Meet Our Teaching Team
Erika
I love teaching because: Children surprises me everyday. Each child had a unique personality and perspective that brings a smile to my face.
Cierra
Infant Team Lead
I love Bright Horizons because: I believe all children deserve a safe space to learn, have fun, grow and engage with their peers.
Theoza
I love teaching because: There are many old sayings about being a child, however the one that stays with me is, "Smiles and Cries make me a better person".

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 center.
Yes, Bright Horizons has an open door policy. You are encouraged to visit your child anytime.
As a client-based center, we give priority to SEC families first. Currently, siblings of currently enrolled children have the highest priority, then new SEC families. The next category is federal and finally community families.
In general, most families register as soon as they have a due date. However, this is no guarantee of a spot being offered. We go off the registration date and see most of our transitions during the end of Summer.
Most families enter our center through our Infant room. If a child on a wait list ages up, we will move them up to the next room's wait list. However, those spots seldom open up as we usually have children age into the program.
In generally, we rarely get to the Federal and Community category and the majority of our families are SEC.

This depends on your child’s age, temperament, and level of maturity. General tips for preparing for the first day of child care include:
- Developing a relationship with your child’s teacher and keeping communication open
- 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
- Getting ahead of separation anxiety by creating a “goodbye” routine together
Please submit an inquiry to your center(s) of interest with a request for tuition information. We recommend scheduling a visit at the same time (this can be done on the same form).
Safety is our top priority, and it’s part of our everyday routine. All of our centers follow expert-informed health, safety, and security policies and allergy protocols. Additionally, health, safety, and wellness are built right into our curriculum, and our classrooms and spaces are safely designed for learning and exploration.
