What our families think about BrightPath Cambridge

"Our son has attended BrightPath from 12 months of age to just over 3 years old when we moved cities. The Centre was everything we were looking for our son. The Centre director (Adina) and the teachers are great and foster a positive learning environment through a wide range of activities. Other things we enjoyed included safe and secure facility, large outdoor play structure and tricycles for the kids, big indoor gym for rainy/cold days, great fresh/hot food, and a good curriculum. Communication with the parents is frequent by the teachers as well as the Centre director. There was a rocky transition from Peekaboo to BrightPath in 2017 but we never considered moving our son as his environment in the classroom with his teachers (Ally and Heba) was fantastic through it all. Adina, the Centre director, has really brought the Centre through the transition providing reliable support for the classrooms/teachers and bringing the Centre together as a whole."

"Great daycare center! I live and work in Waterloo but commute everyday (2 hours total) to this center because I feel safe leaving my two kids here. We’ve been with Brightpath for almost 3 years now (Calgary AB and Cambridge ON) and we love that there’s a curriculum. I see the growth and development with my kids and am always amazed at the things they tell me they’ve learned at “school”. I literally have to chase my kids down everyday at pick up as they don’t want to leave and the teachers there really seem to care. Our teachers are always so excited to tell us all the funny things our kids did or said that day and I just feel comfortable leaving my kids in their care. The center director Adina is great! She’s very organized, knows all of us by our names, and is very pleasant to talk to. I definitely recommend this center to any apprehensive parents with high standards."
