What Questions Should I Ask a Child Care Provider?

What ages does Bright Horizons in Atlanta serve in its child care program?

Most of our Atlanta child care centers serve children ages six weeks to six years. Bright Horizons is more than daycare. We have programs with developmentally appropriate curriculum for infants, toddler, preschool and pre-K.

I’ve looked at other child care solutions in Atlanta with long waitlists. What if I want to enroll at a Atlanta Bright Horizons center but space is not available?

You can select and register with up to three Bright Horizons child care locations, including the center in which you are most interested. By registering, you are confirming interest in all three centers. Once registered, we will add you to our waitlist and offer you a space as soon as one becomes available. Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows, and so during the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status. While waiting for a space to become available at the first-choice location, many families enroll at their second or third choices temporarily until space becomes available at their first-choice centers. Enrolling at another location will not only solve your immediate child care needs, but will provide you priority access to your first preference.

What is the background check process for all staff at Bright Horizons Atlanta child care centers?

Bright Horizons conducts comprehensive background checks on all prospective employees and frequent visitors. In Atlanta, the state of GA Department of Youth and Families requires background checks for employees of a daycare or licensed child care facility.

Bright Horizons background checks consist of a county criminal record check for the past seven years performed in all counties that a person has lived, worked or attended school. In addition to the county criminal search, a sex offender search, OFAC search, and a social security verification trace are also conducted.

Is it safe to send my child to a Atlanta child care or preschool?

Bright Horizons is trusted by parents in Atlanta, including many doctors and nurses, to care for their children. We’ve partnered with pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Kristin Moffitt of Boston Children’s Hospital to implement enhanced safety protocols for all areas including daily health screening, distancing, cleaning, and disinfecting. Our goal is to ensure that all of our health and safety practices in every center are in line with recommendations provided by the CDC and requirements of state and local municipalities. Our Atlanta centers have the well-being of children, families, and staff at their core.

Tuition and Fees – The Willow School

Tuition & Fees for 2022-23 School Year

All tuition payments are due on the first business day of each month.  Families have the option of choosing a 12-month schedule (year-round care) or a 10-month schedule (no care needed for June and July).  The monthly tuition and registration fee are the same for either option, but these options allow the school to plan for staffing during the summer when some families may not need childcare.   We ask that each family choose carefully and give at least 30 days notice if they need to make changes.  If you wish to make any change to your child’s enrollment, please feel out a Change Request form available in the office.

Tuition is based on an annual budgeted amount and divided into equal monthly payments.  Tuition is due even in the case of school closure for any reason.  No tuition reductions will be made for absences due to family vacation, illness, etc.

Choosing a kindergarten or school is a rather serious task. Schools and kindergartens in the United States have their own ratings, which you need to focus on when choosing. The rating depends on many factors and reliably indicates the level of the institution, so it becomes one of the most important points when choosing a place of residence. Even babies are admitted to the kindergarten – in a special group. There are no public kindergartens in America, but there is a huge selection of private ones. There are child development centers.
