Schools in Bloomfield, CT

“It is a bittersweet feeling as our fifth and youngest daughter finishes the K-Prep program at Bright Horizons at Hall Blvd. Our family has had a child enrolled at Bright Horizons since the fall of 2008, when our oldest daughter was 2. Over the past 14 years, Bright Horizons has become like a second home to us, and the staff and other families have truly become like family to us. We feel so fortunate that we chose this child care center, and we will miss it dearly.I always feel so secure knowing that my kids are safe and in such good, capable hands when they aren’t with me. The staff is always ready to make tearful drop offs easier, and provide such comfort when separation is hard - for both kids and parents! The facility is very clean and bright, and communication with the teachers and administration is excellent. My children built such strong, loving relationships with so many staff members. It is truly heartwarming to see.Where Bright Horizons really shines, however, is in the preschool and K-prep programs. It was in these programs, specifically, that we saw each of our daughters really develop socially, become more independent, and gain a love of and curiosity for learning. There is just the right combination of structure and play time such that the kids are challenged, engaged, and happy. My 4 year old beams with pride when she hands in her simple “homework” assignments, and is so excited to tell me about her new “class job”. It is little things like this that gave my children a valuable sense of responsibility and independence. All of our children have graduated from Bright Horizons so prepared for Kindergarten, both socially and academically. My daughters’ kindergarten teachers have oftentimes commented on just how prepared my daughters were when they entered their classrooms. I can easily say that in terms of Kindergarten preparedness, Bright Horizons is second to none.Another great thing about Bright Horizons is how well the staff gets to know each child. My children are all very different, and the staff consistently addressed and catered to each one’s strengths and needs. The K-Prep teacher actually went to a book store and picked out a book for each child as a gift at their graduation. The books were unique and special to each child and showed just how well the teacher knew each child.The staff is kind, compassionate, and understanding. I believe this starts at the top, and the administration team is nothing short of amazing. They continually go out of their way to help families, and we cannot thank them enough.After having five children go through all the programs at Bright Horizons at Hall Blvd, I would recommend it without hesitation. It really has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family.”

“I love shopping here. The staff is helpful, smart and courteous. I found many different hats and turbans in beautiful colors. I bought a jade green turban with jewels (not real) on the front. The prices are super”

“School has gone through some growing pains since moving into the building last year but I like the way they've turned some things around. This has still been the best decision we've made for our son. Teachers are kind, caring, and professional. All of the staff go above and beyond to get to know the kids and to provide them with a safe and engaging place to learn and grow.”
