Welcome to the Labor and Industry Child Care Center. Our goal is to work with each family and child to promote growth and development in a safe and stimulating environment. We have been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) since 1999. Since 2003, our center has consistently received four star ratings from the Department of Human Services' Keystone Stars program which promotes child care providers who exceed state health and safety requirements.

The Bright Horizons Child Care Center at L&I, located on the first floor, east wing of the Labor and Industry Building, is open to children who have a parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle or legal guardian employed by the Commonwealth. *CONTRACTORS NOT ELIGIBLE.*

We have an open door policy and we encourage you to visit our center whenever your work schedule allows. As child care professionals, we strive to form a partnership with you and your family. Communication is very important to us.
