BrightPath Elmwood Child Care Center
In response to demand for more reliable, accessible child care options within the Elmwood community, BrightPath, previously known as EduKids, provides this through reuse of the former Hodge Pediatrics offices. We have added an addition of approximately 4,500 sf of structural space, for a total of 11,000 usable indoor square feet, along with a large outdoor play area.
BrightPath, previously known as EduKids offers innovative programs led by a caring, dedicated staff, facilitated by state-of-the-art education centers, which combine to provide your child with a safe and nurturing home away from home. Our trained caregivers understand each child’s growing wonderment and expanding imagination and cater to each individual with love, attention, challenge and support.
