DMV Bright Horizons cost?

We left after I witnessed a teacher being violent with a student through a window when doing an early pick up for a doctor's appointment. The care was terrible and the prices outrageous. Don't assume a chain is consistent across locations.

This, shopping around for daycare in the DC area was very eye opening. I thought paying $4,200 for two in daycare would mean luxurious quality but nope, it's for legally minimum standard care. We left the area as soon as we got remote jobs.

Their food is not nearly as bad as the food on menus at other daycares. Is it all organic, no, but when looking around I saw much worse, including at some similarly priced daycares.

+1 you are paying extra to enrich wealthy people, not for a guarantee of high quality

Bright Horizons varies somewhat by location. Also if you are a fed you will frequently get a better rate. In DC, our 2s room was 2600, but is rising by around 100 for next year.

In MD, my friend goes to a Bright Horizons that is about 2300 for a 2s room.
