Frequently Asked Questions

All Bright Horizons staff are trained regularly in CPR, even if not required by the state. First Aid is taught as required by state licensing agency/regulations so that you can feel confident that your child is safe and receiving the best care possible at our center.


All adults must visibly display their ID badges while at the Child Development Center and use their ID at all times to access the Child Development Center (no piggybacking is allowed). It is the employees' responsibility to report any inappropriate badge use. To obtain a non-USAA employee badge for a spouse or someone designated for pick up, USAA employee/sponsor must sign a Responsibilities Statement form provided at the Child Development Center and receive instructions from Bright Horizons.


All children of an employee's extended family are also eligible to enroll for full-time care. Please note that the children do not have to reside in your home, and you are not required to claim them as dependents on your federal income tax returns. A slight increase in tuition costs for extended family children will be applied. USAA employees' children have priority enrollment over extended family. Upon enrollment the USAA employee sponsor must provide his/her USAA ID number to CDC staff.


To initiate the process, complete the CDC Tuition Assistance Application found under For Our Parents . After attaching the required documentation, fax the paperwork to Lorinda Bennett at (210) 694-7822 or via email at lorinda.bennett@brighthorizons.com. Please do not send pictures of documents from smartphones.

If you have questions regarding the USAA CDC Tuition Assistance Program, email is the preferred method of contact.

The staff-to-child ratios at the on-site CDC meet the accreditation standards set by the NAEYC and exceed most state licensing requirements.

  • Labeling all items  
  • Making sure your child has the essentials: bottles, extra clothes, diapers, blanket, and more  
  • Talking about the first day with your child  
  • Setting expectations for the new morning routine
