Welcome! This is an exciting stage in your child’s early education, and our talented team of caring teachers is here to inspire learning, encourage confidence, and nurture your child's growth and development. Our World at Their Fingertips curriculum features an arts program that sparks creativity, a language program that fosters an interest in reading, a science program that stimulates curiosity, and more. There’s always something new to explore. And our convenient location, schedules that accommodate your busy workday, and open-door policy make it easy to stay involved.

Bright Horizons at Democracy Center provides nutritious nut-free snacks for children daily. Milk and water are also offered with snacks and meals. Parents have the option to send a lunch for their child or purchase a catered lunch from our food vendor Good Food Company. See below for a sample menu.
Our families come from nearby communities including Bethesda, Rockville, and Potomac, 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.
Children graduate Bright Horizons programs with the skills they need to succeed in private or public school. In surveys, kindergarten and first grade teachers report that Bright Horizons graduates are enthusiastic learners who are socially and academically ready for the years ahead.
Your child’s health and safety are our top priority. Our centers have strict guidelines for cleanliness and security and we’re proud to be recognized as a health-and-wellness model for child care centers by the Partnership for a Healthier America.
