Bright Horizons at West 8th

We have had such a wonderful experience here over the past year! I was incredibly nervous about leaving my son in someone else's care—but from day one, his infant class teachers, Iulia and Mariana, were so kind, patient, and supportive. They truly helped ease my nerves and made the transition so smooth! His toddler class teachers, Keondia and Ruby are amazing—so caring, responsive, and genuinely invested in the kids' well-being and development. The curriculum is thoughtfully planned and we love the diverse art, music, and movement activities. We are grateful to have found such a nurturing and enriching environment for our little one. Highly recommend!

This place is AMAZING. My daughter started coming at 4 months old and I was so scared to leave her (she is now almost 11 months). Within minutes of walking out, I started getting pictures and messages. They knew it was hard for me and they did a wonderful job. The teachers do so many activities with the kids from singing and dancing to painting and doing crafts. I can tell how much they love her. Since the addition of the new director, Brenna, the center has gotten EVEN BETTER (if you can believe it). She is a ray of sunshine and I can tell how much she cares about everyone there including the staff and kids! She is so kind! Sheri, Melissa, Lulia and Mariana are all so great too as the primary caregivers of our baby girl. She has blossomed and grown so much being there and it's honestly been a huge relief to see her hit these major milestones. We've also met so many other parents and they do great events so we can all interact. I always know what is going on with our baby and feel so confident in their abilities! 5 stars ALL AROUND! (BTW, we toured the KinderCare up 2 blocks first and it was night and day between the staff, state of the playroom and cleanliness.)

My family and I love this center! The director and teachers are wonderful, flexible and trustworthy. My daughter has been with this center since infant, she is now 3 1/2 and in preschool. I’ve always been impressed with getting daily updates with meals, naps, toilet breaks, and pretty much what they have learned and practiced for the day. My favorite being the pictures I get to see of my daughter throughout the day. I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience and education my daughter gets out of the center and teachers. She is so smart and thriving. I can’t wait to see her continue her education journey here.

We used Bright Horizons as back up care and originally we really loved the care. My view completely changed after what happened next. The following week, she returned to her normal daycare and then they noticed spots on her and she was subsequently diagnosed with Hand Foot and Mouth disease. Which, fine, it's super contagious and she's a baby, so I understand these things happen. I did the responsible thing and called Bright Horizons to report our case as soon as we left the doctor's office. They told me they already had a confirmed case earlier that week, so tell me why my family wasn't alerted or notified?? This would have prevented us from a possibly infecting to the babies at her current daycare.

Bright Horizons has been a wonderful experience. Not just for my daughter but for me as well. I was uneasy dropping her off on her first day but within an hour of leaving the center I received multiple pictures, videos, and updates about how she was doing, her nap schedule, meal times, etc...And the best part, she was having the time of her life. The center is flexible with specialized meal programs, nap schedules, and bottle feedings which was a huge relief. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a safe, fun, and special place for their little one.
