What Sets Us Apart
Our award-winning curriculum was formed through in-depth research into early childhood learning and development. A blend of play-based (Frog Street) and child-led (Emergent) curriculums, all activities are hands-on, child-guided and exceed provincial early learning frameworks.
Our dedicated and passionate early childhood educators deliver an innovative, engaging and proven curriculum that ignites a love of learning and inspires and encourages individuality in every BrightPath child. Their nurturing and attentive approach offers each child a home-away-from-home experience.
Two-way communication is important. Monthly newsletters, curriculum nights, parent interviews, open houses and our proprietary app (BrightPath Connect™) are designed to increase the interaction between our centres and families.
Children need nutrition to grow in both mind and body. Believing that food choices throughout childhood fuel life long eating habits, our menu is crafted by a Registered Nutritionist and prepared in-house daily and reflects those beliefs.

About The Centre
Situated in-between the two established neighbourhoods of Rosemount and Heritage Park, BrightPath Kitchener is minutes from the 401 and close to the Highway 7 cut off ramp, making it a highly accessible location for commuting parents.
Previously known as Peekaboo Kitchener, the centre offers 93 licensed child care spaces for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. A member of the Early Years Engage program initiated by the Waterloo region, the centre is committed to ongoing improvements in programming and continued education and development of their early childhood educators.
Open since 1999, the centre is well-established and offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Staff are friendly and welcoming, striving to make the centre a home away from home for the children in attendance. The centre features a full kitchen where a hot lunch and two snacks are prepared fresh onsite every day. In the outdoor space, the infant/toddler and preschool age groups are able to run, play and explore in two large yards stocked with toys and learning materials suitable to each age group.
