Welcome to Bright Horizons in Birmingham

Under the leadership of Renae Thompson, Director, BE*Kare has been offering high quality childcare for over fifteen years. We were also one of the first centers in Birmingham to become reaccredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) under the new standards. With NAEYC accreditation comes lower ratios, higher teachers standards and a hands on curriculum. We have an open door policy that encourages you to come visit or call at any time. Please come by and visit our center. We look forward to meeting you and your family.

What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends.

"We could not be happier with the quality care that these teachers provide to our daughter. She is so happy when we drop her off and pick her up - we know she loves spending time with them. It makes being a working parent a lot easier to know that such she is in such great, caring hands! "
