Are all staff trained in CPR and First Aid?
All Bright Horizons staff are trained regularly in CPR, even if not required by the state. First Aid is taught as required by state licensing agency/regulations so that you can feel confident that your child is safe and receiving the best care possible at our center.
Can I visit my child at the center anytime I’d like to?
Yes, Bright Horizons has an open door policy. You are encouraged to visit your child anytime.
What if I’d like to enroll but the center doesn’t have space available?
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 2nd or 3rd 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.
How do I enroll?
Completing your registration form will ensure you will receive direct communication regarding the child care center. When your registration form is received, you will be placed on a waiting list. You will be contacted to pay the registration fee of $75. Once the fee is received your child's enrollment at the ESPN Child Care Center will be reserved. Prior to your child's first day, the Center Director will schedule a time for you to meet your child's primary caregiver or teacher and to learn more about the Bright Horizons care program and curriculum. The Director will review the parent/guardian policies, procedures and enrollment forms at that time.
Where can I learn more about other Bright Horizons locations?

What is NAEYC accreditation?

The program must also provide meaningful opportunities for family involvement.
