Health, Safety, and Wellness at Our Center
Your child’s safety and wellness is our top priority. We continue to monitor state and local public health guidelines, look to our medical expert, and use our considerable experience to guide our health and safety practices. Our centers take important steps to ensure the very best for every child, and the Health and Wellness portion of our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum incorporates lessons about these essential topics into every classroom, every day.
Our NAEYC Accreditation
Bright Horizons is committed to 100% NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accreditation for all of our eligible child care centers and preschools.
Why NAEYC? Based on a multi-step process of continuous evaluation and improvement, NAEYC accreditation is the most comprehensive in the field, ensuring that our programs are informed by research and demonstrate high-quality standards.
NAEYC accreditation is our commitment to families. It is one way we provide the very best care and education for young children. Bright Horizons goes beyond what a traditional daycare would offer in order to establish a strong foundation for success in school and life.

Frequently Asked Questions
While terms may vary, the core mission of transitional kindergarten and pre-k is the same: preparing children for kindergarten.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Preschool serves younger children (typically ages 2–4) and focuses on foundational learning through play.
- Transitional kindergarten and pre-k / kindergarten prep are more structured programs tailored to children who are nearing kindergarten age.
- Public transitional kindergarten programs may follow modified kindergarten standards and are typically state funded.
- Bright Horizons’ kindergarten prep follows a research-based, age-appropriate curriculum that mirrors the developmental goals of transitional kindergarten — with added flexibility and individualized attention.
In a transitional kindergarten setting, your children enjoy a more structured curriculum than pre-k. This includes incorporating a modified kindergarten curriculum that develops early literacy, math, executive function, and social-emotional skills, such as following directions and taking turns.
Our program at Del Mar offers the choice of 5 full days, 3 full days, or 2 full days per week.
Tuition varies by center, schedule and by individual classroom. To find out more information about tuition, please contact the center directly.
