Starting a new daycare during a pandemic was not something I imagined we would have to do but due to relocating we had to find a new place for our two kids. We found bright horizons and are so glad we did. The director and teachers were so accommodating to a crazy mom who was already worried how her kids would adjust to a new place. They let us meet the teachers outside the week before they were starting which made the transition the first day a little easier. The constant pictures and daily reports are amazing so we know what is going on with the kids class. Definitely recommend!

We love Bright Horizon at the University of Scranton (both of our children are at the center now)! The center has the highest possible certification of quality and the price is reasonable. The programming is great, the facilities are modern and teachers are well trained. Communication with teachers is aided by a good app that provides real time access on meals, sleep, notes and a few photos. Meals are included by a University caterer from day 1 (infants have Gerber food from 6 months). Children go outdoors regularly as much as permitted by the state. The photo is of our older child building a tiny snowman in a playground for children 0-3.Safety practices are thoughtfully followed. The center was closed from March to August 2020 for Covid restrictions and made an effort communicate to both parents and children through teachers. We missed the center a lot. All staff members and children age 2+ always wear masks and complete daily screening. One of our children had a fever for a total of two hours in the early afternoon - the center caught it and encouraged us to quickly get a COVID test at pediatricians. We were back the next day. Teachers have been vaccinated. There has not been a COVID case at the center. If I understand correctly, as the state relaxed occupancy restrictions there have been openings at the center without a waiting period, which was not the case before the pandemic. As a parent, this is a great opportunity.On a personal level, we never had a better teacher that Tina in the infant room. She is extremely knowledgeable educating parents as well as children in a gentle way. She is extremely mindful of safety educating us on safe length of strings, hoodies for infants and food protocols. She sings to children all the time and takes professional level photos. All the children at the center have outdoors time.Both our children love the center. Our 2 year old talks about her friends all the time, the activities they do. The center helped with potty training, music and reading. Before pandemic I could see children play in their rooms and now I see them in their playground as well as brief videos. They are social and happy. The structure that the center provides is enriching and calm.I couldnt imagine a better day care center and care about it no less than about my job.

This daycare has an amazing Director (Ms. Debbie) and staff who are so caring and genuine. My son tells me everyday at pickup how he had a great day and loves school. I looked forward to his daily pictures and updates which make my day!

My son started here a month ago and so far we are having an amazing experience! He has adjusted so well already and seems to really enjoy the various music, art, reading, and outdoor play activities he gets to engage in.As a mom, I super appreciate how thoughtful and communicative the administrative Director and teachers are.

The university of Scranton early learning center has been such a positive experience for family! The staff have worked to put children first, to always bring their best self to the child daily and to make transitions smooth for us when we changed center to their location!

My son has been going here for three years and i love the care and education he gets. its great how the kids are more in a classroom setting than other daycare centers we looked at. the staff really cares about the children and wants to see them succeed.
