Bright Horizons at Teele Square

We love Bright Horizons at Teele Sq! Our daughter has been there for 2 years. Wonderful staff. Respectful environment focused on emotional growth and children's individual creativity. Strong ties to Tufts University that include a program that pairs Tufts students with BHTS children for the year - my daughter adored her Tufts friends! Regular performances and visits from Tufts students (e.g. singing groups, theatre groups, and environmental protection experts). Also a wonderful community for families.

We love this center. Everything about it is just excellent. Amazing space with bright large classrooms and an awesome playground, thoughtful, caring teachers and staff, emergent curriculum that is built around childrens interests, music, yoga, live performances, etc. etc. I cant say enough great things about this preschool. Our first child has been at the center for a year and our second is starting there this summer.

While we have only been at BHTS for a few months, our whole family loves it! We switched our son from another nearby Bright Horizons (which we also loved for younger ages!) when he was the appropriate age (2 years, 9 months) as the curriculum, teachers, facilities, and resources offered by BHTS seemed outstanding. Were thrilled to report that they are outstanding in practice as well. Our son absolutely loves the twice daily visits to the onsite playground, weekly yoga and music classes, the wide range of daily toys/activities (called choices) and, of course, his wonderful teachers and peers. Were very happy that we made the change. Even though drop-offs can still be tough (thats about the kiddo, not the school :)), at pickup its clear how much fun he had. Were on vacation this week and he misses school, so if thats not a ringing endorsement, then I dont know what is. Finally, Ill just say that the communication from BHTS (both classroom teachers and center administrators) is great, and we love the overall community as well.

We have our 2nd child there now and so have been attending for 5 years with a small gap (during which we kept tabs in our network) Things I like the most about this center: Consistent quality, low turnover of staff/management, same management as in 2018 when we started. Still managed mostly like it was when it was a Tufts preschool. High quality sensible caring management and staff, little drama. We never have to worry about our child. Amazing facility, dedicated on site playground, they don't have to cross streets to get there. Amazing classrooms, bathrooms with kid sized toilets attached to each of the 4 classrooms, great playstations/"choices", sandbox in youngest classroom, fun lofts in older classrooms, great toys. Food provided and served family style to kids, we don't have to pack a lunch as part of morning routine. Convenient Teele Square location, by car easy drop off in the plentiful parking lot, by bus on bus lines on Holland and Broadway, and our most common way by cargo bike by current historical standards the bike infra on Holland/Broadway is decent. Instant friends-great community, we have playdates and also big group get togethers outside of school. Unlike coops there are no duties-we do enough volunteer work, we really don't want to be on any more committees in our life if we don't have to be, we like that management runs things and we have confidence in them (there are regular meetings where parents can give feedback). The curriculum and learning always makes sense, I mean I am mostly interested in learning people skills through play so I don't pay close attention but they also learn other knowledge.
