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.
Welcome! Our center enrolls children from the community as well as CDW families. We offer fun, engaging activities for all ages, and have a dramatic play area and music room that encourage creative expression and imaginative thinking. Our science lab gives your child a place to experiment and explore. The reading nook offers a cozy spot to curl up with a book and develop literacy skills, and our library lets your child check out and bring favorite stories home. Plus, your child can dig in and explore nature in the outdoor learning areas and garden. Contact us to set up a tour to learn more! We are located just south of Route 60 / Townline Road and Milwaukee Avenue, next to the Vernon Hills High School.

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 families come from nearby communities, including Vernon Hills, Libertyville and Mundelien. Located on CDW's campus in Vernon Hills, near a major roadway, we're easy to get to for drop-off and pick-up.
