth and development of each child. We are especially grateful to the extraordinary toddler team that is currently in place. Any toddler classroom can be difficult to manage given the wide array of needs among 12-to-24-month-olds. The current toddler teaching team makes magic happen in their classroom. Every time we walk into the room--no matter what part of the day--the environment is calm, playful, and caring. The classroom has a peaceful feeling unlike any other toddler class we have encountered. The teachers clearly respect and like each other, and they care deeply about the children in their care. As a result, our child is always happy to start the day at dropoff and warmly waives goodbye to each teacher before leaving at pickup. Throughout the day the teachers keep the app updated with information and pictures, and each day at pickup, they give us a detailed update about how our child handled each part of the day, including meals, naptime, and playtime. Thanks to the focused and patient work of the toddler teaching team, our child has flourished in that classroom both in physical and verbal skills. We highly recommend this center, which has been a kind and supportive environment for our children.

We’ve been at Bright Horizons on 72nd for almost 3 years now and it’s been fantastic. From the staff to the curriculum, our child has grown so much there - all thanks to them. Whenever we pick up our daughter she says, “I want to come back another day!”

With two kids at the center we have always felt confident in their care. We are very impressed with how much our three year old has learned during her time at BH, and all teachers have openly communicated with us, even when we can’t physically go into the school during the pandemic.
