Centre Programs

Infant (6 Weeks - 18 Months)

Our infant program provides a warm, nurturing environment where caregivers form close bonds with babies, ensuring a secure and trusting relationship. Each infant follows their own schedule, with individualized care routines for feeding, sleeping, and play. Our educators support early development through sensory exploration, attachment-based play, and language-rich interactions, including the introduction of basic American Sign Language (ASL).

Key Focus Areas:

Building secure attachments with primary caregivers
Encouraging free exploration and movement
Facilitating play that supports sensory and cognitive development
Respecting each infant’s natural rhythms and routines

Toddler (18 Months - 3 Years)

Toddlers are naturally curious, energetic, and eager to explore. Our toddler program fosters independence while encouraging language development and social-emotional growth. Through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and structured routines, toddlers gain foundational skills for future learning.

Key Focus Areas:

Supporting independence (self-feeding, dressing, potty training)
Expanding language and communication through ASL and verbal expression
Encouraging social-emotional growth through cooperative play
Sensory experiences, music, and movement to enhance cognitive development

Preschool (3-4 Years)

Preschoolers are eager learners, exploring their world with curiosity and excitement.

What our families think about BrightPath Dixie

"Not only does our son LOVE going into his 'classroom' everyday, the staff there have been so welcoming and extremely helpful. You can tell every single staff member there loves their jobs and it shows with how happy my son and his classmates are. As a Mom who was completely dreading leaving her kid to go to work everyday, I actually love that he's there with these teachers because he comes home happy and that's all I can ask for. DEFINITELY recommend them :)"

Sara Martins

"My son has been attending BrightPath Dixie since he first started Childcare at the age of one. He has been through their Infant program, Toddler program and is currently in the Preschool program. I, as a mom, could not be any happier with the love, programming, fun, and relationships that my son has experienced. The staff is committed, kind, and extremely open to listening to anything I have to share with them that may have happened over the weekend with my son. I feel very calm everyday when I leave the centre knowing that he is in safe hands. I have also loved how clean the classrooms are. They keep the cubby area very organized, which makes it very easy at drop off and pick up. The office staff is kind and very personable. It is easy to see that there is a true passion and love for kids at BrightPath Dixie."
