"Leaving your loved ones with people you don't know is a terrifying experience, but this is a place where your children can think of as a second home starting from the director Raman, who is always there taking care of the details and treating the children like her own. The staff is always full of enthusiasm and ready to make the children’s day a whole lot better! Besides all that the place is clean, organized, full of toys and the children never want to go home. Thanks, BrightPath Mill Woods, you make it easier for working Moms."
