I have had two children in the center for the past 2 years. I researched many child care facilities in my area, and Bright Horizons is the absolute best for working families! The center is safe, secure, organized and have been very flexible in meeting my family's needs. The teachers and staff are caring, and professional. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the structured curriculum. My oldest was more than prepared to begin Kindergarten this year! The transition to KG was seamless for her, and her teacher commented on how much prior knowledge she came into KG with! My children absolutely LOVE school and I give all the credit to Bright Horizons at Kings College!

I enrolled my 3 kids at this Center after a bad experience in another Center. I was very anxious about having to chose another daycare! I was welcomed at the door by the Director with a smile, and I immediately started to feel some relief to my anxiety. I was given a tour, I was not rushed, and all of my questions were answered. That was in late 2015. We have attended this Center ever since! The staff here is amazing! They have an honest desire to see their students achieve goals, and be as prepared as they can to begin Kindergarten. Not to mention the Preschool Graduation this Center holds for these children is breathtaking. The teachers, and the Director are more like Family! This is an exceptional Center!!

My daughter Kinny has been going here since she was 3 months since they have come under new management it has gone completely down hill. They closed my daughters class with no notice not even allowing her to say goodbye to her friends and teachers. Ms. Maggie and Ms. Ruth did an amazing job with her and wish my daughter would have been able to say good bye properly. Now I am without care and have been waitlisted for most quality daycares. If any parent from the young toddler day care reads this and is interested in setting up a farewell play date for the kiddies please let me know.

The Bright Horizons at King's College Early Learning Center is fantastic! The obvious convenience with location is ideal, but the relationships that have been built with our children, teachers, and directors are unbelievable. Our kids love coming to school everyday and learning something new. We can't say enough about the experience we've had here and highly recommend this location to parents in the future!

Kings College Early Learning Center has been simply amazing! During a pandemic, I continue to feel safe leaving my son in the care of each and every one of its Staff members. They continue to make sure they keep my family connected during these uncertain times, and are always willing to help in any way they can.
