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.
SAS Institute Montessori Daycare
Early Education & Preschool That's More than Daycare
Welcome! The SAS Institute Daycare offers a developmentally appropriate program for young children, dedicated to addressing the needs of the whole child (emotional, physical, cognitive, and social). We maintain and foster a safe, warm, nurturing, and supportive environment that values open and honest communications and collaborative relationships. Our teachers are professionally trained and highly qualified, and the center maintains a higher number of teaching staff than required by State regulations to meet nationally recognized standards of quality.
Donna Smith - Center Director
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.
