    Our smush is 7 months and has been in the infant 2 classroom for about three months. She loves Ms Olivia and Ms Kiara. She gives them big smiles every morning when she sees them. I’ve been so impressed with the curriculum. Our baby paints it seems like every day, plays with water trays, has storytime, plays with sticky paper, you name it. You can tell they really try to engage the kids throughout the day. They’ve taught our baby how to hold a spoon, how to like a pacifier (lol), and even how to fall asleep on her own! The center is lovely and Andi and Joe at the front are great as well. We also love the other teachers; ms Shayla ms vivi ms Heather mr Harry etc. the photo updates each day bring us so much joy ! And the app is also really well made.

    Our daughter previously attended Bright Horizons University City for a couple of years, and our son recently joined the preschool program after transferring from another school. From day one, he’s absolutely loved it. He is excited to go to school every morning and when we pick him up he always tells us, “I love my new school.” We are incredibly grateful to his teachers for being so warm, welcoming, and supportive to both him and our family.

    My son has been going for a year (started at 6 months) and loves it. I feel very comfortable dropping him off every day. He loves his teachers and friends at Bright Horizons. Everyone is very communicative and let's me know where he's having trouble. They have so many activities and things they are learning every day.

    Our son has being attending Bright Horizons UC for about 1.5 years and we have had an overall wonderful experience. The new leadership team is working tirelessly to not only keep up with the demands of an expanding population but also consistently providing events and fun opportunities for all of the children to participate in and learn from. 100% recommend!
