Bright Horizons at Rockaway

I'm so happy that I made the decision two years ago to send my daughter to Bright Horizons center at Rockaway. She's now turning four and becoming a beautiful, confident, passionate and kind little girl. And I give a lot of the credit to BH. All the teachers and staff in the center are so caring and she enjoys everyday of being in the center. So sad that we need to leave BH family since we're moving. Would highly recommend this center if you're nearby and also looking for a daycare.

Bright Horizons Rockaway has been a great place for childcare for my wife and I. They have very strong communication with parents and provide fantastic updates throughout the day. I would strongly recommend this provider.

My experience with Bright Horizons has been nothing short of exceptional. I have been well supported by everyone I have interacted with - be it the Center Directors or the teaching staff. My son started in the toddler room at BH this year and it has been 6 months of amazing learning and growth for him. Month1 was hard with my little one getting adapted to this new environment and I was constantly anxious, but timely updates and the comfort of being able to watch him while he was being well cared for, went a long way in easing the transition. Fastforward 6 months and everyday I drop off my son, he is so happy and excited to meet his teachers and friends. Bright Horizons at Rockaway has truly stood out for me in terms of Child Care and I highly recommend them.

My son started in the infant room at Bright Horizons Rockaway in 2018. Since day one we have had nothing but positive experiences and support from the staff. He just graduated the K-Prep (pre-K) class and although we are ready for the next chapter, were so sad to leave the BH family. The teachers all knew my son and his special interests. Hes always been excited to go to school, and never wanted to miss a day. The Director was easy to contact and was available for any of my questions or concerns, even ones that didnt necessarily relate to school. The health and safety protocols at the center are always being updated to keep the kids and staff safe. They keep families in mind and are willing to work with your schedule and home situations. The reason I chose to send my son to BH was because of their facility. Although I hadnt met the teachers yet, I was impressed with the different spaces that the children travel to throughout the day. My son is energetic and I couldnt imagine him being cooped up in one room all day everyday. BH has individual classrooms for each age group with a bathroom for the children in each room. They have a break out room and a movement matters zone to host exercise on days when the weather prohibits them from getting outside. On days when the weather allows, there are two separate playgrounds for big and little kids. This was my sons favorite part. They also have an art room, and a stem lab. The My Bright Day app and the Watch Me Grow camera access to classrooms helped me see what my son was up to in his earliest stages in life, when I felt guilty for working. Even as he got older, seeing him on the camera helped me feel at ease that he was having a great time and making memories. The My Bright Day app is constantly updated by the teachers to reflect the skills and activities each day. I was able to see pictures and descriptions of what he learned, what he ate, when he used the bathroom, and how he napped. This was especially helpful when he got to the age when I asked him what he did today and the responses were always I dont remember. Can I have a cookie? I was able to sit down with him at dinner time and reflect on his day in more detail. It also helped me communicate with his teachers. Thats the reason we signed up. The reason that weve stayed so long is the amazing connections weve made. The center feels like a family where everybody knows everybody. My son has made life long friends with his classmates. Theyve learned about diversity and how to respect differences. Upon graduating, my son is leaving with amazing social emotional awareness, he is adding and subtracting, reading and identifying sight words, and most of all he has a deep love for learning. As a parent, Ive never felt more comfortable leaving my son with a group of people so loving and caring towards him.
