UChicago Child Development Centers managed by Bright Horizons®

UChicago’s Child Development Centers, managed in partnership with Bright Horizons®, serve children of faculty members, other academic appointees, postdoctoral researchers, staff, and students in two convenient locations. University of Chicago affiliates receive enrollment priority and preferred tuition rates at both locations.

Bright Horizons’ approach to early education and teaching is rooted in the science of learning, creating a unique experience through play, experimenting with possibilities, problem solving, and project work. In each classroom, teachers provide a stimulating environment for learning and development. For more than 30 years, Bright Horizons has helped children discover their individual talents and strengths and become confident learners for life.

UChicago Child Development Centers are open year-round, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and offer a variety of full- and part-time programs for children ages six weeks to five years old. Drop-in-care for infants through kindergarten-aged children is also available as classroom space allows.
