Bright Horizons at Rosslyn

The center is a warm and welcoming place with dedicated and highly-educated and extensively-trained staff. This is a tight-knit community that excels at being inclusive of all. The teachers here are creative, compassionate, and create great partnerships with the children and families. I've enjoyed working here and it's the first place where I've felt adequately supported and appreciated in my role.

I love having our daughter at Bright Horizons! The staff and leadership are, smart, wonderful and caring. The center is so nice, and clean. They have an amazing curriculum. The other day when i took my daughter in late after a dentist visit the class was listening to Greek music and using paper shapes to build a Parthenon. They travel all around the world:)

We've been sending our 4 year old daughter to Bright Horizons Rosslyn since she was 4 months old, with a 1.5 year hiatus due to Covid. Upon our return to Bright Horizons this past spring, we have been beyond impressed with the care our daughter has received, the communication between teachers and parents, cleanliness of the school, and hours of operation. A few standouts for us: 1. Communication - emails, phone calls, updates given at drop/pick up are organized, concise and easy on the parents. We receive many pictures each day and real time updates/notes through their app and are kept up to speed by the leadership staff in terms of forms to be filled out, etc. End of day narrative is tailored to our daughter's day and it's comforting to know that teachers can understand a child's individual needs and preferences. 2. Curriculum & care - the curriculum for each day/week is impressive, often follows a theme and varies day to day, and of course by age. Under the care of the team at Bright Horizons, daughter has grown in her language, writing, critical thinking, curiosity, socialization and more. The staff makes learning fun with some time for free play and outdoor play as well. Teachers and leadership are smart, kind, compassionate and cheerful in our experience. 3. Cleanliness - We have been so impressed with the cleanliness of the school, protocols around meal preparation, hand-washing, masking (when relevant) exclusions from attendance due to illness, cleanliness in the classrooms, etc. The center is neat, organized, as are the classrooms. Better than my own house :) If you're looking for a pre-school/daycare setting, I would not hesitate to consider Bright Horizon's Rosslyn in your search.

I feel extremely lucky to have found this daycare center for my child. I honestly couldnt have asked for a better group of teachers and staff for my little ones very first daycare experience. The teachers are patient, nurturing, and accommodating, while everyone else at the center are kind, professional and welcoming. The student to teacher ratio I think is just right - I find within the classroom a healthy balance of individual attention and peer interaction and socialization. My childs (who started going to BH in Rosslyn just two months ago) vocabulary is already growing by leaps and bounds. Definitely an A++ if I had to put a grade to this center.

Bright Horizons' problem is a low morale and a small number of employees. Staff members' concerns were rarely considered or taken seriously. Everyone was stressed out as a result of the heavy workload. When this was expressed to the regional manager, the response was something along the lines of "that's your perspective." Some budget cuts also resulted in teachers reusing the same items and lesson plans. It felt so repetitive, and it was clear that the children became bored. There is a lot that needs to be done to improve both the center and the company as a whole.
