We’ve had a wonderful experience at Bright Horizons over the past year. Our son started in the infant classroom and is now in the toddler classroom. Across the board, all of his teachers have been outstanding and we are amazed at how much he’s developed under their care. Every day he comes home and surprises us with new vocabulary he learns from all of the enriching activities they plan. The center administrative staff are also top notch and keep us well informed. Would highly recommend this location to anyone considering daycare in Seaport.

Highly recommend Bright Horizons at Fan Pier for toddlers and preschoolers. My 3-year-old son joined the preschool class this summer, and we’ve had a fantastic experience. The teachers are truly top-notch and do an excellent job making the curriculum both fun and educational. One standout feature is the large indoor playground, which is especially valuable during Boston’s cold winters. Most importantly, my son wakes up every day saying, “I want to go to school!” — which speaks volumes about the caring, engaging environment the teachers have created. We’re very grateful for the amazing team there.

We have had a wonderful experience with the infant program since our LO was 4 months old. The teachers are amazing — so caring and attentive, and so experienced. We have felt included at every stage and love getting updates throughout the day. We feel so thankful to have the peace of mind knowing our LO is in good hands at Bright Horizons.

I have nothing but nice things to say about the whole team at Bight Horizons Fan Pier. We fell into the program after needing to use backup care days due to a flaky nanny and couldn’t have been happier with the transition to this daycare for my then 10 month old. She was there from 10 months until nearly 2 years 9 months (infant and toddler) and we were all sad to leave this facility when we moved away from Boston. It’s been 6 months and even this morning something reminded my daughter of her “old school” and she told me how much she misses them. It’s a great group of educators and supporting staff. You can tell they really care about the kids and families. They host many fun events and include the parents as well which is an excellent way to build local community. We miss everyone at Bright Horizons Fan Pier.

I cannot begin to express how wonderful Bright Horizons Fan Pier is. My daughter had never been to daycare before but her teachers Miss Patty and Miss Natali helped her transition as smoothly as possible (after we had also moved from Virginia). Our little one had a lot going on but in a few weeks time, she was so happy and enjoyed her time at BH. After a few more weeks she was excited to go and made friends. She has truly flourished beyond our expectations and has developmentally excelled from mobility to independent play to focus to love of books and socially. The other center support staff have also been so incredible. I felt confident leaving my little one everyday knowing she was getting the best care possible and had the best team looking after her. I would encourage anyone to send their children here. Thank you to everyone at Fan Pier for taking such great care of our baby

We have had an incredible experience at the Fan Pier center. The teachers clearly love what they do and our son loves going to school everyday. The peace of mind to drop him off in such a wonderful environment is truly invaluable.

The Fan Pier location has exceeded our expectations! We absolutely LOVE the teachers and staff, and feel like they are an extension of our family. Our son started in the infant room and immediately connected with his wonderful teacher, Ms. Patty. Even though he's moved on to the toddler room, he still runs by every day to see her! His experience in the toddler room has been equally as amazing - Ms. Nahomi, Ms. Mackenzy, Ms. Natali and Ms. Denise have all been wonderful teachers and he loves coming to school, engaging with teachers and friends both in the classroom, and outside on their daily walks and playground trips. The Fan Pier teachers are so creative with their daily arts, crafts and other activities and they are constantly working with him to develop important skills on a daily basis. He gets so excited when we talk about going to school and the teachers and friends he'll see! Other center staff, Ms. Ivy, Ms. Jo and Ms. Jackie are all so wonderful, and we are so happy to see them every day. We can't recommend the Fan Pier center enough!

We were so nervous to start our daughter in daycare but it has been one of the best decisions we've made for her! She loves playing with the other babies and all of the infant teachers are amazing...especially our daughter's main teacher Ms. Jo! She loves her and gets so excited in the morning when we ask her if she's ready to go see Ms. Jo. We're so happy to have found the Bright Horizons Fan Pier location!
