Author: Victoria Perina Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/27/2024, 5:45:59 PM Review: My son has been attending Bright Horizons at Windermere since he was three months old. I can’t say enough great things about the teachers, center director and front office staff! Every day my son and I are greeted with a smile and a good morning! Every staff member takes their time to get to know my son and me personally, always making sure we feel welcome. I look forward to dropping my son off at a school where I know he is loved and cared for. The curriculum is targeted for his age and has helped him develop and learn. I’m grateful for all that Bright Horizons has done for me and my family. I know for me personally, my wish is for my child to be happy, loved and cared for. I know the second I walk through the doors at Bright Horizons that is what I will receive. If I ever have a concern I know that Ms. Jenelle (the center director) will be there to assist me. Thank you to all the teachers and front office staff for being amazing with me and my child! ----- Author: Rebecca Conte Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/12/2023, 12:38:19 PM Review: The curriculum here is excellent. They have the children apply what they are learning to real life situations and incorporate a lot of STEM lessons. But the part that has me most impressed is the staff. My son had had a rough transition to starting school and every single staff member there is always so warm and loving towards him to make sure he’s okay. Even the administrative staff will comfort him when he needs it. I truly believe the teachers and support staff are what make this school extra special and I’m so glad we found them!

I really cannot express the love and appreciation that I have for Bright Horizons Windermere! My child started attending at 2 years old and from the moment we toured (after touring 6-7 daycares throughout Orlando and this school not being the closest to my house by a long shot), we knew it was the only place we felt 100% confidence that they would take great care of our son. It has been worth the money and the drive without a doubt! For the past 2 years, we have worked with wonderful teachers, gained community by meeting other families in our class through the events the school puts together like family picnics or holiday parties, and felt fully supported by administration. My little guy has some separation anxiety and I was able to work together with administration to find a personalized solution that works for us! For all of these reasons and more, it has been a perfect fit for our family.
Bright horizons staff offers children and their families a supportive and nurturing environment with a variety of things to learn and explore. The staff embraces diversity and promotes an inclusive environment where children from different backgrounds and abilities feel welcome and valued. The most important thing is all the staff become a welcome addition to your family. Janelle and Tonya helped me navigate getting my special needs child the support he needed in school. Jamie plays hide and seek games with my older children, whom did not ever attend Brighton horizons, this is the highlight of their day. Paulina, Elba, Milo, Jenny, Fiorella, Cherice, Nicole, Mellissa, Paola, Tori, and Gail have all been incredible teachers that go above and beyond for their children. My child only spent 3 years here. There are many teachers I did not get the joy to experience, but without them, this daycare would not be so incredible. I have watched my child grow into an amazing young lady who exceeds my expectations for going into kindergarten. I will dearly miss everyone from Brighton Horizons. But I may just have to randomly stop by and drop off Friday Fun-drinks in the future!
Wow! This school is wonderful. Fabulous and loving teachers who model kind behavior that my grandson demonstrates when he’s out and about. Swimming lessons, age appropriate reading and alphabet mastery, and great lessons in social interaction! Highly recommended!
The level of skill and patience used to overcome a child who has separation anxiety is a so heart warming to know how much they care about my child. Such a gentle approach to teaching and making learning fun certainly not a boot camp . A place we’re children are valued for being unique and using their own creativity. I’d recommend them with my eyes closed .

Due to a move for my husband’s job, I transferred my child to this Bright Horizons location with high hopes given my previous five star experience with another Bright Horizons, but unfortunately, my experience has been nothing short of disappointing and concerning. The administration on more than once occasion has failed in their duties, particularly in crucial matters like health and safety. Firstly, there have been instances where illnesses within the classroom were not reported to parents. Recently, I discovered that my child's teacher had COVID-19 through a picture uploaded to the app showing her interacting with my son wearing a face mask. This is completely unacceptable - parents should be informed directly and immediately about such critical issues, not through a casual picture upload. Moreover, my husband has witnessed firsthand the administration staff engaging in inappropriate behavior during drop-off times. Instead of focusing on their responsibilities, they have been painting their nails, exposing children to noxious fumes, and even doing each other’s hair at the front desk. This not only shows a lack of professionalism but also a blatant disregard for the children's well-being and safety. The only positive aspect of this daycare has been select teachers, who genuinely care for the children. However, their efforts are overshadowed by the administration's neglect. Parents, please beware of this Bright Horizons location. The administration cannot be trusted to prioritize your child's health, safety, or well-being. Needless to say my I immediately unenrolled my child from this location and was able to find a more reputable and reliable facility.
Our daughter attended Bright Horizons for VPK. What an amazing school and staff. Everyone knows you and your child by name and you can’t ask for a more nurturing environment for your little one. We are so sad to leave. Miss Melissa and Miss Paola are unmatched. Bright Horizons- we love you!
With them you feel like you are a part of their family, They are more than kindly.
This is one of the most amazing daycare facilities in the country. My family had to transfer from another location, and they made the transition smooth and easy. The staff is so well trained and so caring. Our family fell in love with everyone there. They worked with our doctors to accommodate a special need. They devoted time and attention to our family. The administration was straightforward and thoughtful about what things cost and what support options are available. The facilities are first class, welcoming, and so clean. And truly, they are nicest people in the world here. I can’t say enough great things about this fantastic place.
