WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT BRIGHT HORIZONS?

How should I choose a Denver baby care provider?

OPEN
When looking for a licensed daycare in Denver, you can start by searching the web for daycare providers close to your work or home. You may also ask friends and family about their experiences with different providers. Once you have identified several options, schedule a visit with each site where you can check out the environment in which your baby will spend the day and observe how the caregivers interact with the children. Schedule an interview with the head or manager of each center to get answers to all your questions. Finally, check to see if you can access an employer tuition reimbursement program at work that could help cover the cost of care. 

What are the benefits of child care for babies?

OPEN

Daycare and early learning centers provide babies with opportunities to build strong social-emotional skills and to gain early exposure to art, music, movement, reading, science, and other academic disciplines. One-on-one time with caregivers helps babies build relationships, trust, and self-confidence.

When should I start looking for baby care in Denver?

OPEN
Since many child care providers have long waiting lists, it’s best to start looking for Denver baby care options as soon as you know you will need them. It may take longer than you think to schedule tours and interviews and to make a decision about which solution best meets your needs. The sooner you get on the waiting list of your preferred care provider, the more likely there will be a space available when you’re ready to enroll your baby.
