Bright Horizons/Montessori @ Interlocken

This is a great place for our son to play and learn. It’s very convenient for us location-wise. Victoria, Dani, Steph, Shelley, Kyra are great directors and teachers. It’s a huge pity to see it disappear in January 2026.

This school has had such a profound and positive impact on my twins. I am so impressed and am so thankful that we are able to attend. My twins were able to stay home until just after they were 2. My daughter started drawing really impressive pictures during this time and we were so excited to see her creativity blossom. She was adding strings to circles and calling them balloons and creating her own bugs. We enrolled her in primrose before she was 2.5. They have a very rigid and structured curriculum. Art at the school was very controlled to minimize mess. They might only have one or two kids doing art at a time and they would tell the kids exactly what to draw and how to do it. The creative spark in my baby girl died. She stopped drawing pictures. She still loved to color, but she was basically just filling things in. She and her brother were there for almost a year and started to tell me how much they hated their school, so we began our search for something different. We found Bright Horizons. We've been there for about 2 months. Art is exciting and messy. My sweet girl comes home covered in paint and happy. But even more exciting, in the last week, she has started drawing pictures again. Rainbows, butterflies, people, birds, snails, stick bugs. Its such a sudden change. It's like the spark is alive again. Add to that, my son is absolutely thrilled to play with cars all day and ride bikes outside. They do experiments on apples, create endothermic reactions, watch butterflies -and- ladybugs transform, make snacks for themselves, garden, and play hide-and-seek. They have freedom to explore the things they love and they're excited and happy to be at school. When I ask the kids what they like most about their teachers at Bright Horizons, they tell me "they play with me." In my opinion, that's what school for a 3-year-old should be. Play and exploration. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely have started them at Bright Horizons from the beginning.

Clean and spacious daycare with caring teachers. My kid joined the center early 2023 and we have had great experience so far. Our teacher Ms Dani is highly qualified, talented and nurturing with the kids. My son looks forward going to class and always wants to stay a little longer when it’s pick up time.

My kid loves the teachers here, they are all great. Teachers are so caring and dedicated. My kid started in the toddler class and now in the minis, has been a great experience. I would highly recommend this for any families looking for a clean, safe environment for your children’s learning.

My daughter attended the baby room in 2016, after experiencing three other daycares since this is by far and away the best daycare we have attended. Ms. Quiana is amazing, she is confident, engaging, steady, and loving with the babies, which should give you the reassurance of knowing your baby is well cared for! They create a schedule (napping well and without a pacifier by 5 or 6 months) and start to teach independence early, this allows the children to explore with confidence. I have asked every other daycare if the babies get to spend time outside (like they do here) I always get a weird look. Whenever I picked my daughter up at the end of the day one or two teachers were laying on the floor engaging the kids. Please choose this place, it will be one of the best decisions you make for you and your child.
