What our families think about BrightPath Kitchener

"My daughter just started at the center 3 weeks ago on a part time basis (she is 3). Although we are still adjusting to her being in day care I have to say the staff at BrightPath is doing their best to accomodate our transition. The teachers are so kind and very loving, the meal plan is loaded with a variety of healthy food and there is an app in which I receive a report daily on her activities. Thank you BrightPath for doing such a great job caring for my girl!"

Julia Bernier

"Our little guy spent his preschool days at this location when it was Peek-A-Boo and transitioned into Bright Path. He is now in JK and is doing wonderfully! His entire time at daycare was enjoyable. He learned a lot of socializing and independence. The entire staff showed our little guy lots of love and attention! We were very pleased with our experience and connection with staff. Thank you!"
