Due to limited space at another local daycare, we had one of our children elsewhere, and one of our children here. It's not often that families have the opportunity to directly compare childcare centers simultaneously but we have decided to put both of our kids in care at Bright Horizons Mercer Island because of the following:
1) They are diligently screening for COVID-19 every day at drop off and have very detailed protocols regarding exclusion criteria and safety measures taken to minimize spread of COVID-19
2) The intake staff wears full PPE to prevent the classroom runner from spreading or contracting COVID-19 to the best of their ability
3) The employees are always masked when I've seen them
4) Our child is legitimately happy to arrive in the morning and to leave at the end of the day
5) The staff is always cheerful when they greet the families, and obviously love the kiddos
6) I can tell the families are happy because they hang out and chat in the parking lot amongst themselves after pickup. The facility seems to be building a community.
7) They have an app that allows for communication from teachers to parents, including pictures as well

We have enrolled our 2 year old for more than 1 yr now and we love his teacher MissCone (ZBEST) but couple of things i am not happy about is
1) toddler class nor infant class socket outlets are not secure, a week ago i saw one kid playing with a stick against the socket outlet and told the teacher. Even i let the administrator know they need to secure the outlets because i was pretty much surprised that's it's now.
2) Price keep increasing every year.
3) Expect your kid to have a dry noisy all day , i am not sure why but this happen every time my son got cold i find his morning sneeze dried on his face when i pick him up. LITERALLY.
other than this school seem pretty cool, kid loves his teacher so it makes my life easy.

My son transitioned to Bright Horizons when he was 12-months old. Our old place was ok, but I constantly questioned if daycare was the right decision for our family. After we came here, we haven't had a second thought that this is the best place he can be. Every single person at the Mercer Island location is exceptional (his teachers, the directors, and the admin). It always takes a very long time for us to leave, because my 14-month son wants to say bye/give hugs/smiles to all the staff on his way out. It's clear that he's formed a great relationship with everyone there, and I think it's indicative of the great environment this daycare creates.
