What our families think about BrightPath Creekside

"My daughter is very resistant to change. I was naturally worried when I started taking her to brightpath creekside over a year ago. The staff was amazing at putting my worries and fears to rest. They were very patient and kind with my daughter during her intial days. They go out of their way to make the child comfortable. I would like to esp thank Sammy (for giving her extra hugs during her lunch when my daughter was sad), Ms. Sonia and Ms. Milada (for sitting next to her and patting her to sleep during nap times), Ms. Shayla for listening to my concerns and doing her best to make my daughter so comfortable. I highly recommend this place."

"BrightPath Creekside has been home to our girls since the day they opened almost 4 years ago. My older daughter started here at 17 months old and has learned so much in the time she has been attending. You are greeted with a smile every morning, the teachers are all wonderful and every single employee know both our girls by name. My now 2 year old runs into the room every morning and doesn't even look back at Mommy & Daddy. I leave there in the morning confident in the care our girls receive and I couldn't imagine leaving them with anyone else. They learn so much in the Frog Street Program, and my oldest daughter is more than ready to start Kindergarten thanks to BrightPath Creekside. They will be transporting her to the school everyday and I have no doubt she is in the best care possible. The Director and Assistant Director are wonderful to deal with. They are very accommodating to your needs and just want the best for the children. We love BrightPath Creekside and can never say enough good things about them! We look forward to both of our girls growing and learning with them!"
