Bright Horizons conducts a comprehensive background check on all prospective employees and frequent visitors. The background check consists of a county criminal record check for the past seven years performed in all counties that a person has lived, worked or attended school. In addition to the county criminal search , a sex offender search, OFAC search and a social security verification trace are also conducted. For all employees, licensing requires Colorado Bureau of Investigations as well as Federal background checks be performed.


All Bright Horizons staff are trained regularly in CPR, First Aid, and Standard Precautions.  All staff are trained in how to recognize and properly treat head trauma, and we have several staff trained to give medication properly when ordered by a doctor.  You can feel confident that your child is safe and receiving the best care possible at our center.


Yes, Bright Horizons has an open door policy.  You are encouraged to visit your child anytime.


We suggest you register with Bright Horizons.  You can select up to 3 locations to be registered at, including the center you are most interested in.  By registering, you are confirming your strong interest in all 3 centers.  We will add you to our wait list and you will be offered a space as soon as one becomes available.  While waiting for a space to become available at your first choice location, many families will choose to enroll at their 2nd or 3rd choice temporarily until space becomes available at the center they are most interested in.  In many centers, a child currently enrolled at a Bright Horizons location has priority over the general community so enrolling at another location will not only solve your care needs but will also give you additional priority in getting into your 1st preference.  Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows.  During the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status.


We encourage any family interested in center information, regular updates and invitations to the many events we are planning, to contact us.
