BrightPath Midnapore Child Care Centre

Our centre has been a proud part of its community since 1978. Close to the Macleod Trail and Shawnessy Boulevard intersection, the centre provides easy access to major thoroughfares while being tucked away in a quiet, mature residential area.

Fully licensed and accredited, the centre offers 100 spaces for child care to infants to 5-year olds and before and after school care for 6 to 12-year olds. The centre and its staff give a warm welcome to all that enter and make you feel part of the family. This feeling of home as well as the centre’s longevity has inspired second-generation BrightPath families – parents that came to the centre as children themselves years ago are now bringing their own children to the centre for care.

What our families think about BrightPath Midnapore

"The staff at Brightpath Midnapore are amazing! My daughter loves going there everyday and I feel very comfortable leaving her there daily! I was having a hard time leaving my daughter at a daycare for the first time, and visited many centres before choosing Brightpath Midnapore. The staff made me very comfortable, never shy away from questions of concerns and go up and beyond to insure my daughter is taken care of, and I am comfortable with her there. The amount of learning that takes place is great, the children are always engaged and the "teachers" truly care and have relationships with the children. The food the children are served, is better than I have for myself at work! I highly recommend visiting this centre and talking to Deanna about your concerns with daycare (if you have any), you will not be disappointed. Thank you Brightpath Midnapore for making a working mama comfortable with leaving my baby each day!"

" recently needed all day childcare for my 3yr old. I looked at a few places and hands down Midnapore Brightpath has the most welcoming and kind staff & they have made the transition for my child like the best play date ever 🙂 I took my older children with me to visit the daycares etc. I thought they would choose the more modern style some of them have but when we sat down to decide which was the best for us, they said Brightpath Midnapore. I asked why...they said ‘it’s just a good a feeling there...’ They are so right. I’m very happy to leave my child with them and feel safe in the knowledge my child is happy, well looked after, well fed 🙂 & making new friends AND LEARNING! The staff look happy to be there too and engaged. I read a previous review about staff smoking and I have to say I am very sensitive to the smell and I have never smelt smoke on anyone. 💐"
