This place is amazing. The teachers are dedicated, attentive, and clearly love their work. The classrooms are clean, bright, calm, and welcoming. My 2 year old son absolutely loves it here and I would not take him anywhere else.

We’ve had a wonderful experience at the Lamont-Doherty Child Development Center. The Director is amazing, and our son’s teachers are phenomenal. Our son has some scary food allergies, so sending him to daycare has been stressful in the past, but the staff at Lamont are incredibly diligent and well-trained around medical issues. They have our complete trust. Our son also adores being at the center (he sometimes asks to go back to school after we get home at night!), and he’s learning a tremendous amount. Great communication, great learning environment, and great community – highly recommend.

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience since starting my daughter in the toddler room here. Under the incredible direction of Ms. Lauretta, you will find a truly wonderful staff who care deeply about the children and go out of their way to make them comfortable and happy. Ms. Carol and Ms Jen in the toddler room are exceptional. My daughter is happy every time we arrive. It is very much a family experience at the center, after starting my toddler and seeing how great it is, I was quick to enroll my infant as well. Through the app, you are kept updated on your child's every move. I am so happy to see my babies grow and thrive at this great place!!

I came across Bright Horizons Lamont when I was looking for backup childcare. Lamont center far exceeds my expectations. Ms. Sonia, Ms. Ellen in the pre-school room and Ms. Lauretta, the director, are among the most caring and warm teachers we have ever met. My 3-year-old son loves coming here. The center gives kids healthy snacks, has plenty of indoor and outdoor activities and sends carefully written daily reports and tons of pictures!Despite that we have other backup childcare options in my area, I am so impressed with Lamont that I've decided to drive my son from White Plains to here whenever we have needs.

Both of my children attended the Lamont-Doherty Bright Horizons and I cannot recommend it more highly. Every family I know who has had their child at the center days that no other school compares. There is only one class per group (Infant, Toddler & Pre-School), each led by highly qualified and loving teacher who each have 20 plus year experience. In a field with high turnover, this is an amazing benefit and those teachers shepherd both children and parents through each phase of early childhood with highly personalized care. Students and families benefit from the small, intimate setting where everyone knows each other. The facility is on a private tree-lined property with multiple large outdoor play spaces. As a result, the children spend a great deal of times outdoors in all weather and seasons. The curriculum successfully prepared my son for school, and he loves reading, writing and learning. Lastly, and most importantly in the time of COVID-19, the center closely follows health and safely guidelines and you can trust they will keep your children safe and healthy.

My 2 sons went to this center from the time they were infants at 5 months old, until they graduated. I can honestly say that these were some of the best days of the boys lives (and ours too)! My eldest son was in a different daycare prior for a few days and what I saw at the prior center sickened me to the point that I though daycare would not be an option. My wife and I stumbled upon this place through some people that we trusted so we figured we would give it a shot. Wow, what a difference. Beginning in infants, the teachers were so caring and loving. We watched as the boys grew up, learned to walk, talk and were taught a lot more than I would have expected. Once they moved on to the toddler class, Carol, the head toddler teacher took over and was also so very loving and affectionate to the boys. After a few years, they moved onto the preschool class with the ever so excellent Miss Sonia. I wish I had the words to describe how much my boys, my wife and I love her. She is an amazing person, teacher & friend. The love she showed my boys and the rest of the class was unbelievable. She them both so much and we will always be grateful for her. I will end by saying this - If you are even considering a daycare, Bright Horizons at Lamont Doherty is the one for you!! Stop looking and just chose this place. You will not be disappointed!!!!

Our 17 month old has recently started attending BH-Lamont, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. The teachers are extremely caring and seem to be genuinely invested in our son’s development. So happy we found this gem of a place!

I’ve been an admin at LDEO & the amazing things that I have heard about this center and especially about Sonia are phenomenal. The children absolutely love her and the attention and education they receive is unmeasurable. The parents are so thankful that they can rest easy knowing their children are well taken care of.

This place is a hidden gem in the middle of the Palisades. The center has only one class per age group (infants, toddlers, and pre-K), with dedicated staff with tons of experience. Both my children attended the center since infancy and they blossomed thanks to the personalized care and lovable attention from all the teachers.

I went to the center for a visit with my friend we were impressed with the center. The center is surrounded by trees and nature. Parking is available at the center. The center has the highest quality ratings and is accredited by one of the leading early childhood association Naeyc. I highly recommend the center to anyone looking for consistent care in a warm and nurturing environment.

I cannot recommend Lamont and its staff enough. My two children went there and we had the pleasure of experiencing all of the classrooms (there are only 3!). The teachers in each room are just so warm, loving, kind and truly became an extension of our family. The center also provides healthy food options, lots of outdoor time and rich learning experiences. I'm grateful for this school every day and my kids, who are now in elementary school, continue to remember fondly the time they spent there and all the teachers they love.

You can not put a price to quality, care, and the feeling of being a working parent and not have to worry about your children when you drop them off! I am forever grateful for the love, care, learning, and high quality of care given here with Bright Horizons. From feeding them healthy food, outdoor playtime, discussions, and the feel of family, you can not ask for anything better!! Even in the warm weather months to have them wash their towels and clothes in a washer machine exceeds any facility I have ever been to!! We truly miss Ms. Sonia and crew now that my youngest has started elementary school. The Montessori type style of learning has left my children thriving in school and social aspects. I have never felt my children so loved and taken care of than here. Thank you Bright Horizons family❤️
