[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went with Bright Horizons over a nanny and another local center in Georgetown. I prefer the accountability of a center versus a nanny who is alone with your kid for most of the day, and I felt there was more thought, purpose, and clearer standards at BH than at the local center.

There were specific rules and policies for everything, because there is a big business and corporate offices behind every decision made.

That said, i think there are large variations between BH centers, and a lot of that depends on the staff-- and specifically the center's director. We liked our center's director, whose door was always open and we felt like listened to us. We also had some incredible teachers.

Also, read the WHC thread and realize that this for-profit chain is much more closely regulated than a religious institution, and be thankful for it.[/quote]

Well there is a specific issue with religious institutions being exempt from licensing regulations, which is a problem.

It doesn't mean a BH center is safer or has more oversight than any other licensed center.[/quote]

Yes, the comparison was made to a religious center, as an example of a "non-profit" daycare.[/quote]

Unlicensed religious daycares are different from licensed nonprofit daycares [/quote]
