  My husband and I have toured several daycare locations across Raleigh and Cary, and Bright Horizons at Harrison Park far surpassed all the others for infant care. They truly care about the care and safety of children. Not only are the rooms bright, well-spaced, and clean, the leadership staff is extremely responsive to feedback and the teachers pay special attention to your little one. We were so nervous about placing our baby in someone else's care, but Teachers Amel and Zoey have far, far surpassed our already high expectations; they are truly exceptional and I cannot say enough good things about them, as well as the rest of the infant teachers. It is great to drop your child off and not be worried at all. Thank you Bright Horizons at Harrison Park!

  The teachers, the staff, and the families are what make this place so special! Both of our kids had a hard time adjusting to school since they had previously stayed home with me (3 and 1 1/2). However, the teachers’ open communication and genuine care for our children helped them adjust quicker than we thought they would. Every time you step into the building you just feel good knowing your children are there - everyone knows your child by name, the classrooms are set up in a Montessori style, as they reach 2-3 they begin to make choices for themselves, participate in care for the classroom, they build healthy friendships, develop emotional awareness, etc etc etc. We feel indebted to this place for our children’s personal growth. We unfortunately have to move so we pulled them out at 4 and 2. We would’ve kept both until kindergarten if possible. Our family’s favorites are Ms. Kathryn, Ms. Zoe, Ms. Victoria, Ms. India, Ms. Sarah, Mr. Brandon, Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Lavender (also known as Ms-a-lavender via our daughter lol), Ms. Celeste, and Ms. Kamiah. We love Bright Horizons at Harrison Park!

  My wife and I agreed that this Bright Horizon was great and our tour guide Ericka was the best out of all the daycares we visited. She also made us comfortable by answering all of our hard questions… We thank you but by this location being a little too far from our jobs we couldn’t commit

  A Perfect Fit After a Long Search After a brief experience at another daycare where my son needed more individualized attention, we decided to hire a nanny to provide the one-on-one care he required. As he grew and started crawling, it became clear he needed more stimulation and social interaction than we could provide at home. We toured several Bright Horizons locations, but Harrison Park was the only one with availability—and I’m so grateful it worked out this way! Even though it’s out of the way for us, my son genuinely looks forward to going every single day, which tells me everything I need to know. I have to give special recognition to Mrs. Muriel Irvin, who was incredibly patient during our adjustment period. My son didn’t nap at all in those early weeks, which I know couldn’t have been easy, but Mrs. Irvin handled it with such grace and understanding. She provides detailed updates about the different skills and concepts he’s grasping while at school, which gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s not just being watched, but truly nurtured and educated. Harrison Park has been exactly what our family needed, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff’s dedication and Mrs. Irvin’s exceptional care have made all the difference for our son’s development and happiness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  First and foremost, there are some exceptional curriculum coaches and teachers at Harrison park! My son had a wonderful first 2 years. Unfortunately, his 2s experience was less than ideal. He had six teachers in 7 months. My lil dude doesn’t do great with inconsistency due to his autistic older brother and looks to his parents & adult support system to help regulate. Unfortunately, his last teacher and him did not jive. He was anxious and crying on his way to school which was never a thing prior to her entry. The last few months we were at BH the administration recommended an OT for my son. We happily got one because we love OTs ( they have helped my older son evolve a ton). After an evaluation and half an dozen seasons she assured us that my son was typically developing and when she asked the teachers in my son’s class they really didn’t have a lot of examples except that he was having meltdowns. Which is understandable seeing that they didn’t have the bandwidth to give much 1 on 1 attention. So much so that my son tried to escape the room twice / act out for attention. After that they deemed him “ unsafe” and put him on a 90 day suspension. He is 2. We obviously left the school permanently because we felt a) it’s their job to make sure he stays in the classroom 2) I started to get anxious going to school and questioned my parenting 3) they were clearly pushing us out and we both work full time and we can’t have our kid out of school for 3 months. All this to say, bright horizons is a publicly traded company and if you don’t fit the rigid mold they push you out. But it was a blessing because now we have our happy son back and he isn’t spinning out and trying to escape his new school. I share this now 2 months after the incident because I just want to save parents time. If your kid isn’t an angel or may have a difficult situation at home this may not be the place for your family. We found that the administration lacked empathy. Just our experience.
