Long Ridge Child Development Center

We love Bright Horizons at Long Ridge! Our little one has been enrolled for over a year and we've watched her absolutely flourish during her time at the center. The staff is friendly, supportive, and wants nothing but the absolute best for our daughter. The facilities are beautiful, spacious, and there is there is an exceptional dedication to cleanliness and health during these challenging times. We know our daughter is safe and happy each and every day. She loves her school and has made so many little friends (and we've also enjoyed making parent friends!) We highly recommend Bright Horizons and any family would be lucky to join such an incredible place!

I'm ending an epic run of almost 11 years at Bright Horizons Long Ridge that has seen all three of my children enrolled. The center has truly been a second home for my family and prepared everyone for a successful transition to Elementary school. The center remains open in crazy weather (yes, even during Hurricane Sandy) and I know I can count on them to keep my little ones safe and entertained. The space itself is bright, open, warm and welcoming. I am sad that I won't see the friendly faces of all the staff daily anymore but will certainly be back for backup care throughout the year.

As a first time mom, I was torn between the decision to send my 3 month old to full time daycare vs. hiring a nanny to give her one-on-one care. I have no regrets after her experience at Bright Horizons Long Ridge. From day one I knew that she was in good hands in the Infant room with Melissa, Christina, and all the other staff. They were so in tune with her needs, and helped us through all the big transitions like starting solids, dropping naps, using sippy cups, and napping on a cot instead of crib as she got older. They even taught her sign language which helped a lot at home! With their guidance she reached all her milestones with flying colors and had a seamless transition to the toddler room when the time came. Her interactions with the other children in the classroom were positive for her development as well. Overall I can’t recommend this program enough, my daughter loved going to “school” here and will miss it now that we moved to a new town!

We've been with the Bright Horizons family since September 2019 and have been at the Long Ridge location for about 5 months. We intend to transition my daughter from their toddler program to their preschool program when she turns 3 years old. After touring a couple of other daycare / early education facilities, we found Bright Horizons most aligned with our values. We love that they encourage independence, apply gentle discipline techniques, and use a diverse STEAM curriculum. The 4:1 student to teacher ratio is also the ideal environment where I felt our daughter would get the attention she needed. The COVID protocols they have in place have been effective and gives us an extra reassurance that our daughter's safety is their top priority. The extra "take-home" activities they encourage you do with your child as well as the monthly parent/staff meeting is a nice addition. We also look forward to seeing the photos & notes the teachers take throughout the day which we view via an app. I highly recommend this place for your child's early years.

We absolutely love bright horizons at long ridge! Our son has been there since he was 18 months old and will be transitioning to preschool next month at the same location. Our daughter started a few weeks ago at 14 months old. We sent her at an earlier age than our son without any hesitation and knowing that she would be in the best care. The environment is safe, clean and taking extra precautions during this challenging time due to COVID. We get weekly emails about things happening at the center. The teachers are phenomenal, dedicated and teach the children how to be independent. The bright horizons app is wonderful as it keeps us updated throughout the day with daily notes and pictures of their activities. During this challenging time, the center sets up zoom sessions monthly or whenever requested so we can chat with the teachers about our kids which has been so beneficial. We always felt safe with our son there and knew it would be the perfect place for our daughter as well. We especially love that the center focuses on sensory, gross and fine motor play throughout their daily activities. They spend plenty of time outdoors exploring which is so important for the little ones. Both of our children love this center and we couldn’t be happier with the staff and facility. We highly recommend any family to join! Thank you for being the best!
