Unfortunately you pay your babysitters to watch just your child more than this company pays its teachers to watch an entire classroom. The teacher turnaround rate through the years really reflects it. I hope these women get the respect and financial compensation they deserve.

Wonderful place for kiddos! My son started at Bright Horizon at Rhode Island hospital a few months ago. I didn’t know what to expect with his transition and with Covid and everything going on. They made it so smooth and stress free! I am impressed with the leadership, the organization, and most importantly the genuine care and love they have for the kids. They adhere to all safety measures and they are transparent and communicate greatly. My son is thriving, I can’t be happier. He looks forward to go back on Mondays and I look forward to drop off and pick up to see the lovely smiling faces of all the staff. We love you and thank you so much!!

We’re very happy with BH at RIH services and highly recommend it!!! Our daughter wen there for 3 years and absolutely loved it! Now our son goes there and loves it too! The staff is super attentive and friendly, teachers are responsible, fun and well trained to work with children and focus on their development! They have an app where you can check pictures and activities daily, that’s a plus! The classrooms and playgrounds are cleaned constantly and always look organized! And last, Bright Horizons has an unique program that covers all areas of development in a child which I personally love it! This daycare/preschool was such a great for our kids, can’t recommend enough!!!

High quality and expensive. My work was such that my daughter was one of the youngest babies there. I was very torn initially dropping her off, but the second she started going to daycare she became social, interested in other people, slept at night and was giggling and smiley. You might point out that developmentally maybe she would have done those things at that time anyway, but I know that daycare has made her a better and more well-rounded person than I could do alone.PROS: Dedicated staff. A clean and well-run facility. Supportive of breastfeeding, supportive of drop-ins any time by parents. Supportive of cloth diapers though I didn’t do that. Staff members that stick around a long time so low turnover. An app for your phone where you can leave updates about the last time the baby ate, slept and was changed. They do the same and you get photos and updates which are sent to your app real-time. A well-thought-out curriculum (at least for infants up to toddlers) e.g. brown bear by Eric Carle for animals and colors. An ocean unit, a camping unit, an itsy bitsy spider unit for Halloween, with lots of photo updates for parents who might sometimes worry they are missing out. As a first time mom I felt like I had an appropriate amount of prodding from the teachers in a good way when it was ok to introduce foods or a cup, or to just put her down for a nap instead of rocking to sleep. They were like parenting coaches on occasion in a non-judgmental way. They hardly ever close for weather and have good hours (630-6pm). I could go on but these are what come to mind. Oh yeah, and they taught my daughter the signs for hungry, more and all done. She was talking to us for months before our sign language speaking neighbor pointed it out.CONS: Expensive, as in significantly more than our rent. I hope this means the teachers are well compensated because they earn it. I wish every working family had access to quality childcare because having this peace of mind allows me to work knowing that she is not suffering because of my absence. The cost is pretty much the only downside.
