Bright Horizons at L Street

"We‘re very happy with the quality of care and professionalism of this Bright Horizons location."

"Wonderful staff."

"We love the staff at L street. They made us feel so welcome and our son has so much fun there. We also love getting updates on how his day is going given he’s just 18 months and doesn’t say much :). We appreciate how accessible the staff is and always feel we can be open with them about any concerns with our son. They also have a great outdoor space. Would definitely recommend."

"Our three year old started pre-school here about a month ago and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. She was previously in another Bright Horizons inside of a federal building that closed due to the pandemic that has yet to re-open. After nearly a year at home, we were nervous about how our little one would take to a new center, new teachers, routine, etc. We were also nervous about exposure and safety. To our surprise, our daughter transitioned seamlessly and literally vibrates with excitement when we drop her off every morning. She’s just as happy and excited every day when we pick her up and talks non-stop all the way home about what she learned during the day, how much fun she had, etc. Her new thing is having us pretend that we’re her teachers when we’re at home and “playing school.” Or she’ll be the teacher and teach us things. We thought the excitement might wear off but we’re a month in, and it’s still going strong. It’s clear the teachers and staff here really care about the kids. They take the time to talk to us every day and genuinely seem like they enjoy what they do. So far, we’ve been really impressed with how seriously they are about mask wearing and limiting exposure as much as possible too. I wouldn’t say I’m a high maintenance parent, but I probably worry a lot more than I should. When our daughter is here though, I feel beyond comfortable which you really can’t put a price on. We’re so grateful to have found this center and appreciate all of the dedicated teachers and staff who go out of their way to provide such a positive, enriching, and safe environment for our daughter - especially in these crazy times."

"The physical space was excellent. This location has its own playground situated in a courtyard. This is a rare commodity. The arrangement with the garage next door was also wonderful and it was easy to manage pick up and drop off. The infant teachers were absolutely wonderful. They worked as a team and I felt good everyday leaving my infant in their care. Communications could use some improvement at this center. For example, I didn't feel I was given much notice when my child was set to be transferred to the next level and the infant teachers seemed to be unaware too. Very confusing. The next teacher experience was a mixed one. One teacher was very special, loved the kids and it showed in everything she did and the other teacher didn't seem to be happy in her job and it showed in everything she did. The excellent teacher left without any word from management. This was also true for the infant teacher team. As gifted as they all were, they all left in a short time period, one after the other, and without any word from management that these staff were moving on. Once those gifted teachers left, I knew it was time for us to go too."
