My husband and I feared the day we had to send our kids to daycare/preschool but bright horizons has truly managed to put all fears to rest. They have an extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. The classrooms are very welcoming and so far we have nothing but great things to say about the center and the kindergarten prep program. We know we made the right decision putting our son in this program. He is happy and doing well and we appreciate all the great lines of open communication we have with the teachers during the day. The effort and level of care is truly amazing!

Our daughter started in the infant program a few months ago, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Mrs. Amira and Mrs. Cindy are so warm and welcoming — our daughter absolutely loves them and it’s clear she’s being well cared for. It’s always hard to leave your baby with someone else, but the frequent pictures and updates through the app make us feel like we’re part of her day even when we’re not there. We actually drive 25 minutes each way to come here, but it’s absolutely worth it. We highly recommend the infant program there!

My son was one year 5 months when we started at Bright Horizons. We were very nervous about day care but my son's teachers made the transition very smooth. They keep me updated as much as they can throughout the day with photos and memos. The teachers are attentive and often at pick up give me little tidbits of my sons day. I would highly recommend BH to anyone who is considering child care.

I would never consider another place of care for my daughter. She started here when she was 1 year and 4 months and I did a ton of research into different daycares in the area and this by far was the best and continues to be so. I feel at ease during the day with their daily updates and photos on the app. They send out their curriculum plan weekly and review what they went over each day. They have an amazing playground and outdoor activities and I can tell that everyone who works there loves what they do, loves their students and takes pride in their work. They also make sure their facility is SAFE. I sing their praises to anyone I meet looking for care for their kids. Truly, have never had a bad feeling or bad experience when dropping off or picking up my daughter.
