What our families think about BrightPath Oriole Park

"Our children have been going here for about 6 months after having a very poor experience with another daycare. My son had minimal words when he moved as he was kept in the baby room at the other daycare and not the toddler room like he should have. Since switching and him being with kids his own age he’s speaking amazingly. We are so impressed. My daughter had made really great friends and enjoys going. The food is great and made in house by a red seal chef. I get jealous of the great, healthy meals they get to eat every day. The price is reasonable for the outstanding services you get."

Sinead Holstein

"My 2.5 year old daughter has been a part of this amazing daycare for almost 2 years now and I can not say enough amazing things about this facility. The staff is caring, professional and very dedicated to providing the upmost care and education to the children. I have seen the impact of their curriculum as my daughters language, motors skills, understanding and social development has increased tremedensoly since being enrolled. The staff and Director take the time to talk to the parents each day and discuss any concerns they might have. I would highly recommend this daycare facility to any parent!!"

Larissa Gach

"We have had an exceptional experience at BrightPath! Coming from a day home, we weren’t sure how our son would transition.. and he’s loving it. We’ve been at Oriole Park location for over a year now, and feel incredibly grateful for all the staff. Everyone is considerate, informative, and a special shout out to the director who keeps us all organized."

Kayla Maschke

"My daughter has been going here since she was 1. She's almost 3 now. The teachers are great. The curriculum is amazing. My daughter comes home daily with something new she has learned. I really enjoy how they have one on one with the kids especially if a young one needs a little extra attention. This daycare really caters to the specific needs of the individuals. Their meal plans here are very diverse, healthy, and creative."
