Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Strengths: Teachers.
Weaknesses: Lack of enrichment classes (only get music- and that is only 2x/month during "school year." nothing in the summer).

Parent #2
Bright Horizons at 2nd Street has been open for a little over a year (at the time of this review), but it has been a wonderful experience for my children. The staff works hard to make this a happy place for the kids. Though it's still rough around the edges in terms of not having a strong parent community yet and the original director leaving, my kids haven't suffered and look forward to going to BH every day.

Parent #3
My son only attended 2nd Street for 6 months. He immediately bonded with his teacher, which made him very excited to attend. He learned a great deal while there - preliminary math, how to tell the date and time, etc.

Parent #4
Brand new facilities, fabulous director, teachers seem content and supported.

Parent #5
The campus is new, clean and well maintained. Corporate run, so there are standards and accountability, unlike some sketchy home-based daycares I have toured. Each classroom is tailored for different age groups, and there is a small play area outside. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and fun - the school is play based, and my child has blossomed creatively and in language skills over the past six months! Drawbacks would be the small outdoor play area and lack of playground equipment, and the campus' location between the Bay Bridge freeway onramps - makes it incredibly difficult to reach during rush hour.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
