Today, we welcome a new sponsor, Bright Horizons, whose new West Seattle child-care center recently opened on the first floor of the Link Apartments building in The Triangle, and has a Grand Opening celebration this Saturday. Here’s what they would like you to know: Bright Horizons offers child care for infants through preschoolers. Bright Horizons works on each part of the development of each child, be it the mind, body, social self, or character. Children are encouraged to explore their surroundings, while their parents are given up-to-date information about children, education, child care, and development. Bright Horizons‘ goal is to create competent, life-long learners who will do well during their upcoming school years. Infant, toddler, and preschool programs are offered, along with limited part-time care for preschoolers. Tour appointments are accepted year round – just call 206-932-0820.

This Saturday (June 18th), you’re invited to the Grand Opening festivities at Bright Horizons-West Seattle (4530 38th SW), 10 am-1 pm – with activities, a chance to enter a drawing for gift-stuffed bags, and more. Here’s the schedule:
• Ribbon Cutting Ceremony – State Senator Sharon Nelson 10:45 a.m.
• Storytelling with Professor Watermelon 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
• Live performance by The Not-Its! 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m.

Bright Horizons is the BEST. I enrolled my daughter years ago into the one at the Long Acres and it was a comfort to know she was being so well taken care of.

Patrick is an amazing caregiver. He used to take care of my middle son at a daycare in Ballard. I can highly recommend him to anyone. So happy to see this news today!

We (and our child) LOVE having Bright Horizons in West Seattle. We consider ourselves lucky to have joined them “on the ground level”, when their classrooms are not currently so busy and the teachers can spend much more “special time” with every single child. Will also welcome a “full house” when they fill up every space they have, but in meantime, really enjoying the time and attention we get!

Love! My son is already enamored with Janice… And the staff has been so accommodating. Easiest transition ever, thanks to the family vibe (led by director Laurie). I’m impressed with the curriculum, too!!!
