  If you’re looking for a daycare that is the perfect blend of professionalism and genuine kindness, look no further than Bright Horizons at Fairfield. We’ve had both of our children enrolled here from the infant classrooms all the way through preschool, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Julie and Kate truly run a tight ship! The center is incredibly well-organized, communicative, and thoughtfully managed, but what stands out most is how deeply they care about both the kids and the parents. There’s never any shaming around early drop-offs or late pick-ups, just understanding and support for real-life schedules. This year especially proved how dedicated they are. With all the snowstorms and public schools closing, the center continued to operate effectively whenever it was safe to do so. They consistently go above and beyond to stay open if staff can get there safely, which makes a huge difference for working families. A very special shoutout to Beth, who has been the infant teacher for both of my babies. She is the kindest, sweetest soul and someone I trust completely with my children. She’s been wonderful with Lucile, who loves babies just as much. It’s such a genuine, loving environment, and you can feel that every day. Bianca in the toddler program is an absolute superstar. Toddlers thrive on structure, and she balances kindness with the right amount of assertiveness to create a classroom that feels both nurturing and productive. The preschool team is equally amazing with Jamie (head teacher), Abigail, Emily, and so many others! It’s truly an “all hands on deck” environment where everyone jumps in to support one another and the kids. The collaboration and teamwork are obvious and so appreciated. For the past three years, being greeted by Julie and the teachers every morning has been such a joy. It sets the tone for the day. I feel incredibly lucky that we found Bright Horizons and can send our kids somewhere they are safe, loved, and receiving a top-notch curriculum. The activities and learning opportunities are outstanding, everything from arts & crafts, reading, STEM, physical activities, cultural learning, they’re always finding creative, engaging ways to keep the kids excited about learning. This daycare has truly been an extension of our family. We honestly could not survive without them. As an added bonus, we’ve built lasting friendships with other parents in the community. It’s been a win-win in every way. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough.

  We have sent all 3 of our children to Bright Horizons at Fairfield and have had amazing experience all around. The team from the teachers to the administrators have all been great at preparing our children for school. Any questions or concerns are handled immediately and taken seriously.

  We switched to Bright Horizons after a less positive childcare experience and have been truly grateful every day for the incredible care our children have received there. The kids are outside twice a day, every day and are engaged in phenomenal curriculum everyday doing art and science and baking and music and yoga and on and on. We have also benefitted from the best teachers who are still a part of our lives long after our kids have left their classrooms. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Bright Horizons of Fairfield.

  Both of our children, infant and pre-schooler, are at Bright Horizons in Fairfield. I still remember the first day that I visited, heavily pregnant with our first, and wanting to sign up on the dot. Was taken away by the passion for care for young children, the educational culture, the cleanliness, the structure; all the ingredients that make you feel it’s the right environment for your child to grow up in. Almost 4 years later, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, our second child is in Bright Horizons care at Fairfield. I honestly don’t think I would trust any other center with the care of our children. The teachers are just phenomenal, the procedures in place during these awkward times so reassuring, and leadership, admirable how they have navigated through the past months, continuing to lead with care, passion for education and a deep love for children. I have said it multiple times in different forums, we truly love you and feel you are part of our family as much as our kids are part of yours.

  Wonderful environment for young children. The teachers here take pride in their work and provide quality learning activities that are age appropriate for kids in their care. The directors Will and Jaime are very kind and work with parents to ensure their getting their needs met when it comes to being happy that their child is receiving the best education and care. I love how this center has plenty of family fun events throughout the year too.
