What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

Bright Horizons has been an amazing experience for our family. The teachers are incredible—loving, attentive, and truly dedicated to the kids. We’ve seen our children grow so much, both socially and academically, thanks to the nurturing environment. Highly recommend!
Matthew ReaberApr 9, 2025We had high hopes for this school but did not feel welcome by our daughter's teacher since day one. The teacher felt cold and lacked empathy and patience. When our daughter came into the classroom, she did not acknowledge her or try to build a relationship. Our daughter was the only new student due to enrolling mid school year and we would have hoped our teacher would make more of an effort. While picking up our daughter only negative comments about her were made. Not a single positive or understanding comment. Most children at this age take time to get use to change and their new teachers. My husband dropped her off one of the days during her first week and felt the same way I did, the lack of understanding was a bit shocking. We decided to remove our daughter and applied to The Academy only a couple minutes away. Applying to The Academy was the best choice for our family and our welcoming could not have been more different! Our daughter has progressed and learned so much these past few months. The staff and director are kind, inclusive and truly care about every child in their program. We instantly felt like family. We highly recommend The Academy Bright Horizons.
Sandy SchleckJan 17, 2024We love the staff and teachers at BH! Could not recommend high enough!
Aaron BoonjindasupOct 30, 2023"I cannot speak highly enough of Bright Horizons! The care and attention they provide for my daughter is exceptional. The staff is warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in her well-being. The facility is clean, safe, and offers a stimulating environment for learning and play. I am grateful for the peace of mind they give me every day. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
Shannon EliasOct 18, 2023We are so happy with BH . My son is so excited everyday to go to preschool. Academically he is ahead of his other friends . They are very strict with COVID prevention protocols and keep the number of kids limited. Very friendly teachers and staff and very responsive to all concerns and questions if any! We are so happy our son is graduating from BH and so thankful to all BH family. Highly recommend this preschool to everyone.
Morgan SadieApr 6, 2021Bright Horizons school is top notch...fantastic teachers, great environment, and for us we appreciate the flexibility of the schedule as two working parents!
