My son had a wonderful time at Papillon Bright Horizons. The Directors as well as the classroom staff/teachers were communicative, supportive, asked about his preferences and needs and accommodated those, gave us daily updates, and really made my son feel at home. I feel like he thrived at this daycare and I really appreciated their structured days. He was always safe and happy and if he had a rougher day, they were very supportive. Only potential con is that it's a big pricier than other facilities, but you are paying for top quality care. I would have my son or future children go back here again in a heartbeat!
Teachers and staff are amazing. Really caring and thoughtful about our child’s development. We’ve been going here for more than 2 yrs and it’s been great. Our son has really grown. Teachers like Yanet, Marisol, Melissa and Jenny have been great! Director Jenny has been a wonderful leader and so happy we got to reconnect at this BH with her.
So this is the Bay area. Why am I saying this: #1. It's expensive. Tuition is high as expected, so don't be surprised. If you can accept your high rent, high housing price in the bay area, why not the day care? Are they not supposed to make as much as your landlords or mortgage banks? #2. Teachers change. Well, I think nobody wants to leave but where do you expect the teachers to stay? On the Peninsula? How far are these 20 and 30 yr olds supposed to live to come to work everyday without breaking their bank. Overall, most teachers stay. Some dynamic changes expected. No big deal. Same thing for life. #3. They try. Snacks, meals, activities etc, very comprehensive. Most things get addressed. Problems get solved pretty quickly. Jenny is business savvy and socially responsible. Teachers Brenda, Nancy, Huriya are amazing! My son had spent one year here and leaving because we are relocating. But we never had any issues, and IMHO they are pretty good. Just wish less holidays so that parents could be more free but you know. Teachers gotta rest too.
We have spent the last 8 years at Papillon with two children and have loved our time there! The curriculum is fun and interesting, the food is delicious and nutritious, the teachers and administration are loving and want to provide a fun, safe and clean learning environment. Both of our kids have thrived at Papillon and we cannot recommend it more! 5 stars!
Immediately upon registering my child, we felt like family. The management team and all the teachers at this school genuinely care for the children and families that come through their doors. They provide meaningful and exceptional learning experiences while giving my child a healthy and safe place to grow. I one hundred percent recommend this school!
