BrightPath CrossPoint Child Care Center

"We love BrightPath daycare. Educators are great, very professional and responsible." - Chris LaFleur

Opened in 2001, our BrightPath, previously known as EduKids CrossPoint location can be found in the beautiful Business Park located at North French Road and Millersport Highway, right next to the 990. This BrightPath center provides a carefree and conveniently located child care program for countless employees of the business park. The loving and attentive staff in the infant suite welcomes your little one each day, while our esteemed preschool and kindergarten readiness program provides enriching daily activities and play opportunities. These facets, combined with the rigorous standards of the NAEYC curriculum, create the ultimate home away from home for your child. This location (along with our Williamsville center) is also a proud, integral part of the Williamsville UPK program.
