BrightPath Rutherford Child Care Centre

BrightPath Rutherford is situated on the corner of Westburne Drive and Rutherford Road beside the 7-Eleven, just down the road from the Keele Street and Rutherford Road intersection. Located across the street from the Rutherford GO station and minutes from Highway 407, this centre is a favourite among commuting parents and the large parking lot uncomplicates drop off and pick up.

With large windows, the centre has a warm and inviting atmosphere and long-term staff are like family to the children in attendance, watching them learn and grow through each milestone. BrightPath Rutherford offers 160 licensed spaces for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.  The centre’s outdoor space features three large playgrounds, each targeted at developmentally appropriate stages for each age group; one with a climber, one with a bike path and one with toddler-themed toys like water and sand tables. When the children cannot play outside due to inclement weather, they have an indoor rec room to expand their imaginations and work off excess energy.
