Bright Horizons at Woodinville

We are coming up on 1 year of sending our son to daycare at Bright Horizons - Woodinville. We have nothing but the best to say about his care! The entire staff is warm and friendly.
The administrative and support staff remember us and take great interest in our little guy, which we appreciate since there are so many parents.
Chef Alejandro is fantastic and our son eats better lunches than I do.
The teachers intentionally work on motor and cognitive skills through different toys and fun activities. Our teachers have been an excellent source for advice and parenting tips. We have not experienced any teacher turnover.
The Bright Horizons app is such a wonderful way to stay connected to what my son is doing throughout the day.

We have been a part of the BH Woodinville center for over 4 years now and we are extremely pleased with the teachers, the staff and leadership. The care provided right from infant classroom all the way to kindergarten prep is amazing. Caring teachers, health curriculum, safe environment and more importantly an amazing team of leaders. I was amazed at how they took us through the pandemic in navigating through the various changes and keeping the parents informed. I would recommend this center to any new parents looking for a safe and caring place for their child!

Our son has been with Bright Horizons since he was 4 months old (now 20 months). To say we we have been thrilled with the program would be an understatement. Bright Horizons is communicative and collaborative in caring for and educating our child. It is evident how happy each teacher is to be a part of the BH community- they truly care for each child and nurture their individual strengths. As a working parent, it is a wonderful feeling to watch your child light up when you tell them it's time to go to school. It has been amazing to watch our son develop and grow throughout his time at BH- at 13 months he came home saying "airplane" and pointing at the sky- this wasn't something we taught him, and it was clear he learned it from his amazing teacher Ms Nicole. His language development and communication skills have exceeded our expectations and we know this is because of the education and social opportunities he has in the classroom. BH has also given us a community as parents and we have made wonderful friends and connections with other BH families. We love the Bright Horizons Woodinville team and could not imagine sending our son anywhere else.

My son has been going to Bright Horizons Woodinville for about 3 weeks; and I can say that I am highly impressed. My big requirement has been fulfilled in that my son's first teacher be an excellent one. My son has had absolutely zero issues or problems integrating into his preschool class. He very much likes his teachers. Due to the school's fine teachers and leadership, my son has been really engaging with his peers, classroom material, and educational toys. I am also quite delighted that he is starting to look forward to school in the mornings. Finally, with my son's easy and very happy start at school, my wife has become extremely happy and enthusiastic about our decision to go with Bright Horizons in Woodinville.

We recently returned to school/daycare after adjusting our child care plans in March 2020 once COVID hit. We were so nervous and anxious about our son's transition (given the limitations with COVID and not being able to sit with him the first few days) since he was out of daycare for over 9 months. BUT our nervousness was quickly relieve by the Bright Horizon's Woodinville staff and teachers, they are truly the BEST.
They provide wonderful, detailed updates everyday and the teachers have been amazing in spending extra time with our son as he gets adjusted. Not to mention, our son has been introduced to so many new activities and food! We can't imagine another scenario where he'd be able to learn and grow so much in such a short time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are beyond grateful for everyone there.

My son is truly thriving at Bright Horizons. His speech and vocabulary has improved a lot and he is eating so much better now. We were really concerned about his stranger anxiety but surprisingly he came over within few weeks with the help of amazing teachers who took great care & showered love like a family member. I am glad that the center focuses on overall development of the child and engages them in several wonderful activities. They have excellent teachers & extremely supportive leadership team! I highly recommend Bright Horizons!!

I have been working at Bright Horizons for the last year and a half. It provides a safe and enjoyable experience for kids. When I started work, I admitted my daughter in Bright Horizons because I knew she would feel at home here, and my daughter enjoys going to school. She has developed her communication and social skills far beyond my expectations. We have a well developed curriculum to nurture and develop their interests. Since COVID, the school has established safe policies such as temperature checks, hand sanitization and protective masks for kids, parents and staff. My daughter and I feel safe going to school everyday.

Bright Horizons at Woodinville offers a loving environment with an accredited learning program for ages 6 weeks to pre-Kindergarten. We've been with Bright Horizons for over 5 years and two kids - I will never go to another daycare! The price is higher than other daycares, yes, but it's beyond worth it! They are dedicated to the safety of the children, especially in the time of COVID; the teachers are incredibly caring and nurturing; and my kids are learning things I didn't expect they would before elementary school! Class ratios are super low, giving my kids lots of one-on-one time with their teachers, as well as enabling them to build tight friendships with their classmates. I can't speak highly enough about Bright Horizons at Woodinville - they're amazing!

My twins attend separate preschool classes at this school and it has been a blessing for our family. We started here during the pandemic and after 6 months there have not been any staff or children to test positive and this is unequivocally due to their thorough health screening and cleaning policies. Representation matters, I am so grateful that my boys have male teachers that teach them empathy, and provide nurturing support. They have very different needs and care each thriving, learning and love to go to school each day! The Director, Jacob and his staff are professional, welcoming and are even trying to cultivate a parent community, with virtual meetings monthly. I work in education at the U and this school checks all the boxes for an early chilcare center!

My son was one of the first children to be enrolled at the new Bright Horizons in Woodinville. We have been extremely happy with the care that he has been receiving there and can’t say enough great things about the center and staff. The center is state of the art and I’m constantly impressed by the fresh, healthy, and organic menu that the chef creates each week. The Center Director, Mr. Jacob, is running a fantastic program there and I don’t have to worry about anything knowing that he is in charge.

*Update 10/19/2021*
I just wanted to update this review since the COVID19 pandemic has changed so many things. I was feeling very nervous about bringing my child back to bright horizons after everything had been shutdown due to Covid. But I have to say that the staff here at Woodinville has really stepped up the health and safety game with smaller student to teacher ratios, extra sanitation practices, temperature checks at the door, and a very strict “no symptoms” policy where students, staff, and parents are turned away. This school has really made the transition into new normal as seemless as possible all while keeping their same passion for education and high level of care.

We moved our son from the Bellevue Bright Horizons to the brand new location in Woodinville. The Bellevue location was great but the new Woodinville location has been the perfect place for our family. The staff is amazing and full of passion for working with children. The new building is beautifully designed with lots of space in the classrooms, plenty of parking and a playground to get outside. We couldn’t be happier with our decision.

My child has been enrolled here for the past 6 months, and I am very pleased to say, this is a wonderful place with the most kind and loving teachers, and extremely helpful administration. My child is very happy, well taken care of and learning so many new things in a warm and cheerful environment. What more can one ask for! Thank you, Bright Horizons!

We loved everything about this center: the program, the teachers, the care. Simply the best!

Best pre-school that i have seen. I give 5 stars for every aspect. My daughter loves her class.
Teachers use activities that make learning engaging and fun for the kids.

New facility and team. Excellent care programs and friendly instructors.
