No. The Center offers full-day care for all programs. Families enrolled in the Primary Care Program may attend for two, three or five full days per week. Part-time enrollment (two or three days per week) must be consistent days from week to week. Any requests for changes in scheduled days must be submitted to the Director in writing and will be accommodated in the order that they are received and that space becomes available. Parents may drop off and pick up their child(ren) at any time between 7:00am and 6:30 pm.


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.


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.


To be added to the Wait List, simply complete a Pre Enrollment Registration Form for each child who you would like to enroll (found in the Parent Resources section of this website) and return it to the Center with the $100 per family, one-time registration fee. The registration fee is non-refundable. The Center Director will contact you when it is your turn on the Wait List and a space becomes available. Availability varies throughout the year and cannot be predicted accurately more than two to three months in advance. Placement on the Wait List is determined on a first-come first serve basis, with priority given to families asked by BMS to transfer and eligible for the BMS relocation policy, the re-enrollment of a child due to the child's or parent's company approved leave, the enrolllment of a sibling of a currently enrolled child, and the transfer of a child from a full-time basis to a part-time basis.

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has developed standards to define and recognize quality child care programs. In order to be accredited, a child care program must meet a variety of strict criteria, including having a well-trained faculty, good staff-child ratios and group sizes, and a comprehensive curriculum, as well as meet stringent health and safety standards. The program must also provide meaningful opportunities for family involvement.


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