Bright Horizons at North Kennicott - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Our family has been at Bright Horizons North Kennicott since our first daughter was four months and now is in the Kindergarten program. The directors, teachers, and full staff are wonderful and have always been there to help out our girls. Our girls are flourishing and love their teachers and school so much. I could not recommend more!

Updated 4/2023 to share that our family continues to trust Bright Horizons North Kennicott to provide a safe learning and playing environment for our two children. We have attended North Kennicott for 4+ years now and are so grateful to the center's leaders, teachers, and staff. Their curriculum provides a fun and engaging way for the children to learn, and they are invested in the ongoing learning and well being of their teachers and staff.

Our family has been attending Bright Horizons North Kennicott for nearly three years with two children, and we are incredibly happy. The center's director, Sarah, is a strong, compassionate leader and that is reflected through program curriculum and teacher retention. At North Kennicott, I know my children are safe, they are learning, and they are thriving.

My daughter was here back when she was a toddler all through their kindergarten program. She is now back for their summer camp program. From the time we entered the center, it felt like a second family! All of the teachers treated my daughter like their own! Management goes above and beyond for parents and you can tell their staff loves and respects them. We are so beyond grateful for the care we’ve received and still receive!

Our daughter, now 7 and thriving in first grade, began at Bright Horizons at North Kennicott at 12 weeks old and continued though her graduation of their kindergarten program. Our son, now 4, has been fortunate to do the same.
My wife and I believe that the education our children have and are receiving is next to none. Speaking with friends who have children in other daycare / education programs, they cannot say the same.
The entire family of educators and directors at Bright Horizon’s, not only do an incredible job teaching and guiding our children, they truly care about them and our family.
When I am asked if I would recommend Bright Horizon’s at North Kennicott, without any reservations, I give my 100% recommendation and suggest them to each family in need of a daycare provider. You will not be disappointed!

My family has been with Bright Horizons for over 3 years, I would highly suggest continuing your daycare search. On the surface this facility seems like a good fit however once you are there you will start to notice high turnover rates which is difficult for younger kids, management is unwilling to listen to parent feedback, and prices continue to increase 4% year over year. Some of the teachers really are great however they don’t seem to stay for long which makes sense once you start engaging with management and realize their number one concern is revenue. They are in no hurry to focus on developing kids to the next age group in an effort to drive revenue by holding children in younger classes with a higher teacher to student ratio.

I’ll start by saying, “my kids LOVE attending BHNK!”
Our son attended BH in the fall of 2019 in the infant room. 6 months later COVID and we pulled him out. However, Sarah and Maureen continued to include our family in activities and crafts. It was nice to feel connected to other families during a pandemic.
When we were deciding to put our son back into childcare, there was no comparison. We rejoined the BHNK family in the summer of 2021 in the Twos room. In the spring of 2022 our daughter started in the infant room.

I have a strong “mom gut” feeling and I rarely let family watch my kids, however, it’s different with BHNK. Each individual (admin, teacher, resource teacher, and the cook) take the time to build a relationship with your child. My “mom gut” nerves are always at ease when I drop the kids off.
I absolutely love when the kids get excited to see BHNK staff and can’t wait to tell us who they are or how they know them. Our daughter gets upset on days she’s not scheduled to be at BHNK. We have to reassure her that soon she will go everyday! I’m not even kidding, our children ask if it’s a school day or stay at home day regardless of what we tell them… they are excited! Our children are EXCITED to go to BHNK.
In addition to all the amazing relationships, BHNK is high quality child care with an emphasis in education. The curriculum used is researched based and has a social emotional approach. BH also provides continuing education for their staff. They are so collaborative and truly want the children to be successful in all areas of development. What more could you ask for in child care?!?!

I cannot speak highly enough about Bright Horizons, its Teachers, Center Director and Support Staff. Everyone is so caring and attentive to our boys' needs. This will be our 8th year of having a child at their center and could not be happier about the decision. We have recommended Bright Horizons to all of our friends and coworkers.

Bright horizons is a great place to take your child. I felt my child was well cared for there. The staff followed my preferred schedule and took time to be with the kids. Down sides-he was always sick with fevers and the cost was pretty high. 12 babies in an infant room made it difficult for my baby to nap.
