Bright Horizons has taken care of my now 2-year old son since he was 8 months old and has treated him as if he were their own. My son has blossomed socially and developmentally. They are kind, warm caregivers/early childhood educators who go above and beyond to make parents and children feel welcome and nurtured. They communicate with parents regularly - through the online app so you may see the everyday occurrences at the center and via email for community events and updates. They have handled the current Covid 19 pandemic with professionalism and courage. They adhere to all state guidelines and keep parents continually updated about the facility and the health of caregivers and children, all the while following the rules of HIPPA. Importantly, I feel 100% trust when my little one is at Bright Horizons. He is learning, growing, gaining confidence and social skills, and is nurtured by the best caregivers/early childhood educators at Bright Horizons at Brickstone. I am so grateful for everyone at Bright Horizons at Brickstone; our family has enjoyed an amazing early childhood experience there!

She is a kind and gentle with a sensitivity towards children. She's innovative in her approach and comes up with wonderful art and circle ideas for the children. She makes sure there's a good mix of structure and unstructured time and always made sure all the children were well fed and clean. She will work hard to provide your child with love and support, and give your child the best care possible.

From the owner: We have daily schedules and goals. We do circle time, arts and crafts, writing, songs--and we love…read moreplaying outside. As a teacher, integrating education into our days is very important to me, so I'm always working in different learning opportunities. For example, we do science experiments (like getting caterpillars and watching them transform into butterflies!), and I like to incorporate different languages into our lessons and songs to celebrate other cultures. My favorite activity is actually doing puzzles with the children. It's fun, educational, practices hand-eye coordination, and is a great opportunity to be on their level and connect with them. Of course, circle time is also special, when I get to know each one of them personally. I think parents often have the idea that a high-quality child care program has to have a lot of fancy equipment. But the value of the program is really in the educators themselves. I am a professional teacher, and I draw on decades of experience when running my program. There's a lot that goes into teaching and child care that isn't always obvious at first glance, and it definitely isn't as simple as having the latest toys or technology.

I was impressed with the staff and with how much fun the children in the center seemed to be having and how much my son enjoyed our visits. The children complete fun curriculum themes, play outdoors twice daily, have a great circle time routine, and many fun projects, parties, and they even went on an apple picking field trip in the fall! Finally, the price and flexibility in scheduling hours is fantastic. At my son's previous center I had to submit a written request for any extra hours and then pay an additional hourly rate on top of his tuition, *if* the extra time was approved. Little Learners is far more accommodating, only requiring verbal permission and no extra fee.
