Hi.
Hello everyone. I need your help. I am going to be returning to work pretty soon and was wondering if anyone had any experience with daycare centers run by Bright Horizons. My husband and I work for the govt and there is a childcare facility in both of our offices.
Mine is NAEYC certified while hubby's is brand new--but no certification. Hubby's center is run by Bright Horizions. Their ratio is 1:4 for babies under 12 mths. (Our daughter will be about 6 mth when she enters day care.) At hubby's place there are 3 classrooms for children under 12 mths--each classroom holds 8 babies. My center only has space for 6 babies total. While the newness factor of hubby's center is appealing, I would be able to see baby all the time at my place.
I am very concerned about the lack of certification and the ratio at hubby's center (the center in my office is 1 to 3 and is NAEYC certified). Is the ratio difference all that great? I am also concerned about the developmental/educational programs offered by Bright Horizons. Does anyone know if they are any good and the quality of care provided?
Thanks in advnace any information is GREATLY appreciated..
