BrightPath Academy Wanless Park Child Care Centre

BrightPath Academy Wanless Park, previously known as ABC Academy, is located at 18 and 20 Melrose Ave., just off of Yonge Street in the Yonge and Lawrence area. Our child care centre has been located in these two houses, side-by-side, since 2007 and has spaces for 84 children between the ages of 4 months to 4 years old. 

We offer a play-based approach that fosters independence and teaches and encourages the children to experiment with play, explore, and inquire about the world around them. We offer many enrichment programs such as French with Madame Aleks, X Movement Music and Dance, the Jolly Phonics program, WeeMove, and Yoga and Mindfulness programs.
