BrightPath Charolais Child Care Centre

Located one block north of Steeles Avenue West and McLaughlin Road in Charolais Plaza, BrightPath Charolais is close to many local bus stops and walking distance to Sheridan College. Across their large parking lot, they have a wonderful walking path leading to a lush green space where they have their outdoor play area.

BrightPath Charolais is a cozy centre with 70 licensed spaces and four classrooms for children aged 6 weeks to 4 years. Being a smaller centre makes it easier to develop centre-wide family-based relationships.

With the children’s safety as a main priority, the centre has a keypad entry at their front door and when the children are not outside the playground is always locked. They also have transition gates for the children to use when crossing the driveway to the playground.

What our families think about BrightPath Charolais

"My child has been attending BrightPath for approximately one year and he enjoyed waking up in the mornings to attend a full day of daycare at BrightPath. The staff were extremely good with him and attending to his personal needs. He has also learned a lot of new things there along with some new developmental skills which I am very grateful for because as a single mom and working a full time job there hasn’t been much time for me to teach him certain things myself but the staff at this particular daycare have and once again, I am extremely grateful for that. I, as a parent will certainly miss the staff there who taught and cared for my little one. I know my child will miss it and them as well. Overall, this daycare facility is Safe, The staff are friendly. If I happen to have another child in the near future I would certainly send them to this particular Daycare. The location was great and very convenient for myself and my child. The ONE & ONLY thing I was a bit hesitant about sending my child here was that it’s RIGHT BESIDE a bar lol but again it is safe and a code is required to get in the facility and the bar is not open in the morning but I think late in the afternoon. So once again thank you to all the staff for all your hard work!! We will certainly pop by and visit. MRS.PAVAN I WILL YOU ALL THE BEST!!!!! And again thank you to each and every single one of you who cared for and taught my child and kept my child safe! 🙏"
