Welcome to Bright Horizons at Garner Learning Center

A great place to learn, discover and grow!

In each age-appropriate classroom, from two's through Kindergarten, our highly-skilled teachers provide a stimulating environment for learning. Our program for learning, The World at Their Fingertips, takes into account how each child is smart and adapts our programs to meet their needs.

We are in the heart of Alameda, located three miles from the Oakland International Airport, along the Harbor Bay Business Park.

We know that choosing a child care center for your child is a difficult decision. We'd love for you to come in and visit us! In the meantime, please visit our photo gallery which highlights a day in the life at Bright Horizons at Garner.
