Bright Horizons at U of U Research Park

My son attended Bright Horizons at Research Park from the time he was 3 months until he left for Kindergarten. He was very prepared for Kindergarten. He loved coming to school and loved his teachers. They were very caring and great at communicating any needs and how he was doing. I loved the family feel every time I came in. I am so glad I decided to bring him to this center. We have gained a family for life.

This center is a community staple that has been around for years. You can find a good mix of experienced educators that have been at the center for years and new fresh educators that bring new persepective. This center is so inclusive and you can see and feel it when you first walk in the front door. Not all centers strive for community engagement, satisfaction and inclusion, but this center does to its fullest. I recommend taking a tour and seeing it for yourself.

My daughter attends bright horizon for over a year now. She started at the toddler classroom and then transferred to the 2’s. We love this place, it feels like a community! The teachers and staff are very caring for kids and do awesome job to address any concerns parents have. Communication is always easy and in time! The food they provide is healthy and fresh. A lot of fun activities in the curriculum and webinars for parents to learn and communicate their concerns. We transferred to another school after a year because we moved further south and the traffic was bad…. It was a huge debate for us… but I hate to be locked in the car in the highway 🥲. Wish they have a branch somewhere near Sandy/ cottonwood heights.

I can't say much about the facility. Why? Because after scheduling a tour and driving an hour to see the place, they tell me as we walked in, that his age group is full and they won't be taking on any more children until NEXT YEAR. Unprofessional and lacking common courtesy to keep this information from a potential "client". I will be looking elsewhere or asking FAR more questions since they seem to lack in the area of answering those questions that shouldn't have to be answered by wasting a good part of a day driving.

My son attended from the age of 1 until he entered kindergarten, and we have nothing but praise for Bright Horizons. It is a bit more expensive than other choices, but it's worth every penny.
