What Questions Should I Ask a Child Care Provider?
What ages does Bright Horizons in Los Angeles serve in its child care program?
I've looked at other child care solutions in Los Angeles with long waitlists. What if I want to enroll at a Los Angeles Bright Horizons center but space is not available?
You can select and register with up to three Bright Horizons child care locations, including the center in which you are most interested. By registering, you are confirming interest in all three centers. Once registered, we will add you to our waitlist and offer you a space as soon as one becomes available. Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows, and so during the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status. While waiting for a space to become available at the first-choice location, many families enroll at their second or third choices temporarily until space becomes available at their first-choice centers. Enrolling at another location will not only solve your immediate child care needs, but will provide you priority access to your first preference.
