Bright Horizons at 20 Pine - New York

The best decision we could have made for our daughter! We enrolled her at Bright Horizons 20 Pine when she was 6 months and our experience has been so wonderful. The teachers and administrative staff are so kind and helpful. She gets exposed to so many activities and experiences that we cannot give her at home. Her classmates and their families are also really great. It is a really lovely, clean, and safe environment, we are so grateful. We especially love seeing her progress throughout the day and staying in close touch with her teachers through the app. Thank you, Bright Horizons!

After a rough start at another day care, we decided to enroll our 4 month old daughter at 20 Pine. We were really nervous to try another day care, especially one that required a commute from Brooklyn, but we are so happy that we decided to send our daughter here. From our initial visit to our meeting with her teacher, we knew that she would be in good hands.
Jessica and her team are AMAZING at what they do. Everyone at 20 Pine knows my daughter's name and they treat our entire family with warmth, compassion and professionalism. Working with babies is HARD and her teachers are incredibly patient, loving and interactive. They clearly love what they do and we have seen how much our daughter has grown in the few months that she has been there. We love the Bright Horizons app where we can get updates on what she's doing all day. You can get alerts when your baby has a bottle, wakes from a nap, etc. but more importantly you get photos of your child throughout the day. As a working mom, it makes me feel better knowing what she's doing while I'm away.

This is our first child and it was really hard to leave her to go back to work but it is such a relief to drop her off every day knowing that she is being cared for by such amazing people. Everyone from the teachers to the office manager to the director to the support staff here are wonderful. I can't recommend 20 Pine enough. I promise it's worth the ferry/subway ride to Manhattan for other Brooklyn parents looking for a day care for their children.

My toddler had a great experience at Bright Horizons at 20 Pine. We really appreciated the flexibility of the program, especially when many daycares can be very rigid. The quality of the teachers was also amazing - my daughter loved Miss Annie and she was friendly, loving and seemed to really know and care for my baby. The program director Jessica was also very helpful and responsive when I had any questions, and she was great about sending various activities and information to parents to create a collaborative and open community. I also loved receiving the daily updates with pictures of my child and the activities she engaged it. We had a wonderful experience with Bright Horizons at 20 pine and I would definitely recommend it to other families looking for wonderful care.

Our son started coming to BH at 20 Pine since he was 4 months old. The dedicated care of the teachers and the variety of lessons spanning from art and music to yoga and soccer have us hooked! Our little one started crawling and walking thanks to his Infant teachers and now at Toddlers he is quickly learning language, feeds himself and plays with other kids. Most importantly for us is that we can see how much the staff and teachers truly care about the children and are passionate about their work. We feel very happy with our choice and recommend it to other parents out there! 🙂

Amazing pre school, my daughter has enjoyed her time in Bright horizon. The teachers and the school director and staff are incredible and so kind, we felt like we are part of a big family. They focus on the child development not only academically but also socially and emotionally which is great and helped my daughter a lot to channel her emotions. We will miss BH but we will see you in public holidays for sure.

Words cannot express how thankful I am for the team at Bright Horizons at 20 Pine. My son has been enrolled since the age of 3 months, and as he now approaches age 5 and Kindergarten I truly have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. I fully believe that the happy, bright, curious and social boy my son has become is due to his tenure at the school. The staff, from leadership to every teacher we have encountered, is engaged, passionate and truly the best of the best. There was a brief period we tried another school closer to home and very quickly realized how superior Bright Horizons 20 Pine was, and quickly moved back! I can only hope we can find a similar level of engagement, care and overall quality in our son's Kindergarten school.

Both of my children have been at 20 Pine since birth. They are light years ahead of their peers in other schooling environments and I attribute this entirely to Bright Horizons. The staff and teachers feel like family and involve us in every step of their day and education. I have always felt safe and confident sending our kids to school and they look forward to it exhausting and every day here. During and after the pandemic, 20 Pine went above and beyond to care for our kids, update us and ensure a smooth transition coming back. They saved us and out kids by opening the minute that they could and made the past year bearable and even joyful for families who were struggling with kids at home. I will always be grateful and look forward to more Bright Horizons years.

Many people comment how well behaved, verbal, and sweet our 3.5 year old is. After I say “thank you,” I then say all credit goes to his teachers at Bright Horizons. Our son has been going to BH 20 Pine since he was 5 months old. We love the curriculum; he has experienced yoga, STEM, reading, Spanish, soccer, art, cooking, and best of all, friendship. The kids have so much fun! We appreciate all of the partnering with the teachers and leadership team. And soon we will have our second son enrolled, and we look forward to experiencing all the milestones of Bright Horizons 20 Pine with him!
