Bright Horizons at Northbrook

"Great agency in general, but the people make the program… We have been blessed with AMAZING teachers and WONDERFUL administrators at this location. I have the utmost confidence that my daughters are well cared for and learning every day they go. Highly recommend this center to anyone looking for a great childcare option!!"

"We’ve been with the center since 2018 and have had our 2 boys here in all class levels. We’ve always been very happy and especially love the low level of staff turnover. My preschooler has the same teacher that my now 1st grader had when he was that age. The teachers do a great job of engaging the children, encouraging independence, communicating with parents, and ultimately preparing the kids for kindergarten!"

"After researching and almost trying different day care centres, we ended up with Bright Horizons at Northbrook. That turned out to be the best decision we took! They(Miss Daniel Center - previous director and Miss Carrie- Current director) took the time and patience to transition our son from infant to toddler and we didn't have any issues with that. Miss Sam ,Miss Erica, Miss Bonnie are the best they helped my son through infant class room.The staff(Miss Kristen,Miss Tracy) are very friendly, always willing to hear our concerns and suggestions if any (we hardly have them). Miss Lorrie, Miss Halima, Miss Mitchell and all the resource teachers took good care of my son in toddler class room Happy to see our son well adjusted and also, having fun with teachers and other kids. Chef Dan cooks amazing food for the kids and my son has improved a lot with the variety of foods. Highly recommended!"

"I cannot day enough great things about Bright Horizons! Our children have been in the young preschool, preschool, and kindergarten prep classrooms, and every teacher has been fabulous. They are always changing up the activities and making learning fun. It is a great balance of playtime and academics, all in a nurturing environment. There are special activities like yoga, dance, and Spanish lessons, along with plenty of playtime inside and outdoors. Chef Dan cooks delicious and healthy food for the children daily - breakfast, lunch, snack, and there is even a snack to go in the lobby. The communication is top notch, with pictures, potty, and meal updates all sent each day through an app. At drop off and pick up, the front desk staff and teachers are always friendly and provide an update about the day. All of the families we've met are super friendly, and my kids often don't want to leave when it's time to go home. As a teacher myself, I can confidently say that my children will be more than prepared for kindergarten thanks to Bright Horizons."

"Bright Horizons Northbrook has very friendly staff that exceed expectations in terms of communication with parents. The curriculum is very stimulating and we feel confident that our child will be very well prepared for Kindergarten. There are always several activities going on in the classroom with little repetition. The teachers excel at drawing out the best ideas and curiosity from the children. They excel at conflict resolution and ensuring all the children are happy and having fun. The facility is very clean, which is also a plus. The meal options and preparation are also very impressive."
