  • Our daughter was at this Bright Horizons for a little over a year (April '24-July '25). During that year and change, she received incredible care, support, and love which made nearly every day for her there exceptional. Her core teachers were wonderful. In the infant room, Leslie and Alyssa were like family to her - guiding her from not yet crawling into an emerging toddler with love and empathy. In the toddler room, Kathy and Grecia continued to build on her early successes, introducing her to so many fun games, activities, and showing her how fun and interesting each day can be. Beyond these instructors there are a host of support teachers and administrators (like Amy) who made our daughter's day, every single day. We ultimately had to leave because we moved away from Charlestown and could no longer handle the traffic in the commute. The choice to do so was hard given how much we came to love the program. I would strongly recommend this daycare to any parent - the quality of care is exceptional, and your child will go supported and loved.

  • Highly recommend Bright Horizons at Schraffts and their qualified teachers and staff! Both of our children started with their infant program at 4 months. We are impressed by their level of professionalism, modern curriculum, and the overall care our children receive within both their infant and toddler program.

  • My son started at Bright Horizons at Schraffts for 2 days/week back in the Fall after being with a nanny for his first 3.5 years. I was nervous for how he would do and because of the amazing teachers and staff, my son has been doing so well. Everyone at the center is so wonderful and really cares for each child so deeply. They take the time to get to know your child, which feels really good as a parent. Not to mention, my son is learning so much! He is coming home always telling us something new which shows us that the teachers are doing an amazing job teaching my son new things. I am so happy we went with this center, it was definitely the right choice for our family.

  • As a new mom, the process of choosing a childcare option was incredibly overwhelming. Ending up at Bright Horizons Schraffts was one of the best things that happened to our family. What sets this center apart are the incredible teachers and the enriching curriculum. The teachers are dedicated and caring and are so invested in our son’s health, wellness, and development. Several of the teachers have been there for 20+ years – which not only speaks to the amazing experience of the staff but also the wonderful culture of the center. The curriculum is also remarkable. My son, who is just over a year old, is engaging in STEM, visual and creative arts, and language and literacy activities. We get weekly pictures of him painting, playing, exploring and more! I highly recommend this center to anyone who is considering!

  • As a first time parent, evaluating all the possible childcare options can be so stressful. We visited numerous daycare facilities but nothing compared to the feeling we received at Bright Horizons Schraffts. Our son has been enrolled for just over a year; starting in the infant program and now in toddlers. The curriculum from day 1 has been very impressive and his development has accelerated. He is happy to walk in the door each morning and we receive daily photos of all his activities: art, stem exploration, reading, and fun time on the playground with his friends. The center administrators and his teachers are caring & supportive and our son absolutely adores them. All the teachers (not just in his classroom) know our son by name, which speaks volumes to the caring and intimate environment. We are grateful we found this center & caretaker team and highly recommend.

  • Our daughter has been attending BH at Schraffts for a little over a year and we have had a fantastic experience. The staff and administration have all been wonderful. Our daughter is always happy to see everyone and it’s obvious they take great care of her. I absolutely love the daily pictures and updates on activities they did throughout the day on the app. We are so thankful we found a daycare we trust and love so much, it makes being working parents so much easier.
