We suggest you register with Bright Horizons.  You can select up to 3 locations to be registered at, including the center you are most interested in.  By registering, you are confirming your strong interest in all 3 centers.  We will add you to our wait list and you will be offered a space as soon as one becomes available.  While waiting for a space to become available at your first choice location, many families will choose to enroll at their 2^nd or 3^rd choice temporarily until space becomes available at the center they are most interested in.  In many centers, a child currently enrolled at a Bright Horizons location has priority over the general community so enrolling at another location will not only solve your care needs but will also give you additional priority in getting into your 1st preference.  Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows.  During the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status.

Yes, there are 4 designated short-term parking spaces located in The Shops' garage for families to use. The Center is easily accessible from Covington's offices or from Metro Center.

Spaces in our center are offered to families on our waiting list based on their level of priority status and when they applied. Families of siblings and Covington & Burling employees are given top priority, with all other members of the community sharing equal priority regardless of employment agency.

As openings in the Center become available, they will be offered according to status on the waitlist. Once you have been offered a spot in the Center, if you decline the enrollment offer, the opening will be offered to the next person on the waiting list. Your name will remain on the waiting list after the first declination. If another opening becomes available, you will be offered a second space. If you decline the opening a second time, your name will be removed from the waiting list.

The Center is located in "The Shops" at 1331 Pennsylvania Ave.

Quiet, private areas for nursing mothers are provided in the Center.
