Bright Horizons at Mercer Island

We absolutely love this school. Due to job changes and corporate re-location, we've had the opportunity to be in a few different Bright Horizons and this is by far the best and most organized one we've attended. The teachers and administration are incredibly thoughtful and work to provide a great environment for building social development, curiosity, and academic learning. There is a good balance between learning through play and more academic approaches. They consistently offer enrichment classes like Art, Movement, Spanish, and STEM.

Excellent facility, curriculum, teachers & leadership. Bright Horizons Mercer Island leads the pack. Spacious outdoor playground and movement room, great teachers with opportunities for professional development, organic meals, lots of events to bring the community together, and leadership that is purposeful about keeping parents informed and having a say. Bonus - the center is just off I-90 and has easy parking. Danielle, Ruth, Chandler, Amy, Catherine, Janet, Megan, and more - all friendly faces and always willing to help and answer questions.

My son transitioned to Bright Horizons when he was 12-months old. Our old place was ok, but I constantly questioned if daycare was the right decision for our family. After we came here, we haven't had a second thought that this is the best place he can be. Every single person at the Mercer Island location is exceptional (his teachers, the directors, and the admin). It always takes a very long time for us to leave, because my 14-month son wants to say bye/give hugs/smiles to all the staff on his way out. It's clear that he's formed a great relationship with everyone there, and I think it's indicative of the great environment this daycare creates.

My daughter has been at Bright Horizons Mercer Island from the age of 12 months to 3 years and it has been a phenomenal experience. Staff really care about what they do. It is an incredibly professional and organized place. The facilities are beautiful and new with a great indoor gym space to get the kids running around even when the weather is miserable. From an educational standpoint my daughter has made leaps and bounds. They have a curriculum for all ages and make everything educational. She quickly learned to be more independent and seemed happier after adjusting to daycare than she was at home with nanny and grandparents full time! I feel safe with her there and have never had any issues with any of the teachers- they are all wonderful. My daughter looks forward to attending daycare and sometimes doesnt want to go home when I pick her up. You will not regret choosing bright horizons Mercer Island.
