Bright Horizons Family Solutions Employer Reviews

A place where one can work one on one with children. Help them reach their full potential and watch them grow and achieve all they can.

I like working with the children at work but I really dont feel like this is the industry I want to work in and I have felt unhappy recently at my job due not feeling like I settled in anywhere. Being bank staff means I am never in any nursery for any length of time so I do not have a chance to make friends with the staff or bond with the children.

As I was only on a work placement for 8 months I can't really say much apart from the staff are generally really lovely, warm and welcoming. Being part of the group for 8 months made me realise how important children are and how important their education is.

When working with this company I enjoyed being part of the HEART group. always fun and upbeat environment

A typical part of the day for me is helping teacher s in the classroom. I am a very hands on person in addition to greeting parents and children each day. I not only mange the center daily operations, but I also juggle parent inquires, phone calls, various staffing issues, monitor schedules, support the staff and work closely with our client.
In my – more...  current role I learned a lot about analyzing budgets, in particular profit and loss. The hardest part of the job is balancing home and work life. I found this most challenging, due to my strong work ethic and Type A personality. It is difficult for me to stop working as I am very task oriented. For me there is always something more to accomplish. It’s a curse and a blessing at the same time.
I enjoyed working with my co-workers and our Director meetings, as they we were always supportive of one other. It good to know you can call on each other at anytime for help. We work closely together to help one another achieve NAYCE accreditation and problem solve to find solutions to day to day issues we encounter.
The most enjoyable part of my job is the joy I receive from seeing children happy faces, receiving hugs, and witnessing the many milestones they achieve. – less

great co-works, great learning opportunities, excellent benefits provided such health and life insurance.

Early Childhood Specialist

At Bright Horizons you will receive ongoing training, which helps to mold you into an amazing teacher.

There is room for growth in the company and the admin staff is great! There are great benefits and opportunity to travel.

The positions are exciting, but you get burned out quickly. The work load and responsibilities keep piling on the teachers. There is no advancement either.

this company is ok to work for the owners are great people i worked with client with disablty its a very stessful job

Bright Horizons, in my opinion, is recommended for those who are in school or are just looking for something to do on the side. One thing they are is extremely flexible. You need a day off? no problem. You can't come in? no problem. Your late? no problem. You need 2 months off? no problem. What other job does this? none that I've heard of. However, – more...  I wouldn't take a full-time job offer at all. The pay is extremely low, you work long stressful hours, huge teacher turnover so many of times there is not enough staff to help you out with your work load. They promote advancement from within but directors in the center itself do little to nothing in regards to your advancement. They need you, so they do not want to give you other opportunities. With the "directors" at some centers you are basically left to fend for yourself and figure things out. They just make things difficult instead of being a mediator. – less

I did not like the working conditions there. It took two months for me to recieve a paycheck due to disorganization and then losing a check of mine. I had to call the manager above the director to get anywhere as far as getting paid. I started as a floater and as soon as i was in a room I was told to go to another within minutes. Then told to go back – more...  to that room I started in only minutes after that. The Teacher with whom I worked with didn't get along with anyone including previous co-teachers she had worked with. It was difficult asking for anything I needed help with especially to the director. I had to go to the Asst director because she was more reliable. – less

BH is an awesome company to work for under the right leadership and client. Each client is different and can be very demanding then it goes with how the management react to their demands. I feel sorry for the teachers because they are consistently being told to do 10 different things and trying really watch the children and connect with the families. – more...  I think that they have lost the perspective that we are there for the kids instead of making sure we have every possible accreditation there is made to man. High turn over f teachers. – less

This company is great to work for if you are coming out of high school and want to further your education in early childhood or gain the experience with working with children. However, the pay is not that well. Overall, if you may consider this as your first job than Bright Horizons would be wonderful, but if you have a family you need to support it – more...  will be difficult to do so with the pay. – less

I enjoyed working at Bright Horizons because the Teacher that i worked with were friendly and worked together as a team. And worked well with the Center Director and Asst.

I have been working for over 6 years w/BHFS and they are very understanding with my changing needs and they do a great job in selecting candidates.

This place is okay but not as a profession. You gain experience working in a child care setting. It's also great if you are an ECE major but if you aren't I won't recommend it because you can't grown in the company if this isn't your major.

I truly enjoyed working at Bright Horizons for the past 2 1/2 years. Although they didn't pay too much, each year they did offer me a raise, and feedback on opportunities for growth. I think what made working there the most enjoyable was my coworkers. They made it a fun place to be and to come to every day !

Professional, well organised place of work. Here I gained a lot of experience working with babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and after-school aged children. Management provided support and supervision of staff’.

Great co-workers and flexibilty with work and personal time.
