BRIGHT HORIZONS AT UNIVERSITY CITY

Our baby started at 3mo and has been here for about 2 years! The teachers are phenomenal and have given him such a strong foundation that will positively impact him for the rest of his life! Daily his teachers shower him with love, thoughtfully engage his curious mind, and have taught him things like how to enjoy tummy time, how to use utensils and cups, how to use gentle hands with peers, and they are now potty training him! The curriculum is on point - he is physically active, crafting, exploring nature, dancing and singing to music, etc. This is not a daycare where little ones are idle/watching shows/tablets - our baby is constantly learning and growing through movement, and our family is so thankful to partner with his teachers throughout his journey! Shout outs to: Infant team: Ms. Olivia, Ms. Lataeh, Ms. Teressa, Mr. Joe, Ms. Elana (and past: Ms. Hannah, Ms. Irelys, Ms. Josepha, Ms. Sa’Mya, Ms. Charlotte) Toddler team: Ms. Lataeh, Ms. Gi’Vonna, Mr. Riley, Mr. Nick, Ms. Kay, Ms. Elana, Mr. Joe, Ms. Tiana, Ms. Vicki (and past: Ms. Izhané, Ms. Nady, Ms. Leah, Ms. Denise, Mr. Jeremy, Ms. Ray Alicia) Twos team: Ms. Paulette, Ms. Maryam, Ms. Gi’Vonna, Mr. Isaiah, Ms. Teressa, Mr. Joe Thank you all for all that you do for our babies!!

Our smush is 7 months and has been in the infant 2 classroom for about three months. She loves Ms Olivia and Ms Kiara. She gives them big smiles every morning when she sees them. I’ve been so impressed with the curriculum. Our baby paints it seems like every day, plays with water trays, has storytime, plays with sticky paper, you name it. You can tell they really try to engage the kids throughout the day. They’ve taught our baby how to hold a spoon, how to like a pacifier (lol), and even how to fall asleep on her own! The center is lovely and Andi and Joe at the front are great as well. We also love the other teachers; ms Shayla ms vivi ms Heather mr Harry etc. the photo updates each day bring us so much joy ! And the app is also really well made.

My son has been going for a year (started at 6 months) and loves it. I feel very comfortable dropping him off every day. He loves his teachers and friends at Bright Horizons. Everyone is very communicative and let's me know where he's having trouble. They have so many activities and things they are learning every day.

Our son has being attending Bright Horizons UC for about 1.5 years and we have had an overall wonderful experience. The new leadership team is working tirelessly to not only keep up with the demands of an expanding population but also consistently providing events and fun opportunities for all of the children to participate in and learn from. 100% recommend!

Our daughter has enjoyed daycare and learnt such good stuff much in the past year and a half she has been going here from great teachers like Mr. Riley, Ms. Mariam, Ms. Tanya, to name a few. We believe she has developed a lot of her polite mannerisms from them. They have been very communicative and cooperative and when we started potty training at home they did too. The location has gone through a bit of administrative chaos over the last 9 months with teachers being let go and enrollment increasing without seemingly the staffing to match it leaving the teachers that are there overburdened who do the best they can. Hopefully that is in the past now as new staff is being trained and hired. Regardless, they are always open to listen to special requests and grievances alike and are accommodating in terms of pickup and drop-off timings, dietary restrictions and the sorts.
