Welcome to Bright Horizons at Norwell

Yes, please complete a Registration Form if you are expecting with your anticipated start date. Once this is complete an administrator will contact you about the enrollment process. 

Bright Horizons regularly conducts systematic studies to assess children’s preparedness for entering elementary school as perceived by the children’s parents and elementary school teachers. Through child-directed (emergent) and teacher-guided choices, the emphasis is on reading, writing, math, science, art, social skills, and creative movement. The program helps children approach school and academics with skills, confidence, and the drive for excellence. Key findings from the recent study include:

A meaningful benefit of having child care near the workplace is the opportunity for a new mother to breast-feed throughout the day. If you are a nursing mother, we will be happy to make arrangements for you to visit your infant at any time and there will be a private lactation room at the center.  If not convenient for you to make nursing visits, a supply of frozen breast milk can be stored at the center for up to one month from the date provided to the center; you may also provide milk daily.

You will be required to pay the following: 

• Registration Fee: A registration fee of $150 per child will be due at the time of registration.  This places your child on to our waitlist.
• Enrollment Deposit: An enrollment deposit equal to the first month’s tuition will be required within two business days of accepting the enrollment offer. The enrollment deposit will be applied to the first month of tuition. If a family chooses not to enroll their child after accepting the enrollment offer, the enrollment deposit will be forfeited.
• Annual Re-Registration Fee:  A $100 fee per child will be required each subsequent year to cover annual administrative and licensing fees.

Two nutritious snacks per day as well as water and organic milk are included in the tuition. Parents provide the lunch for their child.  The center is a nut-safe environment, so please make sure to pack foods that do not contain any nut products.

Yes, the center offers a discount for siblings. 

The second child will make the family eligible for a 10% discount on the oldest child tuition.

We serve children 6 weeks through 6 years old.

Please submit an inquiry to your center(s) of interest with a request for tuition information. We recommend scheduling a visit at the same time (this can be done on the same form).
