Bright Horizons at North Durham

"Catherine, the director, along with the staff have created a wonderful community. We are thankful and fortunate for all the growth our daughter experienced at the North Durham Bright Horizons."

"We've had the best experience at this Bright Horizons and felt so comfortable and welcome throughout our son's time here. The teachers and admin staff are wonderful, the center is thoughtfully laid-out and well-equipped, and the communication and updates throughout the day/week are frequent and helpful. Our son loves it and never wants to leave at the end of the day. We'll miss everyone!"

"This is an absolutely wonderful daycare center! The leadership and staff are fantastic - my daughter is always happy to go and has developed positive, loving relationships with the adults working here. We have been going to BH North Durham for over a year and I cannot overstate how much she has learned and developed in terms of her vocabulary, social interaction, and accomplishing big toddler milestones. She is consistently exposed to a diverse array of snacks and meals, and her teachers had her sitting in a chair drinking from an open cup before we did at home! The classrooms are bright and well maintained, and there is a nice outdoor space as well without any nearby traffic. This is a great community with genuinely dedicated and responsive educators. I am so thankful we found this little gem when we moved to Durham."

"Many awesome things to say about our time at Bright Horizons North Durham! Easy parking, tidy but warm facility, and fun outdoor spaces for the children. The staff and teachers are kind, easy going, helpful, and the children love them! Lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. Healthy lunches and snacks made onsite with great variety. Their schedule is in the sweet spot between structured and freeform. Lots of variety as well - I feel like they were always getting to do new activities. And every week the kids would surprise me with new things they learned. Safe and responsive team. Felt like a community. Highly recommend!"

"After the initial couple of years of the pandemic, we decided to reenroll our kiddos into daycare. We heard great things about Bright Horizons so we took a chance! It was one of the best decisions we've made thus far as parents. Catherine, the Director, is simply phenomenal! She is incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and empathetic to the parent and teacher experience; she works tirelessly to make sure her teachers/staff are supported and parents are informed and involved. The facility is adorable, cozy and warm, stocked with great learning and experienced-based tools and materials, and facilitates community and connection. We were previously in a daycare setting where the older classes did a lot of worksheets to help with kindergarten prep. Bright Horizons goes above and beyond and has a great grasp on the developmental process; they know how to use both structured and unstructured play to foster learning. Our youngest can write her first and last name, knows a lot of numbers, the months of the year, and the list is endless. I feel incredibly confident in her readiness for traditional school. I am beyond grateful for the experiences we had at Bright Horizons and I cannot rate them highly enough!"
