What our families think about BrightPath Highland Park

"daunting. However, I had been communicating with Shabnam, the Director, just before arriving and we were welcomed with open arms and it has been one of the best decisions we have made. Everyone is absolutely fantastic, all of the teachers deeply care about all of the children and they nurture and encourage them everyday. Thank you everyone at BrightPath Highland Path, my son absolutely loves it there and you have really helped him learn, grow and develop into the little boy he is today! 😀"

"We absolutely love this daycare centre. The BrightPath chain of childcare facilities provides excellent environment for early childhood learning. The structure, the curriculum, and most importantly the teachers are all great.

Specific to the Highland Park location, we love that all of the teachers and the directors take immense pride in their work with the children. They all provide great affection when caring for the children, creating a safe and loving environment for the kids outside of home. The facility itself is fantastic, as it is located in a neighbourhood with great outdoor space.

We can not recommend this daycare enough."
