Our 5yo attended from 3 months old until she started kindergarten this fall. Our 13mo has been going since he was 5 months old. We have loved IS. The teachers are so lovely and care so much about the kids. They genuinely enjoy cultivating young learners, fostering their curiosity, and helping to make them into good humans. The center itself is wonderful—spacious, clean, and kid focused. And the center director, Ms. Jacinta, is awesome.

Our kids have been attending Bright Horizons/ Innovation Station for over 6 months now, and we have been very pleased. The kids adore their teacher, Ms. Maya, and Ms. Kimberly, and are happy to go to daycare every day. Despite its numerous classrooms, it feels like family - most admin staff and teachers know our family and make all kids feel welcome and warm.

My kids have been at Innovation Station for 2 years now and I cannot speak higher praise about the staff and facility. I feel confident my children are in safe and capable hands when I leave them there every morning. My daughter and son have both thrived there, learning so much! I know my daughter will be well prepared for kindergarten as she continues through the preschool program.

I don’t have enough words to properly express how much Innovation Statement has enriched our sons’ young lives. From the moment we walk in every day, every teacher greets our boys with a smile, a question, and a genuine wish for a great day. We are always in awe how civil the classrooms are, from the youngest toddlers to the oldest preschoolers. The teachers always kindly and diligently enforce good behavior, etiquette, creativity, socialization, and of course, education for these young minds. We never say “daycare” when talking about Innovation Station— it’s school. These children are treated with real respect at this stage of their rapid development. They are nurtured emotionally and intellectually from the get-go, and I know that each teacher is genuinely loved by my children. Our boys, aged 2 and 4, are far more advanced in speech and emotional intelligence than any other children we know outside Innovation Station…which, for parents of toddlers, is a miracle. Just today, my youngest was able to express his frustration at home verbally, and we actually avoided a meltdown (thanks, Ms. Tasha!). My older boy, through the tutelage of Ms. Daiana Jalali, drew and identified the solar system with crayons, and brought home a Play-doh moon with pebble “craters.” I see joy and concentration in all the photos the teachers take so much time to document for us. We not only are grateful that they are learning real skills and having fun, but also setting them up for success at home and eventually in kindergarten. Thanks to the marvelous administration through Jacinta Nickson’s top-notch recruiting, we truly feel our kids are getting the absolute best education available to this age group.
