Welcome to our back-up center, Bright Horizons Minnetonka. We opened our doors to provide back-up care to children and families in February 2001. 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 near the corner of 494 and 394 free parking is located in front of the center.

We welcome and encourage you to visit: see our age-appropriate learning spaces and meet our faculty.  If your schedule doesn't allow a tour, please open this short PowerPoint presentation to learn more about how your family will experience Back Up Care at Bright Horizons Minnetonka.
