My son is 14 months old and has been attending Bright Horizons at Tulane since he was about 6 months old. First off, he absolutely loves it. Ms. Denise is the only person outside of our family that he actually reaches for. We get picture and/or video updates almost every day, which are delightful. They track everything from naps to meals to diaper changes in the app. The staff is just wonderful. I've never had a bad experience with any of them and everyone knows my son's name and says hello to him. Of course, incidents like falling or getting mildly hurt are inevitable. If something happens, they call me immediately to let me know. Same goes for if he gets sick during the day, which has thankfully only happened once. They take COVID precautions very seriously! Masks are required for adults at all times, there's a symptom checker you have to fill out in the app every morning, and temperature of the child and anyone accompanying them is taken at drop-off. If a family reports a COVID exposure, the entire class is closed for the quarantine period, which makes it much less likely to be passed around. If a child is diagnosed with RSV, all families in that class get an alert. I was honestly terrified to send my child to daycare in the middle of a pandemic but I genuinely feel that he is safe here. We live in Metairie, I work in Elmwood, and my husband works Uptown (we both work for Tulane). We drive 20-30 minutes to drop our son off and pick him up. It's worth the distance. It's worth the price, which is admittedly quite high. I wholeheartedly recommend BH to any local families who have the means to send their kids here.

I would recommend Bright Horizons to any parent looking to place their kid in an educational and caring child care program. My child has been attending at this location since they were 10 months old, so for about 2 years now. She has moved through 3 stages/age groups and each one has been great. She is bringing home new words and songs everyday, she knows how to count to 10, and all her ABCs. The teachers are hands-on and really seem care about your child's well being. I appreciate their approach to teaching children, and I have really seen the benefits and growth in my child. When COVID hit, we were as nervous as any parent would be about continuing to send her to school. But, this center has been clear about the guidelines and immediately made changes to the pick-up drop-off procedures; making sure everyone is safe. I feel comfortable continuing to send my child to daycare. This has also helped her to interact with her peers and make relationships with other adults besides her family. The center uses the Bright Horizons app which allows parents to receive updates throughout the day. The updates can include: when your child eats, gets changed/uses the potty, or sleeps. There are also always a bunch of daily photos and videos of the days activities.

My son has been with Bright Horizons at Tulane since he was 3 months old and it has been a wonderful experience for him and our family! The teachers are all knowledgeable, attentive, and show so much love and care. I would highly recommend enrolling here to any parent.
