I know taking care of children is one of the toughest jobs out there and no one center is perfect…read morebut after leaving bright horizons POTA, our daughter (and us, her parents) is so much happier. This was our first experience with daycare and Bright Horizons was supposed to be one of the better ones so I just assumed that the problems and inconveniences we had were all a part of process. Now that our daughter goes to another school, I realized that Bright Horizons POTA has a few flaws. I especially dreaded pick up and drop off due to no fault of their own. Bright Horizons POTA is just in an inconvenient location. Pick ups and drop offs could take upwards of 30 minutes each! The parking is on the fifth floor and the daycare is in the basement. The parking garage is supposed to read your toll tag when exiting but this was inoperable so we had to wait to get our parking validated each time. It just took too much time waiting for parking validation, waiting for elevators, etc. As a working parent, I wanted to spend that precious time with my child. At pick ups in the evenings, the front desk attendant was never at the desk because she also served as a float for whatever classroom was needing a teacher as they left for the day. This was especially problematic getting parking validated or if I needed to call. I tried calling once later in the day during business hours and no one ever answered. When I got there and told them, the front desk attendant just told me that THEY would call ME if there was a problem. In the beginning, I was also given a business card with the wrong number on it. The director ended up giving me her cell phone number which I really appreciated but she was not there all day. The daytime teachers were great but the children had different teachers in the afternoons and it seemed like there was little continuity with this. Every time I picked up my daughter, someone new was watching her. I felt like my daughter was constantly with strangers half of the day. One of them even asked if I was the nanny when I was picking up my daughter one afternoon. I liked that they used an app to provide updates but after the first month, they no longer took photos of our daughter and we had to continually ask to see pictures. One afternoon, my daughter had a black eye when I picked her up! A BLACK EYE!!!!!!! I never had any concerns for my daughters safety while at bright horizons and I'm sure it was an accident but what bothered me is that no one seemed to notice. The biggest take away I had from our experience at Bright Horizons is that I will never put any of my children into a center in which they are expected to sleep in the same classroom that other children are playing/screaming/crying. I feel horrible for making my daughter suffer through that. The school we use now has a separate, quiet area for sleeping children. I feel like I'm a pretty low-maintenance parent and the whole time we sent our daughter to Bright Horizons, I only had one request which was to allow her to attempt to feed herself and this was met with resistance. They even sent a photo of her being spoon-fed by her teacher while the teacher was holding her arms down. When I brought up my concerns about this, the front desk attendant said that she would pass them on to my daughter's teachers. I was never once offered a conference or meeting with my daughter's teachers. All information between parents and teachers had to be transmitted through the front desk attendant. To Bright Horizons credit, our daughter did develop a love of books while attending. She was able to turn pages from a very young age and is still book-obsessed. If you only need care in the mornings AND you work in POTA or surrounding buildings, then Bright Horizons would be a good choice. If you need care throughout the whole day and/or you need to drive to POTA just for childcare I would recommend against this place.

I was offered this company as backup daycare so we used them for 2 weeks. The staff is very…read morefriendly and helpful. The daycare itself is smaller which is a plus. They update your will a report at the end of the day. Their COVID parameters are also CDC compliant. I give this an average rating because the location and accessibility is miserable. Unless you work directly downtown, it is an inconvenient location that easily takes an additional 30min out of your day from just dropping off and picking up. 30min doesn't sound like alot but it makes a big difference when you only have 1.5 hr after work for your child before their bedtime.

I feel like she's well-prepared to start Kinder in the fall. I'm also impressed with the advancements I've seen in my son as he's progressed through the toddler program into the 2s. All of the teachers make an effort to know every child's name and I think that makes them feel very special and included. I appreciate that they went through the process to become accredited and have a strong curriculum in place (while leaving plenty of room for the kids to still have fun). It's also nice that being in a federal building makes you feel like the kids are very safe. There are numerous security measures in place to finally get through the center's door, but nothing that would scare the kids. All of the building's security officers are so sweet with the kids!

She learned a lot, and I knew the staff cared for her on a personal level. I would recommend this center to anyone. My biggest problem was enforcing policies across the board for all children and parents. I felt like my daughter was scratched WAY TOO MUCH! I understand kids scratch, but if the nail clipping policy is enforced and parents are required to cut their daughter's or son's nails, scratches would happen less. Teachers should have nail clippers available at drop-off so parents can clip their children's nails. All in all, whenever I had a critique or comment for staff, it was always heard and respected.

It's hard to leave your babies in someone else's care but Lala and Coco make it easier. They always greet the babies with love and excitement and you can tell that they truly love the babies. If you're looking for a place that will sleep train your baby, feed them home cooked meals everyday, bathe them, exercise them, develop them, get them in a routine, and love them then this is the best you will find! Also, she has birthday parties, photo shoots, lots of crafts and keepsakes from the babies. Plus an instagram page that constantly keeps you up to date on all of the cute things they're up to everyday. We were lucky to get in twice with the long waiting list that Lala's has. Thank you Lala and Coco for taking such great care of our baby girls!

In the summer, they have splash day once a week where they fill little kiddy pools up with about an inch of water and let them splash around. It's adorable. Added bonus- this school provides formula and food for the kids! I wasn't initially looking for a school that offered that, but wow, it sure is an added bonus. I get weekly emails of photos of my son and a little tid bit of what they worked on for the week, it couldn't be any cuter- letters, animals, numbers, colors, friendship, you name it, they work on it.
