The centre offers 68 licensed spots for child care for 6-week to 5-year olds and before and after school care for 6 to 12-year olds. Transportation to and from Westwood Elementary School is provided. Situated in a quiet and mature neighbourhood, the long-term center staff will make you feel right at home.

Proud of their inviting outdoor space in front of the building as well as a covered infant play space which allows children to play even when it is raining, the centre puts a heavy emphasis on outdoor play and physical activity. As they are located close to the Coquitlam River and Westwood Park, the older children (usually preschool and older) are taken on walks and excursions to explore and learn in this beautiful, natural setting as well.

We also provide transportation for school-aged

What our families think about BrightPath Port Coquitlam North

"It's all about the teacher quality in this place! The Director of the place, Jasna, puts so much effort in finding incredibly caring staff that it does feel like a second home for my kids. Yes, maybe the building is old, but I do love how the constantly change the "decor" for the kids not for the adults. Also, there is no price tag for a full licensed centre. My kids adore the place, they have lots of friends that have stayed at the centre for 3+ years."

Ana Luisa Espinoza Vaca

"I am so glad I chose to register my son with BrightPath Port Coquitlam. Jasna is incredibly loving, and truly cares about the children and the staff. She's gone above and beyond to make our experience a great one. The facility is clean and tidy, and the teachers are warm and friendly."
