What Child Care Looks Like Today
Child care has evolved to meet today's challenges. Though the protocols may be different, our philosophy remains the same: child care is still a place for childhood. See what a day at Bright Horizons is like.
Bright Horizons at Scottsdale Shea
Early Education & Preschool That's More than Daycare
Welcome! Your child’s early education is an exciting time, and we strive to provide an inspiring environment for learning and exploration. Our reading nook is a cozy place that fosters a love of literacy, and the children’s library includes a check-out system, so families can bring their favorite stories home to read. Your child will have the opportunity to dig in and discover the environment in our garden, and will participate in nature-inspired activities in our outdoor classrooms. Plus, the movement zone instills healthy habits through age-appropriate exercise. Stop by for a tour and to learn more!

Health, Safety, and Wellness at Our Center
Your child’s safety and wellness is our top priority. We continue to monitor state and local public health guidelines, look to our medical expert, and use our considerable experience to guide our health and safety practices. Our centers take important steps to ensure the very best for every child, and the Health and Wellness portion of our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum incorporates lessons about these essential topics into every classroom, every day.
Our Community
Our families come from nearby communities, creating a close-knit environment and strong parent partnerships. Whether we’re close to home or near the office, our center is ideal for busy working families and easy to get to – for pick-up and drop-off or to stop in for a visit.
