BrightPath Bowness Child Care Centre

Located in the heart of the Bowness neighbourhood, just a few steps away from Bowcroft School, BrightPath Bowness is easily accessible both by Bowness Road as well as Sarcee Trail and 16th Avenue.

The centre offers child care for children under 12 months to 5 years old and before and after school care for children from 6 to 12 years old. It is fully licensed and accredited and features 106 spaces in total. Our highly-multicultural centre is welcoming to all – children, parents and staff – and celebrates its diversity in the classroom through teaching about the cultures represented in the centre as well as events involving our families. The centre offers a large outdoor space, divided by age and skill-level to engage children while providing a safe space for learning based on development of the individual. Finally, Bowness is walking distance away from Bowcroft Elementary and Our Lady of the Assumption Schools providing easy access for our school-aged kids without the need to ride a school bus.
