  One of my best parenting decisions has been to send my 2.5 year old to the Jim Greenman Center. Not a week goes by that I'm not amazed at how much she has grown and developed thanks to her loving and attentive teachers. Through daily conversations and structured parent-teacher conferences, the teachers and directors have gotten to know our family, what we value, and what skills we're working on. I'm fairly certain they're more diligent with potty training than we are (for example!). Amazingly, they taught our toddler self-help and coping skills: she can put her clothes on by herself and takes deep breathes to calm herself down when shes having big emotions. We did not teach her any of those things. The difference really shows when we're with friends who have similarly aged children. Our daughter is able to serve and feed herself, plays well with other children, helps clean up messes, and so many other beyond-her-years skills. I am so thankful for the village of caregivers we have and all they have done to love, support, and help us raise such an amazing little person.

  The best day care center (we've been here 4 years). Teachers are kind, loving and enable curiosity. And there’s less turnover than the average. Administration is organized, patient and attentive. They rarely close which is a life saver for working parents. They build community across families with events. Truly a child-first center that we cannot recommend enough.

  My children have attended the Jim Greenman center for several years. The facility is beautiful and the teachers truly care about every single child. My daughter was fully prepped for kindergarten and is reading above grade level. Great experience for our family!

  Our toddler daughter has been at Bright Horizons for a short time, but in just a few months, our experience has been nothing short of amazing. We had to make an urgent childcare change this winter, and the entire team handled our transition seamlessly. We’re so grateful to Rose and Shauna for managing everything on the administrative side and getting our family onboarded so smoothly. Our daughter has truly blossomed in her new school. She’s engaged, happy, and becoming a little social butterfly. The biggest sign for us? She doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. Her primary teachers, Alejandra and Kayla, are exceptional, as are the other teachers she interacts with daily. We especially love the structured curriculum, family-style meals, and the incredible outdoor space. We’re so happy we made the switch and can’t wait to see how our daughter continues to thrive and grow here.
