Bright Horizons @ Waltham

The whole infant team is absolutely fantastic! The teachers were so caring and kind, and I always felt completely at ease leaving my baby with them each day. We’re really sad he couldn’t stay longer due to our relocation, but I’m so grateful to all the staff for making his time there so happy and meaningful

Our son has been with the Bright Horizon family for 2+ years, having started with the infant class and now graduating from toddler into preschool. What makes the Waltham center special are its people. Daniela leads an amazing team, everyone is professional, warm and they genuinely care about education and early development. Our son walks in the front door full of smiles and leaves even happier. I should also mention that we felt very comfortable returning after the Covid closure and appreciated the communication and flexibility throughout. We are incredibly grateful for the experience our son has been afforded at BH Waltham and would definitely recommend it to other parents. Thank you

My family has been with Bright Horizons in Waltham for 3 yrs and couldn’t be happier. Both our children started in the infants program at ~3mo.; our older son has also gone through the Toddler program, and is now in Preschool. When looking for “the right” childcare prior to our first son being born we decided to go with a center vs. nanny as we wanted our children to have a structured curriculum of fun learning and socialization with other children. It was also very important to us that not only the teachers be caring and great with the children, but also the administration. This couldn’t be more true of Bright Horizons in Waltham! Everyone who works there is truly amazing and The Director is not only super responsive to any parent needs, but very much involved in the classrooms and knowing all the children. This is not something you see at many centers, despite what they might say during your tour, and it’s part of what makes this place so special. When the center re-opened during Covid, we like many debated what would be best for our children, our younger son having been born just a few months prior, and decided to return/enroll our infant. The communication on health and safety protocols, measures put in place to keep the children safe (staff wear masks, daily temp checks, regular sanitizing etc.) and parent partnership calls/weekly newsletters makes us feel our children are safe and able to enjoy some sense of normalcy in a very not normal time. Hearing the laughter coming from our children at pick up and our older son telling us all the fun he had with his friends playing, doing art, going on the playground... it is just so wonderful and reaffirms that we made the right decision. We can’t thank everyone at Bright Horizons enough for all the above and beyond care. Our kids are having so much fun and we are thrilled with their development. THANK YOU!!!

Our son has been attending the Bright Horizons at Waltham location since he was 7 months old. He started in the infant room, is now in the pre-school classroom. I cannot say enough how great this center has been in terms of the care provided. The entire staff is dedicated in taking good care and providing a nurturing environment for the children. The teachers and the staff take care of the children as their own family. As first time parents, we always looked to them for advice and were always happy with the help we received. The curriculum is also so well rounded. They have the best plans for kids all ages to teach new things and have fun at the same time. In this crazy covid era, one of the most challenging decisions as working parents for us was to send our son back to the center, but seeing all the safety protocols put in place. we felt encouraged to send him back. Working at home full time with a toddler was not easy. But once he was back at school, we what an amazing job the staff was doing to keep the kids safe, that it put us at ease. Not only that, their open communication about any Covid related updates, just shows their transparency and honesty. Not only do they have protocols in place for safety of the kids, they teach the kids the right things to do which is beyond amazing. Our son is also so much happier going back and being in the company of his friends. The amount of respect and appreciation I have for all the teachers and the staff of this center, cannot truly be expressed in words. I say this all the time, and I will say this again- the only reason I can do my job, is because I am mentally at peace that my child is safe and happy. He is thriving there and learning new things everyday! So, thank you again all the staff for taking such good care and giving us peace of mind.

We have been a part of the BH at Waltham family for over two years, starting in the infant program and working our way up to preschool. Our son had separation anxiety for a while during drop offs, and we never once worried about leaving him due to the love and comfort that his teachers gave him. They really got to know him, and what worked best for him, not simply the situation, which was extremely comforting. Our children absolutely adore their teachers, both present and past, and often talk about them when we are at home. As parents, we love that we can check up on our children throughout the day on their app, and our kids love seeing pictures of themselves at school, and then telling us about what they are doing and learning. We have truly loved our experience at the center every step of the way, and plan to keep our children enrolled right up until they enter Kindergarten.
