BrightPath Deer Ridge Child Care Centre

Our centre is situated on the cusp of the two southeast communities of Deer Ridge and Queensland along Canyon Meadows Drive and across the street from the Atria Retirement Home. Walking distance from Deer Valley Market Place in one direction and Don Bosco and Wilma Hansen Schools in the other, the centre offers convenient access for families on their way to and from work.

This centre is highly community-focused and gets involved in various activities occurring around the neighbourhood.

Throughout the year, they also visit the Seniors Home across the
