Find an Answer to Your Question

I'm not quite ready to enroll in the center but I am interested in continuing to hear about what is happening at the center. How can I get information more regularly?

We encourage any family interested in center information, regular updates and invitations to the many events we are planning, to contact us.

Is part-time care available?

No. We only offer full-time care.

Can you please give me directions to the center?

We are located at 901 New York Avenue, NW. The entrance is at the corner of 10th & K Streets, NW. There is a parking garage in the building, off of K Street, for which we offer 45 minute parking validation. We are also easily accessible from the following metro stations: Metro Center, Gallery Place & Mt. Vernon Square.

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 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.

Is there a playground on-site?

We do not have a playground at our center.  However, all of our classes go outside at least once a day.  The infant classes go for walks in the community.  The infant teachers take outdoor activities such as bubbles and books and will often will spread out a blanket in a park to enjoy these activities, explore the outside environment, and/or enjoy snack or a bottle feeding while outside.  The toddler classes also take walks in the community, and also visit public playgrounds, the fire station and the MLK library.  When they are not exploring the city, the toddlers visit the 10th Street Community Play Area (near Mass Ave) to enjoy activities with equipment such as sidewalk chalk, hula hoops, balls, tunnels and parachute.  The toddlers also enjoy water play in the summer twice a week.
