We are delighted that you have given us the opportunity to be a part of one of the most important decisions your family will make, the decision to find quality child care. Bright Horizons at NOAA has been open since 1993. We are located in downtown Silver Spring, MD, directly behind the Silver Spring Metro Station. The center is housed on the terrace level of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The NOAA center is a NAEYC accredited center with a capacity for 85 children, ages six weeks – five years. The center serves NOAA employees, other Federal Families, as well as the community. We invite you to not only tour the site, but to come and tour the center where you will be given the opportunity to see our dedicated staff and our enriching environment in action.
