  Serious safety concern at Bright Horizon. We have been with Bright Horizons for a little over two years, specifically at the Interlocken location. Our son is 2.5 years old. Until now, aside from a few minor issues, our experience had been fine. That changed yesterday. After picking our son up after nine hours at school, we discovered he was still wearing the same diaper we put him in that morning. The diaper was extremely heavy, ripped, and visibly disintegrating, with white material coming out and covering his legs. We knew immediately it was the same diaper because we use pull-ups at home and send regular diapers to school, per the school’s request. This was a pull-up, meaning it had been on him all day. We checked the daycare app to confirm diaper changes. Nothing was logged. The only diaper change recorded was the one we did that morning. Our child went an entire school day without a single diaper change. We escalated this to site leadership and higher leadership. We were told an HR investigation would be opened. However, this location is scheduled to close in two days, which makes it clear there will be no meaningful accountability for what happened. We immediately decided not to bring our child back. Bright Horizons offered only a two-day refund. When my husband asked leadership whether they would feel comfortable sending their own child back after this incident, the answer was yes. That response is what concerns us most. This situation, and the response to it, came from higher leadership, not just a single classroom or staff member. If leadership believes this is acceptable, it raises serious concerns about the standards being upheld and what behavior is allowed to continue. Leaving a toddler in the same diaper for nine hours is not a minor oversight. It is a basic care failure. I am sharing this to warn other parents. Please ask questions and trust your instincts.

  Our family's first visit to Montessori on the Mall was last week, and we had an excellent experience. The space is beautiful, clean, secure, and much larger than expected. We traded several emails with the teachers and administration beforehand, and they were responsive, professional, and helpful. Transitions for toddlers can be tough, and they made it so easy. Most importantly, our 3 year old daughter loved it and she was excited to go back for day 2. The teachers were so wonderful. Impressed all around! Would recommend to anyone.

  I absolutely love sending my toddler to Bright Horizons Montessori on the Mall. The school has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Every teacher is experienced, compassionate, and kind to our family. It brings me so much joy to see how excited my toddler gets to go to school each morning.
