  My daughter moved to the Infant Room here after attending another daycare. There were some concerns we had from our previous center hence our choice to move, and since coming here, she has absolutely thrived. She has received exceptional care from the Infant Room into the Twos room, and the teachers as well as administrative staff are all simply amazing and attentive to every individual child. The communication is transparent/frequent, events are fun, and the classrooms themselves are warm and inviting. Our second is now in the Infant Room with the same teachers that our first daughter had, and we are so excited for her to get the experience our first did.

  This childcare has been AMAZING. After having a really bad experience at a previous daycare our kiddo as well as us had a difficult time bringing him back to daycare. They were patient, understanding, and communicative. They have done wonders for his healing and feeling safe in daycare. The rooms are clean, the staff has been consistent with low turnover and the curriculum is great! I wish I had gone with them sooner!

  My daughter was here back when she was a toddler all through their kindergarten program. She is now back for their summer camp program. From the time we entered the center, it felt like a second family! All of the teachers treated my daughter like their own! Management goes above and beyond for parents and you can tell their staff loves and respects them. We are so beyond grateful for the care we’ve received and still receive!

  I’ll start by saying, “my kids LOVE attending BHNK!” Our son attended BH in the fall of 2019 in the infant room. 6 months later COVID and we pulled him out. However, Sarah and Maureen continued to include our family in activities and crafts. It was nice to feel connected to other families during a pandemic. When we were deciding to put our son back into childcare, there was no comparison. We rejoined the BHNK family in the summer of 2021 in the Twos room. In the spring of 2022 our daughter started in the infant room. I have a strong “mom gut” feeling and I rarely let family watch my kids, however, it’s different with BHNK. Each individual (admin, teacher, resource teacher, and the cook) take the time to build a relationship with your child. My “mom gut” nerves are always at ease when I drop the kids off. I absolutely love when the kids get excited to see BHNK staff and can’t wait to tell us who they are or how they know them. Our daughter gets upset on days she’s not scheduled to be at BHNK. We have to reassure her that soon she will go everyday! I’m not even kidding, our children ask if it’s a school day or stay at home day regardless of what we tell them… they are excited! Our children are EXCITED to go to BHNK. In addition to all the amazing relationships, BHNK is high quality child care with an emphasis in education. The curriculum used is researched based and has a social emotional approach. BH also provides continuing education for their staff. They are so collaborative and truly want the children to be successful in all areas of development. What more could you ask for in child care?!?!

  Our family has been at Bright Horizons North Kennicott since our first daughter was four months and now is in the Kindergarten program. The directors, teachers, and full staff are wonderful and have always been there to help out our girls. Our girls are flourishing and love their teachers and school so much. I could not recommend more!

  Updated 4/2023 to share that our family continues to trust Bright Horizons North Kennicott to provide a safe learning and playing environment for our two children. We have attended North Kennicott for 4+ years now and are so grateful to the center's leaders, teachers, and staff. Their curriculum provides a fun and engaging way for the children to learn, and they are invested in the ongoing learning and well being of their teachers and staff. Our family has been attending Bright Horizons North Kennicott for nearly three years with two children, and we are incredibly happy. The center's director, Sarah, is a strong, compassionate leader and that is reflected through program curriculum and teacher retention. At North Kennicott, I know my children are safe, they are learning, and they are thriving.
