Bright Horizons at Clybourn has programs for infants through kindergarten prep.  We welcome your child aged 6 weeks to 5 years old.

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 location employees, program licensing background checks required by the state are also performed.

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 preschool.

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 three locations to be registered at, including the location you are most interested in. By registering, you are confirming your strong interest in all three schools. 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 location they are most interested in. In many schools, 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.

Bright Horizons at Clybourn serves catered organic lunches and healthy snacks for children enrolled, at no additional cost. Morning session children will receive one morning snack and a lunch, afternoon session children will receive one snack, and full day children will receive two snacks and a lunch.
