Welcome to Bright Horizons at West 96th! We are a connected community of passionate educators, engaged parents and budding lifelong learners. We value active learning: we do this by exploring Central Park and our Movement Matters Zone that includes a rock wall, yoga zone and STEM corner; Community Outreach: collecting donations for the Regent Family Home and the Samaritan Village for Young Mothers; Parent Partnership: facilitating a broad range of parent workshops that support your family's journey from potty learning to Kindergarten admissions. Located on the Upper West Side, we look forward to growing with you and your family!

Take a look inside Bright Horizons at West 96th Street from the comfort of your own home! You’ll see our warm, welcoming environments, enriching classrooms, and inspiring spaces that spark independence, curiosity, and learning.
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 across the Upper West Side, 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.
