Bright Horizons at San Jose

So far so good! My 3 month old has been enrolled for about a month. They seem to be doing a great job.

We continue to be happy with the care provided here. The staff is attentive and communicates a lot with the parents. Every day a summary (with pictures) of what the children did that day is emailed to the parents. If I ever have a question or concern, the staff addresses it immediately and follows up. This is truly a quality, caring center.

I have had all 3 of my children (now 9, 7, and 5) at this center since they were each 6 weeks old. I work across the street and I would go over to the center every day to nurse my kids on my lunch hour for the first year of their lives. Yes, I was in the center, observing the staff, every weekday for 3 years! I love the open door policy: drop in any time, even without notice, to check up on or visit your child.
It has been 9 years since we started at the center, and my husband and I have not regretted one minute of it! Our kids have been through all of the classrooms — Infant, Toddlers, Twos, Preschool, Kinder Prep, and even their private Kindergarten and School Age Summer Camp programs. All of the teachers in each of the classrooms have been loving, caring and attentive. My kids have learned so much, made great friends, learned how to interact socially with kids and adults, been exposed to diverse people, foods and educational topics, and have truly enjoyed their experience at the center (as have my husband and I, of course!). The menu is great, and not having to pack a lunch and snacks everyday is a huge plus!
Everyday, I get an email with pictures and narrative about what my children have been doing that day. Several times a year, there are parent-​teacher conferences where the teachers discuss the progress my children have made in the previous few months. My 2 older children currently attend a private elementary school, and I feel that Bright Horizons prepared them very well for elementary education.
I have been a member of the Parent Partnership Group since we joined the center. The group meets monthly with the director of the center, Katherine, who is always very attentive to any needs and concerns of all of the families at Bright Horizons. The entire staff is amazing. Bright Horizons at San Jose has been a second home to my family and we are so fortunate to have discovered this center nine years ago!

Our daughter has been attending the day care on a drop in basis going on 2 years. She has enjoyed having fun here and the staff is very help and open to questions.

When I first walked into this place I knew it was the right place for my daughter. The staff there is extremely professional in every way. The security there is enough to keep your mind at ease. The place at lunch reminds me of my moms cooking because it smells so good. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants the best for their children.

Our daughter has been to this facility for four months. She is three years old and her teachers are Miss. shefali and Miss. Wendy. She absolutely adores both of them. Our daughter personality really blossomed under their care.
The staff is always willing to listen to your concern, you can tell that everybody is trying to the best they can to take care of your child. Thy have social events for you to meet other parents. They even organize play at Montgomery theatre which my daughter and I utterly enjoyed.
I am so glad that we have found this learning center.
Thank you!

I tried this center out because my current home daycare provider was in an accident and I needed emergency backup child care for my 10^th month old. Never take your infant to the Bright Horizons San Jose. First of all, the hallway to the «classrooms» reminded me of a hospital hallway the way it was set up. Doors on both sides, food push trays along the walls, and then when I entered the nursery it was dirty.
This afternoon when I picked her up, I stood there staring at a huge spit up on a mattress that was on the floor for 5 minutes at least until one of the teachers sitting right next to it was asked to clean it by another teacher who didn’t notice it either until I was staring at it.
Also this morning, this same mattress on the floor had hair on it and it was only 8:30am when I dropped off my daughter. Shouldn’t everything be clean in the morning? Never going back there! Also, the infants were sharing food back and forth and touching each others food. they were also trying to make my 10^th month old sit in a chair to eat at a table instead of a little high chair. And they had a basket in this low table that was full of food, such as english muffins, etc and the infants that were able to pull up to the table were able to reach it touch the food, pull it out, etc.

I am very happy with Bright Horizons. They plan a lot of great activities for the children. The staff are cheerful and very helpful. If a problem does come up Katherine and Michelle always listen and come up with solutions. I am very happy with my son’s teachers. They do a great job of communicating what your child does/​learns during the day. Best of all, my child loves going there!

I have had two children attend this center since infancy, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of care and education they have both received. My son, now in first grade at a private school is doing very well. My daughter is currently in PreK at Bright Horizons and her teachers are VERY attentive to her and have done a great job of challenging her and giving her many different learning opportunities. Everyone at the center, teachers and administrators, are very friendly and helpful.

I am very happy with this center. The teachers always let me know how my daughters day has been and how her progress is improving. She is always happy to go to school. It is very clean, and very organized. I highly reccommend this school. All the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The director is always there if i have any concerns.

My daughter has attended this center for almost 4 years now, since she was 5 months old. I was shocked to read Jennifer S’s review of this center. After reading the review, I wondered if Jennifer S. intended to review another center and mistakenly placed her review here, because her review sounds so unlike the center my daughter attends. I can’t imagine the center staff not calling a parent if their child was crying; I have been called many times to come and pick my daughter up when she has been sick or has hurt herself. And the very idea of the center director «scolding» anyone is ludicrous to me; the director is one of the most calm, even tempered people I’ve ever met. She is exactly the type of person who should direct a daycare program and she does it wonderfully. I am part of a parent partnership group for the daycare, so I have had a lot of interaction with the director, and she has never been anything but respectful, attentive, and kind to me and everyone else I’ve seen her interact with. Most importantly, my daughter loves her «school,» and I love the progress she is making there. I never worry about her. I know that she is being well cared for at Bright Horizons.
