Frequently Asked Questions

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.
