Customer Testimonials
This is such a wonderful program to help with childcare and tutoring needs. It alleviates the stress with looking for childcare, especially in emergency situations and since my children have been getting the virtual tutoring they have been doing well in school and are happy learning.

I am so grateful to have virtual tutoring!! My daughter is in the process if being diagnosed with dyslexia and the extra help with reading is so incredibly valuable to us.
– Virtual Tutoring Customer
Bright Horizons Back-Up Care has made my life so much easier. Having to balance work and caring for my two young children can be difficult sometimes. I am so thankful to have Back-Up Care, so I don't have to worry about getting quality care when something unexpected comes up.
– In-Home Child Care Customer
The caregiver from Bright Horizons was a wonderful nanny! She arrived early and was very attentive to our child's needs. You can tell how passionate she is about working with kids. She was compassionate and patient with our son, quickly forged a bond with him. Rarely would she need anything, which helped us focus on work. I would happily book her care again or recommend her to a friend.
– In-Home Child Care Customer
Our kids have a ton of fun there, and it has been a great chance for gaining important socialization skills from what has been a tough year to do that thus far.
– Center-Based Child Care Customer
The caregiver from Bright Horizons is OUTSTANDING. By far, she was the best in-home care giver we've had through this program (which says a lot, as most everyone has been great). Not only did she follow our schedule for our daughter, but she created a fun environment for her that also included learning.
– In-Home Child Care Customer
Bright Horizons is very accommodating with my weekend schedule. My grandkids love going and can’t wait until the weekends.
– Center-Based Child Care Customer
The caregiver from Bright Horizons was wonderful with my 2-year-old and very communicative with us! She helped at a critical time (potty training!) and was super positive and agile with her approach. My daughter missed her after she left!
– In-Home Child Care Customer
Tutoring from Bright Horizons was very helpful. During the pandemic having my children attending school virtually has really held my children behind. Depending on us as parents to do day to day school work was and is very hard. Bright Horizon has allowed me to get my children the help they needed to catch them up with school work. I hope to continue to use Bright Horizons even during the summer to prepare my children for the new school year.
