Welcome to our back-up center, Bright Horizons at 2nd Street. We opened our doors to provide back-up care to children and families in June 2008. Serving children ages 6 weeks to 12 years, our highly skilled teachers and caregivers provide a special kind of care for children, designed to help them feel safe and secure in a new and unfamiliar environment. Our mission is to engage every child in developmentally appropriate opportunities for play and discovery and to help parents feel at ease when there are breakdowns in their regular care situations. Our center is open Monday through Friday for back-up child care and early education. The center is conveniently located at 303 2nd Street in the South Tower, on the Second Floor, in the SOMA district of downtown San Francisco off I-80 and near the Montgomery Street BART station. For those using public transportation, they can locate the nearby stops at: http://www.303second.com/transit_info.html  We have a 20-minute parking validation for convenient drop-off and pick-up in the parking garage beneath our building. You may access the garage from the Folsom Street or Harrison Street entrances.
