BrightPath Rundle Child Care Centre

Located on the corner of 36th Street and Rundlehorn Drive, behind Rundle Plaza, BrightPath Rundle is only a 10-minute walk from Rundle CTrain station and minutes away from Sunridge Mall.

The centre provides 92 licensed and accredited spaces for child care of 6-week to 5-year olds and before and after school care for 6 to 12-year olds.
