I’ve been taking my son to the center on the days his school is not in session, as it’s one of the backup care providers through my employer. I’m so glad we found it, as it’s simply wonderful! My son is being treated like family here, he loves participating in all the fun and creative activities. The teachers are truly caring and loving, and the director is amazing at running the center and being very involved with the kids, parents, teacher and the daily routine here. I only wish we had found this center earlier so my son would have more time here! Thank you everyone at Lamont-Doherty for making our lives as parents a little easier!

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience since starting my daughter in the toddler room here. Under the incredible direction of Ms. Lauretta, you will find a truly wonderful staff who care deeply about the children and go out of their way to make them comfortable and happy. Ms. Carol and Ms Jen in the toddler room are exceptional. My daughter is happy every time we arrive. It is very much a family experience at the center, after starting my toddler and seeing how great it is, I was quick to enroll my infant as well. Through the app, you are kept updated on your child's every move. I am so happy to see my babies grow and thrive at this great place!!

I came across Bright Horizons Lamont when I was looking for backup childcare. Lamont center far exceeds my expectations. Ms. Sonia, Ms. Ellen in the pre-school room and Ms. Lauretta, the director, are among the most caring and warm teachers we have ever met. My 3-year-old son loves coming here. The center gives kids healthy snacks, has plenty of indoor and outdoor activities and sends carefully written daily reports and tons of pictures!
Despite that we have other backup childcare options in my area, I am so impressed with Lamont that I've decided to drive my son from White Plains to here whenever we have needs.

This place is a hidden gem in the middle of the Palisades. The center has only one class per age group (infants, toddlers, and pre-K), with dedicated staff with tons of experience. Both my children attended the center since infancy and they blossomed thanks to the personalized care and lovable attention from all the teachers.

I went to the center for a visit with my friend we were impressed with the center. The center is surrounded by trees and nature. Parking is available at the center. The center has the highest quality ratings and is accredited by one of the leading early childhood association Naeyc. I highly recommend the center to anyone looking for consistent care in a warm and nurturing environment.
