The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has developed standards to define and recognize quality child care programs. In order to be accredited, a child care program must meet a variety of strict criteria, including having a well-trained faculty, good staff-child ratios and group sizes, and a comprehensive curriculum, as well as meet stringent health and safety standards. The program must also provide meaningful opportunities for family involvement.
The center has a capacity of 170 children at one time- 48 infants, 50 toddler, and 72 preschool students.
A 30 day notice is required to terminate your affiliation with the center. If a family is away for an extended period of time and would like to be guaranteed a slot when returning, they will be required to pay for the slot. Families will also have the option of providing 30 day notice prior to leaving and paying $25 to be placed on the wait list for future enrollment.
Bright Horizons is an organization with a core mission of helping children and families. For those parents seeking additional resources beyond those that can be provided through Bright Horizons, the center will have resource listings of educational specialists, medical consultants, nutritionists, speech therapists, and other community professionals who are available to work with children, families, and staff.
The center offers limited back up care (10 days) on the days a family's regular child care is unavailable. It will be provided on a daily space available basis, for infants, toddlers, and pre-school age children. Please call the center for instructions on how to register your child for back up care. Care can be requested up to 30 days in advance. As the center is currently at capacity please note that space is not guaranteed.
All Bright Horizons staff are trained regularly in CPR and 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.
Bright Horizons conducts a comprehensive background check on all prospective employees and frequent visitors. The background check consists of a county criminal record check for the past seven years performed in all counties that a person has lived, worked or attended school. In addition to the county criminal search, a sex offender search, OFAC search and a social security verification trace are also conducted. For all location employees, program licensing background checks required by the state are also performed.
Bright Horizons curriculum, The World at Their Fingertips, is our unique curriculum designed to engage children in active learning that prepares them for school while helping them achieve their individual potential and fostering a spirit of community. It includes curriculum elements such as Language Works, Math Counts, Science Rocks, Art Smart, Our World and Well Aware that cross all age groups. Learn more about Bright Horizons Curriculum.
Families are first required to submit a Pre-Enrollment Registration & Waitlist Policy Form. Please click here to access the form. Families are added to the waitlist using the date their application is received and the date care is needed. Enrollment priority:
Families are welcome to contact the Center periodically by phone or email to inquire about their child’s placement on the waiting list. We are unable to give a specific waitlist number and anticipated start date due to our priority system of serving siblings first, accommodating schedule changes, and the complexity of scheduling new families with multiple children.
We follow a strict application date/date care is needed system. Although it is our policy not to provide detailed information about waiting list placement given these issues, we are happy to share general updates to help you determine the likelihood of availability, as well as whether/when to seek alternative child care options to serve your immediate or longer term needs.
