BrightPath Hertel Child Care Center
.jpg)
Opened in 2003 and located in the heart of the thriving Hertel/Colvin renaissance neighborhood, this exceptionally designed and fully equipped facility is the only NAEYC Accredited child care center in North Buffalo. Our center was immediately welcomed with open arms by the tight-knit community upon its opening and has since given back by providing quality Early Childhood Education and enrichment. The center is booming daily with vibrant music and the laughter of children that can be heard coming from our extraordinary, 6,000 square foot outdoor playground. This prestigious center was the first child care facility in the area to receive the highly coveted NAEYC Accreditation. We are a member of the Hertel Business Association and proud location of the Buffalo UPK program.
