After baby care: additional Bright Horizons programs 

Before you know it, your infant will be a toddler…and then a preschooler. At Bright Horizons, you and your child can transition seamlessly from one stage to the next. In addition to baby care programs, we offer age-specific support for every stage of development.

  • Toddlers. Our toddler care programs are rooted in research to help your child make developmental leaps and build skills for the future. With support for your child’s newfound independence, language, and social skills and a focus on individual growth and making choices, our toddler care programs make learning an adventure.
  • Preschool. Our preschool programs help inquisitive young minds tackle new challenges and advance the skills they’ll need for kindergarten and beyond. Independent, teacher-directed, and small-group activities encourage investigation, exploration, and discovery.
  • Pre-K. Our kindergarten prep programs are based on a curriculum that helps children build the social and academic skills they need to be ready for school. Our research-based curriculum features creative, hands-on, and project-based learning with support for core pre-academic areas including literacy, mathematical reasoning, and scientific investigation.

How to choose a Los Angeles baby care center

We know that choosing the right Los Angeles baby care center can feel like a challenge. Focusing on these key areas may help you zero in on the best Los Angeles daycare option for your child.

  • Curriculum. Consider whether you want a typical daycare or an early learning program that supports your child’s curiosity and growth with a research-based curriculum.
  • Schedule. The best center for your family will offer flexible hours that fit your needs at work and home.
  • Knowledgeable caregivers. Be sure to ask how the caregivers at each center are hired, trained, and supported. Some centers, like Bright Horizons, hire teachers with a background in early education, while other daycare providers do not.
  • Health and safety. It’s important to ask about the health and safety policies of each center. Having documented programs and policies is essential for keeping children safe and secure.
  • Appropriate environments. Look for spaces that are ideally suited to the needs of your child and feature bright, welcoming spaces designed for exploration and learning.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT BRIGHT HORIZONS?

When should I start looking for baby care in Los Angeles?

OPEN

 Many child care providers have fairly long waitlists, so it’s important to start looking for a Los Angeles baby care solution as soon as you know you’ll need care. It may take weeks or months to research your options, schedule tours, and make a choice. The sooner you can join the waiting list, the better chance you’ll have of getting a space when you’re ready to start baby care.

What are the benefits of daycare for babies?

OPEN

Daycares and early learning centers provide babies with many opportunities to build strong social-emotional skills through interactions with caregivers and other children. In early learning centers, children can participate in activities in art, music, reading, science, and other academic disciplines.

How do I find the right Los Angeles baby care solution?

OPEN
When looking for the best Los Angeles daycare options, it’s helpful to start by asking friends, family, and neighbors about their experiences. Decide whether a center close to home or work is more convenient. A baby care center close to work will let you stop in during a break from the office, but a center close to home may be more flexible if you travel or work outside the office frequently. Be sure to research online reviews of each provider and take a daycare tour to see caregivers in action. Finally, it’s important to schedule a time for an interview with your top prospects to get answers to all your questions. Ask for references from each center, and check with your employer about daycare benefits that could help to cover the cost.
