Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you may tour the center at anytime, however we encourage you to call us to set-up a tour so that we can arrange to devote plenty of time to your tour and answer and questions you may have as thoroughly as possible.


Yes! At our child care center, we have an open-door policy that welcomes families to visit at any time throughout the day. We believe that strong family partnerships are key to a child’s success, and we encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s learning. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick visit, joining a classroom activity, or participating in a special event, your involvement is always welcomed and valued.


Yes! In addition to our normal year-round programming, we offer a fun and enriching summer camp experience for children 2.9 to 6 years old which includes:

  • Action-packed program that’s both fun and educational
  • Age-appropriate, engaging investigative topics that incorporate children’s interests
  • Virtual field trips & special guests
  • Health, safety, and security policies that meet or exceed local, state, and national standards

Contact us to learn more. Space is limited and early registration is encouraged!


Yes! At our center, we intentionally incorporate sign language into our Infant program and all other age groups to enhance communication and support early language development. Sign language offers infants, toddlers and all young children an effective means to express their needs and emotions before they develop verbal skills, reducing frustration and promoting a sense of security. Additionally, introducing sign language encourages inclusivity and supports children with diverse communication styles. By integrating sign in to our programs, we help nurture confident communicators and strengthen connections among all children and caregivers.


No. At our center, we prioritize the health and well-being of every child. By allowing families to pack their own lunches, we can accommodate individual dietary needs and preferences. This allows us to be sure that each child enjoys meals that are both nutritious and familiar. This practice also fosters healthy eating habits, as parents have the opportunity to teach their children about their individual families preference for a  balanced nutrition and involve them in meal preparation. We pride ourselves in creating a nurturing environment that values personalized care and healthy choices for our little ones.


Tuition varies by center, schedule and by individual classroom. To find out more information about tuition, please contact the center directly.


At our center, we intentionally embrace mixed-age groups within our Infant, Toddler and Preschool programs to foster a rich, collaborative learning environment. Our age groups are as follows: 

Infants – 6 weeks - 15 months

Toddlers – 15 months - 2.9 years

Preschool – 2.9 years – 4/5 years

Kindergarten Prep – 4/5 years – 6 years

This approach encourages children to learn from one another, promoting social skills, empathy, and leadership as they interact with peers of varying ages. Younger children benefit from the modeling and guidance of older children, while the older children reinforce their knowledge and develop confidence by teaching and supporting their younger peers. This dynamic promotes a sense of community and belonging, enriching the educational experience for all children and allowing them to thrive at their own pace. By nurturing these mixed-age interactions, we cultivate a holistic environment that supports developmental growth and lifelong learning.


At our center, we take pride in the established culture of Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect and Teamwork that fosters both teacher and leadership longevity. Our commitment to creating a nurturing environment not only benefits our children and families, but also empowers our dedicated staff. Bright Horizons stands out in the industry by offering exceptional benefits, including a comprehensive teacher degree program that enables employees to work full-time while pursuing a free education up to a Master’s degree, fully funded by the company. This commitment to professional development is complemented by competitive salaries, ensuring our teachers are among the highest paid in the field. All of these elements added together create a vibrant and stable community where educators thrive and contribute to a rich, collaborative center culture.
