What our families think about BrightPath Matheson East

"My boys attended Peekaboo from the infant room right through to kindergarten. I was soo happy with Cindy, Alena and the staff that when my daughter was born, I enrolled her as well. Although the facility is now called Brightpath, many of the staff members are still the same and have been there for over 10 years! My daughter enjoys going and my sons did as well. Food cooked daily, electronic reports daily, and great communication. The kids are actually learning something which is important to me since the first 6 years of life are the most important."
Mrs Downey

My 2 yr old daughter goes there and she has learned so much. This daycare is very clean and I have no complaints or regrets 🙂 this is definitely the daycare to send your child or children to. I am very happy I found this place I would call my daughters 2nd home :)"
