What Sets Us Apart
Our award-winning curriculum was formed through in-depth research into early childhood learning and development. A blend of play-based (Frog Street) and child-led (Emergent) curriculums, all activities are hands-on, child-guided and exceed provincial early learning frameworks.
Our dedicated and passionate early childhood educators deliver an innovative, engaging and proven curriculum that ignites a love of learning and inspires and encourages individuality in every BrightPath child. Their nurturing and attentive approach offers each child a home-away-from-home experience.
Two-way communication is important. Monthly newsletters, curriculum nights, parent interviews, open houses and our proprietary app (BrightPath Connect™) are designed to increase the interaction between our centres and families.
Children need nutrition to grow in both mind and body. Believing that food choices throughout childhood fuel life long eating habits, our menu is crafted by a Registered Nutritionist and prepared in-house daily and reflects those beliefs.

About The Centre
BrightPath Woodlands is located on the corner of Woodpark Boulevard and Woodstock Road with the centre easily accessed on the way to Anderson Road and out of the residential communities.
The centre is licensed and accredited with 94 spaces for child care for children aged 12 months to 5 years and before and after school care for those aged 6 to 12 years. With many long-term staff in residence, everyone is afforded a warm welcome at the centre. When walking through the doors you can feel the love extended to the attending children and their families. The team is passionate and shares experiences regularly, to learn from and to inspire each other in their daily work.
BrightPath Woodlands works closely with its parent group to provide learning sessions to their children. Parents are encouraged to share cultural customs and celebrations, job-related information (police, fire, doctors, etc.) as well as interesting hobbies (beekeeping, etc.) with the children, to enhance and enrich their learning and build an even more tight-knit community within the centre.

Maribeth Juco, Centre DirectorBrightPath Woodlands
Meet The Centre Director
Maribeth started working in the child care field in 2013. Having previously been an elementary teacher in the Philippines for over 9 years, she has had a natural passion for taking care of children. Maribeth has a Master’s in Education Management in the Philippines, along with receiving a Child Development Certificate from the Alberta Human Services. Maribeth joined the BrightPath team in 2013 and is now the Director at Woodlands.
Maribeth’s favourite part about being a Director is being able to help the parents go through transition as they enroll their child care for the first time. She sees each day as an new adventure, being with the children, promoting and maintaining a safe environment, nurturing and providing a quality educational program for the children at the centre are her top priorities.
After immigrating to Canada from the Philippines, Maribeth lives blissfully with her three teenage children. Other than English, Maribeth speaks Tagalog and other Filipino languages that are spoken in some provinces. In her spare time, she loves to spend time with her family watching movies, cooking, and camping. She is a self-proclaimed foodie, always looking for new and exotic cuisines.
