Our son has been here for the better portion of a year and has received exceptional care. The caregivers and leadership have been very personable to our family. He seems to be socializing super well and always gets picked up in high spirits. They send lots of reports and photos during the day. Assuming you are able to get in, I’d highly recommend this daycare

We recently tried Bright Horizons Braker Lane for our 6 months old, and I just want to share what we went through in case it helps another family.
Within the first week, our baby came home sick multiple times. It didn’t surprise me, because I saw how toys went straight from one baby’s mouth to another without being cleaned....multiple times in two weeks.
Hygiene felt like an afterthought. As even members were going in the class with uncovered shoes on.
What really broke us, though, was how little comfort our daughter got when she cried. She cried so hard at daycare that by the time we picked her up, she was still sobbing, and it continued for hours at home. Teachers didn’t seem to soothe her, and instead sometimes tried to force feed her while she was crying, which felt unsafe and honestly heartbreaking.
I know every childcare center has germs and tough adjustment periods, but this felt like neglect of the basics: clean toys, gentle care, and comfort for babies. We pulled her out within days.
Just sharing our experience so other parents can make the best decision for their little ones.
May be not that bad for toddlers, but do your due diligence for Infants. I wish I had read reviews from other parents before enrolling.

Updating my review now that my daughter has been at BH on Braker for over a year.
We’ve had an amazing experience at this daycare from the infant classroom since my daughter was 7 months with Ms.Qaisar to her current classroom with Toddlers with Ms.Crystal and Ms.Nicole. There was a period of time where there was teacher turnover, but every teacher we’ve had we’ve loved and genuinely felt that they loved our little girl. The center Director Michelle and assistant Director Lily are both engaged with every child and know each of their names (kids I don’t know or see regularly) and help out in each of the classrooms when needed. I get informative and timely emails from them on the latest activities as well as things like the water ban recently in Austin where the center laid out their exact plans for handling each circumstance and made me feel at peace.
We were initially wanting to send our daughter to another program before we found BH and we’re so thankful we ended up here. The cost being higher is made up by covering lunch and snacks for the kids and us not having to worry about packing food each day, thanks Mr. Juan! Also agree with other parents that I love the app! Wish it were updated more in real-time but understand the teachers are handling toddlers after all. Thank you everyone at BH Braker Lane, keep up the good work 👍🏼
