Take the F train to the Roosevelt Island stop. When exiting the train station, make a left and walk past the Duane Reade and Riverwalk Cafe (away from the Manhattan side of the island, toward the Queens side of the island). When you get to the street, make a left and walk three buildings down to 475 Main St. If coming by tram, exit the tram station via the exit nearest the fountain.

About Our Staff

A Bright Horizons teacher is a nurturer as well as an educator, someone who encourages learning through exploration, and who understands the balance between what a child needs to feel safe and what she requires to reach her potential. Your child’s teacher is your partner. At Bright Horizons, families and teachers work together --celebrating successes, navigating challenges, and communicating daily about your child’s achievements and goals.
