Pepstart, A Bright Horizons Center

My child has been at Bright Horizons Purchase for just over a year, starting in the infant program and now thriving in the toddler program. From day one, we’ve been impressed by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They provide a nurturing, play-based environment that feels safe and supportive, while also focusing on early childhood education. I especially appreciate the commitment to hands-on learning opportunities. My child's days are filled with thoughtful activities with an emphasis on development through play. We’ve seen incredible growth in our child—socially, emotionally, and cognitively—and he loves going every day. We receive a weekly curriculum for what the class will cover in the following week, and real time updates and pictures throughout the day detailing what the class is doing. It is extremely comforting and reassuring to get those updates throughout the day. The communication with parents is excellent, and it’s clear the team truly cares about each child’s well-being and progress. We couldn’t recommend Bright Horizons at Purchase more for families looking for a place that combines loving care with a strong educational foundation.

My child has been attending this daycare for almost 3 years, and we couldn’t be happier! The teachers are attentive and communicate well throughout the day. Activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and I love that they focus on both play and learning. The space is always clean and secure, and my child comes home happy and excited to return the next day. The hours are great for 2 working parents with demanding jobs and all food is provided so we do not need to worry about packing snacks or lunches every day.

Both my children have attended Bright Horizons at Purchase for the last 9 years so it's become a second home to our family. We are grateful for the education, love and commitment to their growth and their development. My older daughter transitioned seamlessly to Kindergarten with their preparation and I anticipate my younger will have the same experience. We endlessly appreciate all they've done for them over the years.

The teachers and staff provide a safe and nuturing enviroment that fosters fun and learning. The new facility after the recent move is beautiful. And we always feel our children are in the best hands while away from home. The administrative team earned our trust with overcommunication and logical policies in the wake of COVID quarantining. My eldest graduated out of the program after 4 years growing up at Bright Horizons and seamlessly transitioned to his new Kindergarten. Our youngest started at only 4 months old and is given the best care and attention. Our family’s experience has been very positive in many aspects and this should be a top consideration if you are looking for a day care or preschool in the area.

Bright Horizons at Purchase is an exceptional early childhood center that truly sets the standard for care, communication, and professionalism. From the moment you walk in, the environment feels warm, organized, and purposefully designed to support both children and families. Heather, the director, consistently demonstrates outstanding administrative skills and problem-solving abilities. She handles challenges with calm confidence and always puts the children’s well-being first. At the front desk, Nicole and Rosalyn are welcoming, informative, and incredibly helpful—always on top of requirements and ready to offer support, even when things get complicated. The classroom experience is just as impressive. Lupe and Angela are not only skilled and attentive teachers, but genuinely kind and loving individuals. The often-used phrase “treat the children as if they were your own” is not just said here—it’s lived every day. It’s clear that each child is seen, nurtured, and encouraged to thrive. We’re so grateful to have our child in such a thoughtful and capable community. Highly recommended!
